5. Touch to control the heated steering wheel, if equipped. The icon displays red twisting lines that correspond to the set
level. If set to Auto, the steering wheel is heated as needed, based on cabin temperature, whenever the climate control
system is set to Auto. For one-touch access, you can add this control to the touchscreen's bottom bar (see Customizing
My Apps on page 7).
6.
The windshield defroster distributes air flow to the windshield. Touch once to defog the windshield (the icon turns blue).
Touch a second time to defrost the windshield. Touch a third time to turn off and restore the air distribution, heating, and
fan to their previous settings.
7. Touch to warm up the rear windshield. After 15 minutes, the rear window defroster automatically turns off. The exterior side
mirrors and charge port are also heated whenever the rear window defroster is operating. See Cold Weather Best Practices
on page 140 for more information on preparing for cold weather.
8.
Use the slider to adjust the fan speed. When in Auto, the fan speed levels change to Low/ Medium/ High.
NOTE: Adjusting the fan speed may change the selected setting for how air is drawn into Model Y in order to increase or
reduce air flow.
9.
Touch to control the flow of air inside the cabin. Air can be drawn into Model Y from outside or air can be recirculated
inside the cabin.
10.
If your Model Y is equipped with the medical-grade HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filter, this filter ensures the best
quality air inside the cabin whenever the climate control system is on and outside air is entering the cabin (recirculate is
off). The HEPA filter is extremely effective at removing particles, including pollution, allergens, bacteria, pollen, mold
spores, and viruses. Both the HEPA filter and the secondary filtration system also contain activated carbon to remove a
broad spectrum of odors and gases. When you engage Bioweapon Defense Mode, the positive pressure inside the cabin
minimizes the amount of outside air that can enter the vehicle.
NOTE: Some gases, such as carbon monoxide, are not effectively removed by activated carbon.
11.
Touch to oscillate the passenger vent air wave.
12. Touch the passenger's side seat icon to adjust seat heaters for the front passenger. The seat operates at three levels from 3
(highest) to 1 (lowest). The seat icon displays twisting lines that turn red (heating) or blue (cooling) corresponding with the
set level. Auto warms or cools the front seats based on cabin temperature.
13. Touch to adjust how air flows from the front vents. When the climate control system is operating, the passenger front vent
can be turned off independently of driver's vent by touching and holding the front passenger air wave on the touchscreen
and following the instructions. See Adjusting the Front and Rear Vents on page 138.
14. When Model Y is in Park, touch Schedule to set a recurring daily time when you want Model Y to be ready to drive by
preconditioning the Battery and cabin climate and/or charging during off-peak hours (see Scheduled Precondition and
Charge on page 165).
15. Touch to adjust the climate settings for the front or rear cabin. If Auto is enabled for the rear cabin and a passenger is
detected, the set temperature is maintained for the rear cabin (see Adjusting the Front and Rear Vents on page 138).
16. When in Park, these settings display to allow you to keep the climate control system operating, even when you leave Model
Y (see Keep Climate On, Dog, and Camp on page 135).
NOTE: To turn them on, the Battery's charge level must be at least 20%.
17. Choose where air flows into the front cabin (windshield, face-level, or foot-level vents). You can choose one or more vents.
18.
Touch to turn the air conditioning system on or off. Turning it off reduces cooling, but saves energy.
NOTE: Because Model Y runs much quieter than a gasoline-powered vehicle, you may notice the sound of the air
conditioning compressor as it is operating. To minimize noise, reduce the fan speed.
19.
Touch Auto to turn the Auto setting on or off.
NOTE: When Reduce Fan Speed During Calls is enabled and Auto is selected, the fan speed automatically lowers to reduce
the sound of ambient noise while on a call. For more information, see Bluetooth on page 59.
