Climate Control Operating Tips; Cabin Air Filter - Tesla 3 2018 Owner's Manual

Operating Seat Heaters
To control the front seat heaters for the driver
and passenger, touch the corresponding
control on the main climate control area. To
control rear seat heaters, and access duplicate
controls for the front seat heaters, touch the
fan icon, touch the Seats tab, then touch the
seat for which you want to adjust heating.
Seat heaters operate at three setting levels
from 3 (highest) to 1 (lowest). When
operating, the associated seat icon displays
twisting lines that turn red to indicate the
setting level.

Climate Control Operating Tips

• You can direct the face-level vents toward
the windows to help defrost or defog
them.
• When you use the mobile app to turn on
the climate control system, it
automatically turns off after 30 minutes.
To cool or heat the cabin for a longer
period, you must turn it on again.
• 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.
• To ensure the climate control system
operates efficiently, close all windows and
ensure that the exterior grill in front of the
windshield is free of ice, snow, leaves, and
other debris.
• In very humid conditions, it is normal for
the windshield to fog slightly when you
first turn on the air conditioning.
• It is normal for a small pool of water to
form under Model 3 when parked. Extra
water produced by the dehumidifying
process is drained underneath.

Cabin Air Filter

Model 3 has an air filter that prevents pollen,
industrial fallout, road dust and other particles
from entering through the vents. The air filter
should be replaced when necessary. Contact
