Maintenance
NOTE: 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. Also, even when not in use, you may hear
Model X 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.
WARNING: Contact Tesla immediately if you notice
any significant or sudden drop in fluid levels or
uneven tire wear.
Fluid Replacement Intervals
Your Battery coolant does not need to be replaced for
the life of your vehicle under most circumstances. Brake
fluid should be checked every 2 years, replacing if
necessary*.
*If the vehicle is used for towing, the brake fluid should
be replaced every 2 years regardless of the health check.
NOTE: Any damage caused by opening the Battery
coolant reservoir is excluded from the warranty.
High Voltage Safety
Your Model X has been designed and built with safety as
a priority. However, be aware of these precautions to
protect yourself from the risk of injury inherent in all
high-voltage systems:
• Read and follow all instructions provided on the
labels that are attached to Model X. These labels are
there for your safety.
• The high voltage system has no user-serviceable
parts. Do not disassemble, remove or replace high
voltage components, cables or connectors. High
voltage cables are colored orange for easy
identification.
• If a collision occurs, do not touch any high voltage
wiring, connectors, or components connected to the
wiring.
• In the unlikely event that a fire occurs, immediately
contact your local fire emergency responders.
WARNING: Always disconnect the charge cable
before working underneath Model X, even if
charging is not in progress.
WARNING: Keep your hands and clothing away
from cooling fans. Some fans operate even when
Model X is powered off.

WARNING: Some fluids (battery acid, Battery
coolant, brake fluid, windshield washer additives,
etc.) used in vehicles are poisonous and should not
be inhaled, swallowed, or brought into contact
with open wounds. For your safety, always read
and follow instructions printed on fluid containers.
