Climate Controls
Keep Climate On, Dog
Mode, and Camp Mode
The Keep Climate On, Dog, and Camp
settings allow you to keep the climate control
system running when in Park, even after
you've left Model 3 or choose to stay inside
the vehicle. These settings are useful when it
is important to maintain the cabin
temperature in hot or cold weather
conditions. For example, when leaving
groceries in Model 3 on hot days, you may
want to use Keep Climate On to prevent
spoilage.
Dog mode keeps your pet comfortable while
also displaying the current cabin temperature
on the touchscreen so people nearby are
informed that your pet does not need to be
rescued.
Camp Mode allows you to power electronics
through the USB ports and 12V outlet in
addition to maintaining the cabin
temperature. The touchscreen remains on so
you can play music, browse the internet, play
games in the arcade, or watch shows in Tesla
Theater. You can also control media and
climate settings from a paired phone. Camp
Mode is ideal for remaining inside your
vehicle, such as camping or staying with a
child.
NOTE: In Camp Mode, Sentry Mode and the
vehicle alarm system are disabled.
To operate Keep Climate On, Dog Mode, or
Camp Mode:
1. Engage the Park gear. The Keep Climate
On, Dog, and Camp settings are available
only when Model 3 is in Park.
2. If necessary, adjust the climate settings.
3. Touch the fan icon then touch Keep
Climate On, Dog, or Camp.
NOTE: To initiate Keep Climate On, Dog
Mode, or Camp Mode, the Battery's charge
level must be at least 20%.
The climate control system maintains your
climate settings until you shift out of Park or
manually turn it off. If the Battery's charge
level drops below 20%, the Tesla mobile app
repeatedly starts sending you notifications
reminding you to check on anything that you
have left in Model 3.

The next time you drive Model 3, the climate
control system continues operating using the
previous climate settings from your most
recent trip.
NOTE: Software updates cannot be
performed when Keep Climate On, Dog Mode,
or Camp Mode is active.
NOTE: The intrusion sensor (if equipped)
automatically disables when Keep Climate On,
Dog Mode, or Camp Mode is active. However,
you can override this behavior and keep the
intrusion sensor enabled. To do so, touch
Controls > Safety & Security > Tilt/Intrusion
after enabling Keep Climate On, Dog mode,
or Camp mode. However, note that keeping
the intrusion sensor enabled while Keep
Climate On, Dog Mode, and Camp Mode is
active can trigger an alarm event as a result
of air movement inside the cabin.
WARNING: You can adjust 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
Mode, and Camp Mode stop
operating.
WARNING: Avoid using Keep Climate
On, Dog Mode, or Camp Mode when
the battery charge is low. When
leaving a dog or pet in Model 3, you
must ensure that you have your phone
with you and that the Tesla mobile
app is running. This allows you to
proactively monitor the cabin
temperature. To ensure the safety and
comfort of anyone or anything in your
vehicle, always make sure you have
adequate cellular coverage to receive
notifications and allow enough time to
return to Model 3 should the climate
control system stop operating—on hot
days, the cabin temperature can
become dangerously high within a few
minutes.
WARNING: Check local laws for any
restrictions on leaving pets
unattended in your vehicle.
WARNING: Never leave a child
unattended in your vehicle.
