Wipers And Washers - Tesla MODEL Y 2012 Owner's Manual

Wipers
To perform a single wipe with the windshield wipers,
press and immediately release the button on the end of
the turn signal stalk. You can access the wiper settings
from the main Controls screen to adjust the speed of the
wipers:
I - Intermittent, slow
II - Intermittent, fast
III - Continuous, slow
IIII - Continuous, fast
Auto: Model Y detects whether or not it is raining. When
wipers are set to Auto and liquid is detected on the
windshield, Model Y determines the optimal frequency
at which they should wipe. If Model Y does not detect
liquid on the windshield, the wipers do not wipe.
For one-touch access to the wipers, you can add the
wiper control to My Apps. See
page 6.
NOTE: You can also adjust the windshield wiper speed
and frequency using voice commands (see
Commands on page 144).
CAUTION: Ensure the wipers are off before
washing Model Y to avoid the risk of damaging the
wipers.
Periodically check and clean the edge of the wiper
blades. If a blade is damaged, replace it immediately. For
details on checking and replacing wiper blades, see
Wiper Blades and Washer Jets on page
CAUTION: To avoid damaging the hood, ensure
that the hood is fully closed before using the
windshield wipers.
CAUTION: In harsh climates, ensure that the wiper
blades are not frozen or adhered to the windshield.
Remove ice from the windshield before using the
wipers. Ice has sharp edges that can damage the
rubber on the blades.
Windshield Washers
Fully press and hold the button on the end of the turn
signal stalk to spray washer fluid onto the windshield.
While spraying the windshield, the wipers turn on. After
releasing the button, the wipers perform two additional
wipes then, depending on vehicle and environmental
conditions, a third wipe a few seconds later.
