WARNING: Never leave a child unattended in your
vehicle.
WARNING: Check local laws for any restrictions on
leaving pets unattended in your vehicle.
WARNING: You are responsible for the safety of
your dog or pet. Never leave them in Model S for
long periods of time. Constantly monitor the
vehicle temperature and their well-being. Make
sure you have sucient cellular coverage on your
phone and time to return to the vehicle, if
necessary.
WARNING: In the unlikely event that your climate
control system needs service or is not working as
expected, avoid using Keep Climate On, Dog, and
Camp. Never rely on your vehicle to protect
something irreplaceable.
WARNING: You can adjust and monitor the climate
control system remotely using the mobile app.
However, if you use the mobile app to turn o the
climate control system, Keep Climate On, Dog, and
Camp stop operating.
Cabin Air Filter(s)
Model S has one or more air filters to prevent pollen,
industrial fallout, road dust and other particles from
entering through the vents.
NOTE: Cabin air filter(s) require periodic replacement.
See Service Intervals on page 170.
Cabin Overheat Protection
The climate control system can reduce the temperature
of the cabin in extremely hot ambient conditions for a
period of up to twelve hours after you exit
Model S.
Touch Controls > Safety > Cabin Overheat Protection
and choose:
•
O: Disable Cabin Overheat Protection.
•
On: The air conditioning operates when the cabin
temperature exceeds 105° F (40° C).
NOTE: Cabin Overheat Protection operates until 12 hours
has elapsed since you exited Model S, or until the
Battery energy drops below 20%, whichever comes first.
WARNING:
Never leave children or pets in the
vehicle unattended. Due to automatic shut-o or
extreme outside conditions, the inside of the
vehicle can become dangerously hot, even when
Cabin Overheat Protection is enabled.
Climate Control Operating Tips
• When you use the mobile app to turn on the climate
control system, it automatically turns o after four
hours or if the charge level drops to 20%. To cool or
heat the cabin for a longer period, you must turn it on
again.
• If the climate control system is louder than you prefer,
manually reduce the fan speed.
• In addition to cooling the interior, the air conditioning
compressor also cools the Battery. Therefore, in hot
weather, the air conditioning compressor can turn on
even if you turned it o. This is normal because the
system’s priority is to cool the Battery to ensure it
stays within an optimum temperature range to
support longevity and optimum performance.
• Even when not in use, you may hear Model S emit a
whining noise or the sound of water circulating.
These sounds are normal and occur when the internal
cooling systems turn on to support various vehicle
functions, such as maintaining the
low voltage
battery and balancing the temperature of the high
voltage Battery.
•
To ensure the climate control system operates
eciently, close all windows and ensure that the
exterior grille in front of the windshield is free of ice,
snow, leaves, and other debris.
•
In very humid conditions, it is normal for the
windshield to fog slightly when you first turn on the
air conditioning.
•
It is normal for a small pool of water to form under
Model S when parked. Extra water produced by the
dehumidifying process is drained underneath.
•
To reduce the temperature in the cabin in hot
weather conditions, the fan may turn on to vent the
cabin when the vehicle is parked. This occurs only if
the battery's charge level is above 20%.
