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
• You can direct the face-level vents toward
the windows to help defrost or defog
them.
•
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 Y 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 Y when parked. Extra
water produced by the dehumidifying
process is drained underneath.
• Model Y
is designed to automatically
maximize eciency; therefore, your air
conditioning compressor and external fan
may run and make noise even when the
outside temperature is cold and your
vehicle is heating or supercharging.
• 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%.
