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
o. 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.
Cabin Air Filter(s)
Model Y 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
189.
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 Y. Touch
Controls > Safety > Cabin Overheat
Protection and choose:
• O: Disable Cabin Overheat Protection.
•
No A/C: Only the fan operates when the
cabin temperature exceeds
40° C. This
option consumes less energy but the
cabin temperature may exceed
40° C.
• On: The air conditioning operates when
the cabin temperature exceeds 40° C.
NOTE: Cabin Overheat Protection operates
until 12 hours has elapsed since you exited
Model Y, or until the Battery energy drops
below 20%, whichever comes first.
