Opening and Closing
Press down on a switch to lower the
associated window. Window switches operate
at two levels:
• To lower a window fully, press the switch
all the way down and immediately release.
• To lower a window partially, press the
switch gently and release when the window
is where you want it.
Similarly, pull a switch to raise the associated
window:
• To raise a window fully, pull the switch all
the way up and immediately release.
• To raise a window partially, pull the switch
gently and release when the window is
where you want it.
NOTE: See Cold Weather Best Practices on
page 104 for information on preparing
windows for cold weather.
CAUTION:
When exiting the vehicle,
be careful not to unintentionally press
the window switches, as they may
lower the windows on the driver or
other doors.
CAUTION:
Closing the door while the
window is fully raised (for example, if
manually raised) can damage the
windows or the vehicle. Ensure the
window is slightly lowered before
closing the door.
WARNING:
Before closing a window, it
is the driver’s responsibility to ensure
that all occupants, especially children,
do not have any body parts extended
through the window’s opening. Failure
to do so can cause serious injury.
Locking Rear Windows
To prevent passengers from using the rear
window switches, touch Controls > Quick
Controls > Window Lock. To unlock the rear
windows, touch Window Lock again.
WARNING: To ensure safety, it is
recommended that you lock the rear
window switches whenever children
are seated in the rear seats.
WARNING: Never leave children
unattended in Model 3.
Calibrating Windows
In the unlikely event that a window behaves
unexpectedly (touches the bright molding,
fails to open or close properly, goes down
more than normal when the door opens, etc.),
you can calibrate it to potentially
fix the issue.
To calibrate a window:
1. Close the door with the aected window.
2. Sit in the driver's seat and close the
driver door.
3. Use the driver window switch to raise the
aected window until it stalls.
4. Use the driver window switch to lower
the aected window until it stalls.
5. Use the driver window switch to raise the
aected window until it stalls.
The window should now be calibrated. If the
issue continues after attempting the
calibration procedure a couple times, contact
Tesla.
