Keep Climate On, Dog Mode, and
Camp Mode
The Keep Climate On, Dog, and Camp settings
allow you to keep the climate control system
running when in Park, even after you've left
Model S or choose to stay inside the vehicle.
These settings are useful when it is important
to maintain the cabin temperature in hot or
cold weather conditions. For example, when
leaving groceries in Model S on hot days, you
may want to use Keep Climate On to prevent
spoilage.
Dog mode keeps your pet comfortable while
also displaying the current cabin temperature
on the touchscreen so people nearby are
informed that your pet does not need to be
rescued.
Camp Mode allows you to power electronics
through the USB ports and 12V outlet in
addition to maintaining the cabin temperature.
The touchscreen remains on so you can play
music, browse the internet, play games in the
arcade, or watch shows in Tesla Theater. You
can also control media and climate settings
from a paired phone. Camp Mode is ideal for
remaining inside your vehicle, such as
camping or staying with a child.
Note: In Camp Mode, Sentry Mode and the
vehicle alarm system are disabled.
To operate Keep Climate On, Dog Mode, or
Camp Mode:
1. Engage the Park gear. The Keep Climate
On, Dog, and Camp settings are available
only when Model S is in Park.
2. If necessary, adjust the climate settings.
3. Touch the fan icon then touch Keep
Climate On, Dog, or Camp.
Note: To initiate Keep Climate On, Dog Mode,
or Camp Mode, the Battery's charge level
must be at least 20%.
The climate control system maintains your
climate settings until you shift out of Park or
manually turn it o. If the Battery's charge
level drops below 20%, the Tesla mobile app
repeatedly starts sending you notifications
reminding you to check on anything that you
have left in Model S.
The next time you drive Model S, the climate
control system continues operating using the
previous climate settings from your most
recent trip.
Note: Software updates cannot be performed
when Keep Climate On, Dog Mode, or Camp
Mode is active.
Note:
The intrusion sensor (if equipped)
automatically disables when Keep Climate On,
Dog Mode, or Camp Mode is active. However,
you can override this behavior and keep the
intrusion sensor enabled. To do so, touch
Controls > Safety & Security > Tilt/Intrusion
after enabling Keep Climate On, Dog mode, or
Camp mode. However, note that keeping the
intrusion sensor enabled while Keep Climate
On, Dog Mode, and Camp Mode is active can
trigger an alarm event as a result of air
movement inside the cabin.
Warning: You can adjust 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 Mode, and Camp
Mode stop operating.
Warning: Avoid using Keep Climate On,
Dog Mode, or Camp Mode when the
battery charge is low. When leaving a dog
or pet in Model S, you must ensure that
you have your phone with you and that
the Tesla mobile app is running. This
allows you to proactively monitor the
cabin temperature. To ensure the safety
and comfort of anyone or anything in
your vehicle, always make sure you have
adequate cellular coverage to receive
notifications and allow enough time to
return to Model S should the climate
control system stop operating—on hot
days, the cabin temperature can become
dangerously high within a few minutes.
Warning: Check local laws for any
restrictions on leaving pets unattended in
your vehicle.
Warning: Never leave a child unattended
in your vehicle.
Ventilation
Outside air is drawn into Model S through the
grill in front of the windshield. Keep the grill
clear of obstructions such as leaves and snow.
To direct the flow of air inside Model S, move
the interior vents up, down, or from side to
side.
