d. Route the hose so that it is secured by the tab.e.
Use a 10mm socket to install the bolt that attaches the washer
fluid reservoir neck to the underhood
storage unit. Torque the bolt to 5 Nm (3.7 ft-lb).

Replace the underhood apron by aligning the clips into their openings in the front trunk. Press down to lock them in place. The clips make an audible clicking
sound when secured.
12.
Close the front trunk. If an alert to replace the low-
voltage battery was previously shown on the
touchscreen, ensure the alert no longer appears.

Displaying Tire Pressures
Tire pressures display on the touchscreen in the cards
area on the car status display, or by touching Controls >
Service. The pressure of each tire displays in the
visualization of your
Model Y, in addition to what time
your tire pressures were last measured. You can choose
whether you want to display tire pressures using Bar or PSI by touching
Controls > Display > Tire Pressure. The
touchscreen also displays your vehicle

WARNING: Do not drive Model Y if a tire is
damaged, excessively worn, or inflated to an
incorrect pressure. Check tires regularly for wear,
and ensure there are no cuts, bulges or exposure
of the ply/cord structure.
Tire Wear
Adequate tread depth is important for proper tire
performance. Tires with a tread depth less than
4/32

When a tire set becomes worn, replace all four tires at
the same time. Choose a Tesla-approved tire which is
designed
specifically for your vehicle. Most Tesla-
approved tires can be
identified with a Tx specification
(for example, T0, T1, T2). Tesla-approved tires are
designed to reduce road noise and optimize handling, ride, and range. Contact Tesla Service for information.
If tires need to be replaced early, for example due to a
flat tire, we recommend replacing the tires in pairs
unless the other tires are within
2/32 in (1.5 mm) of tread
depth of the new tire. When replacing tires, it is important to match the brand and model of the older
tires. Always place a pair of new tires on the rear if all four tires are the same size. Always balance the wheel and tire after replacing a tire. Consult with a professional tire retailer and installer for further guidance.
If you
replace your tires or install different ones, reset the tire
configuration (see Tire Configuration on page 188). This
resets the learned tire settings and improves the driving
experience on your new tires.
NOTE: Regardless of the number of tires replaced, a
complete set of matching tires is recommended for optimum performance.
If tires other than those specified are used, ensure that
the load and speed ratings marked on the tire
(see
Understanding Tire Markings on page 216) equal or
exceed those of the original
specification.
For the specification of the original wheels and tires
installed on
Model Y, see Wheels and Tires on page 215.
If you replace a wheel, the TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) sensors need to be reset to ensure they provide accurate warnings when tires are
under-
inflated (see Automatic Reset of TPMS Sensors on page
188).
NOTE: Installing winter tires with aggressive compound
and tread design may result in temporarily-reduced regenerative braking power. However, your vehicle is
designed to continuously recalibrate itself, and after changing tires it will increasingly restore regenerative
braking power after some moderate-torque straight-line accelerations. For most drivers this occurs after a short period of normal driving, but drivers who normally accelerate lightly may need to use slightly harder accelerations while the recalibration is in progress. Go to
Service > Wheel & Tire Configuration > Tires to select
winter tires and quicken this process.
WARNING: For your safety, use only tires and
wheels that match the original specification. Tires
that do not match the original specification can
affect the operation of the TPMS.
WARNING: Never exceed the speed rating of your
vehicle

For Gemini wheels, press on the perimeter of the cover until it aligns with the wheel surface. Press on the Tesla

WARNING: Only use Tesla-approved wheels when
installing or swapping wheels. Using non Tesla-
approved wheels can cause serious damage. Tesla
is not liable for damage caused by using wheels
not approved by Tesla.

malfunction indicator is on, the system might not be able to detect or signal
under-inflated tires as intended.
TPMS malfunctions can occur for a variety of reasons,
including installing replacement or alternate tires or wheels that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction indicator light after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to
ensure that the replacement tires or wheels allow the
TPMS to continue to function properly.
NOTE: If a tire has been replaced or repaired using a
different tire sealant than the one available from Tesla,
and a low tire pressure is detected, it is possible that the tire sensor has been damaged. Contact Tesla to have the fault repaired as soon as possible.
Seasonal Tire Types
Understand Your Tire Type
The type of tires that your vehicle is originally equipped
with depends on vehicle model and market region. It is important to understand the capabilities of your vehicle

When installing tire chains, follow the instructions and warnings provided by the tire chain manufacturer. Mount them evenly and as tight as possible.
