Wipers
To perform a single wipe with the windshield
wipers, press and immediately release the
button on the end of the turn signal stalk. You
can access the wiper settings from the main
Controls screen to adjust the speed of the
wipers:
I - Intermittent, slow
II - Intermittent, fast
III - Continuous, slow
IIII - Continuous, fast
Auto: Model Y detects whether or not it is
raining. When wipers are set to Auto and
liquid is detected on the windshield,
Model Y
determines the optimal frequency at which
they should wipe. If Model Y does not detect
liquid on the windshield, the wipers do not
wipe.
For one-touch access to the wipers, you can
add the wiper control to My Apps. See
Customizing My Apps on page 7.
NOTE: You can also adjust the windshield
wiper speed and frequency using voice
commands (see
Voice Commands on page
163).
CAUTION:
Ensure the wipers are o
before washing Model Y to avoid the
risk of damaging the wipers.
Periodically check and clean the edge of the
wiper blades. If a blade is damaged, replace it
immediately. For details on checking and
replacing wiper blades, see
Wiper Blades and
Washer Jets on page 202.
CAUTION:
To avoid damaging the
hood, ensure that the hood is fully
closed before using the windshield
wipers.
CAUTION:
In harsh climates, ensure
that the wiper blades are not frozen or
adhered to the windshield. Remove ice
from the windshield before using the
wipers. Ice has sharp edges that can
damage the rubber on the blades.
Windshield Washers
Fully press and hold the button on the end of
the turn signal stalk to spray washer fluid
onto the windshield. While spraying the
windshield, the wipers turn on. After releasing
the button, the wipers perform two additional
wipes then, depending on vehicle and
environmental conditions, a third wipe a few
seconds later.
Periodically top up washer fluid (see Topping
Up Windshield Washer Fluid on page 204).
