• The vehicle detects an issue with the climate control
system.
• The cabin temperature changes significantly from the
level initially set for Dog.
NOTE: Software updates cannot be performed when Keep
Climate On, Dog, or Camp is active.
WARNING:
Never leave a child unattended in your
vehicle.
WARNING:
Check local laws for any restrictions on
leaving pets unattended in your vehicle.
WARNING:
You are responsible for the safety of your
dog or pet. Never leave them in Model Y for long
periods of time. Constantly monitor the vehicle
temperature and their well-being. Make sure you have
sufficient cellular coverage on your phone and time to
return to the vehicle, if necessary.
WARNING:
In the unlikely event that your climate
control system needs service or is not working as
expected, avoid using Keep Climate On, Dog, and
Camp. Never rely on your vehicle to protect something
irreplaceable.
WARNING:
You can adjust and monitor the climate
control system remotely using the mobile app.
However, if you use the mobile app to turn off the
climate control system, Keep Climate On, Dog, and
Camp stop operating.
Cabin Overheat Protection
Cabin Overheat Protection prevents the cabin from getting
too hot in scorching ambient conditions. While not necessary
to activate whenever you leave Model Y, the climate control
system can reduce and maintain the temperature of your
vehicle’s cabin. This can prevent the cabin from getting too
hot after leaving it parked in the sun, making the vehicle more
comfortable when you return. Cabin Overheat Protection
may take up to 15 minutes to enable once you exit the
vehicle. This feature is intended for passenger comfort and
has no impact on the reliability of your vehicle's components.
To turn on, touch Controls > Safety > Cabin Overheat
Protection and choose:
•
On: The air conditioning operates when the cabin
temperature exceeds 40° C, or the selected temperature
if available, on the touchscreen or mobile app.
Customizing temperatures may require the most recent
version of the mobile app.
•
No A/C: Only the fan operates to prevent touch surfaces
from getting too hot.
•
Off: Disables Cabin Overheat Protection.
You can also enable Cabin Overheat Protection remotely
through the mobile app by touching Climate. Swipe up on the
bottom menu and select a setting under
Cabin Overheat
Protection (see Mobile App on page 55).
Cabin Overheat Protection operates until 12 hours has
elapsed once you exit Model Y, or until the Battery energy
drops below 20%, whichever comes first. Using Cabin
Overheat Protection requires energy from the Battery, which
may decrease range.
WARNING:
Due to automatic shut-off, extreme outside
conditions, or other potential inability to maintain the
selected temperature, the inside of the vehicle can
become dangerously hot, even when Cabin Overheat
Protection is enabled. If you experience temperatures
exceeding the selected temperature repeatedly,
contact Tesla service.
WARNING:
Never leave children or pets in the vehicle
unattended. Due to automatic shut-off or extreme
outside conditions, the inside of the vehicle can
become dangerously hot, even when Cabin Overheat
Protection is enabled.
Climate Control Operating Tips
•
When you use the mobile app to turn on the climate
control system, it automatically turns off when the charge
level drops to 20%, or if two hours has passed. To cool or
heat the cabin for a longer period of time, charge the
vehicle and re-enable your climate control preference
through the mobile app.
• You can improve the efficiency of the cabin heating by
reducing your selected acceleration mode (see
Acceleration Modes on page 88). This allows the heat
pump system to take more heat from the Battery to
efficiently heat the cabin, instead of maintaining the
Battery's ability to provide peak acceleration
performance. This helps to maximize driving efficiency in
colder weather. Note that when subsequently increasing
the acceleration mode, the Battery requires time to warm
up before the increased level of acceleration is available.
•
Your charge port latch may freeze in extremely cold
weather or icy conditions. In cases where you cannot
remove or insert the charge cable, or your vehicle is not
Supercharging due to the latch being frozen in place,
enable Defrost Car in the mobile app. This helps thaw ice
on the charge port latch so the charge cable can be
removed or inserted. See
Cold Weather Best Practices on
page 140 for more information.
•
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 off. 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.
