Climate Controls - Tesla 3 2018 Owner's Manual

Customizing Climate Control
To override the Auto setting, touch the fan icon then manually change any of the settings in the
popup that appears.
1. Touch AUTO to change all settings back to the Auto settings.
2. Touch to turn the windshield vents on or off.
3. Touch to turn the face-level vent on or off.
Note: When you turn on the face-level vent, you can use the grid on each side of the climate
control settings window to specify how you want the face-level vent to direct air flow (see
Operating the Face-Level Vent
4. Touch to turn the foot-level vents on or off.
Note: When air is directed to the foot-level vents, air continues to flow to the windshield vents
to assist in defogging. When air is directed to the face-level vents, no air flows to the
windshield.
5. Touch + or - to increase or decrease the speed of the fan.
Note: Adjusting the fan speed may change the selected setting for how air is drawn into
Model 3 in order to increase or reduce air flow.
6. Touch to turn the climate control system off.
7. Touch to turn air flow to the rear cabin area on or off. When on, air flows from the vent
located at the back of the center console.
8. Touch to choose how air is drawn into Model 3. If on, air inside Model 3 is recirculated. If off,
outside air is drawn into Model 3.
9. Touch to turn the air conditioning system on or off. Turning it off reduces cooling, but saves
energy.
Note: Because Model 3 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.
10. If equipped with the premium package, touch Seats to access controls for both front and rear
seat heaters (see
