Overview of Climate Controls
Climate controls are always available at the bottom of the touchscreen. To turn the climate control system on, touch
the fan icon or adjust the cabin temperature. To turn it
off, touch the fan icon and then touch the off button near the
center of the popup window.
By default, climate control is set to the Auto setting, which maintains optimum comfort in all but the most severe
weather conditions. When you adjust the cabin temperature in the Auto setting, the system automatically adjusts the
heating, air conditioning, air distribution, and fan speed to maintain the cabin at your selected temperature. To
override the Auto setting, touch the fan icon, turn

Operating Seat Heaters
To control the front seat heaters for the driver and passenger, touch the corresponding control on the main climate
control area at the bottom of the touchscreen.
To control the rear seat heaters (if equipped) or access duplicate
controls for the front seat heaters, touch the fan icon, then touch the seat heater icon followed by the seat for which
you want to adjust heating. Seat heaters operate at three setting levels from 3 (highest) to 1 (lowest). When
operating, the associated seat icon displays twisting lines that turn red to indicate the setting level. You can touch
All
Off to turn off all seat heaters simultaneously.
Adjusting the Front Vents
Model Y has a unique horizontal face-level vent that
spans the width of the dashboard. Using the
touchscreen, you can pinpoint exactly where you want to direct the air
flowing from this vent when heating or
cooling the front cabin area.

Passenger vent and controls
When the face-level vent is on you can adjust the direction of the air
flow from each vent. To adjust the
direction of the air
flow, simply touch the radiating air
waves from the corresponding vent on the touchscreen.
The air
flows in a single stream when centered or splits
into mirrored air streams when air is directed outward or inward from the center of the vent.
When Model Y detects that there are no passengers
sitting in the passenger seat, the passenger vent and controls automatically turn
off. Adjust the climate
settings to enable passenger air
flow.
NOTE: When you split a vent into two separate air flows,
the air flow in each direction is not as strong as when all
air is
flowing in a single direction.
NOTE: Outside air is drawn into Model Y through the
grill in front of the windshield. Keep the grill clear of
obstructions, such as leaves and snow.
Adjusting the Rear Vents
Model Y has vents located at the back of the center
console where air
flows from when the setting is turned
on from the touchscreen. To direct the
flow of air in the
rear cabin area, adjust the vents at the rear of the center console up, down, or from side to side as necessary.
