Windshield Wiper Blade, Jets And Fluid - Tesla CYBERTRUCK Owner's Manual

Topping Up Windshield Washer
Fluid
The only reservoir into which you can add fluid is the
windshield washer fluid reservoir, which is located
behind the powered frunk liner. When the level is low, a
message displays on the touchscreen.
To top up the washer fluid:
1. Open the powered frunk.
2. Use a microfiber cloth to clean around the filler cap
before opening it to prevent dirt from entering the
reservoir.
3. Open the filler cap.
4. While avoiding spilling, fill the reservoir until the fluid
level is visible just below the filler neck. The reservoir
has a total capacity of 4.2 liters.
5. Wipe up any spills immediately and wash the
affected area with water.
6. Close the filler cap.
CAUTION: Some national or local regulations
restrict the use of Volatile Organic Compounds
(VOCs). VOCs are commonly used as freeze
protection in washer fluid. Use a washer fluid with
limited VOC content only if it provides adequate
freeze resistance for all climates in which you drive
Cybertruck.
CAUTION: Use only ethanol-based windshield
washer fluid meant for automotive vehicles. Using
other substances, such as untreated water, can
result in bacterial growth within the climate control
system resulting in odor or potential damage that
is not covered by warranty. Untreated pure water
expands to ice when freezing, which may result in
damage.
CAUTION: Do not add formulated washer fluids
that contain water repellent or bug wash. These
fluids can cause streaking, smearing, and
squeaking or other noises.
Maintenance

Windshield Wiper Blade, Jets and Fluid

WARNING: In temperatures below -32° F (0° C),
use a washer fluid with antifreeze. In cold weather,
using a washer fluid without antifreeze can impair
visibility through the windshield.
WARNING: Windshield washer fluid can irritate
eyes and skin. Read and observe the instructions
provided by the washer fluid manufacturer.
Cleaning the Wiper Blade
Periodically clean the edge of the wiper blade and check
the rubber for cracks, splits, and roughness. If damaged,
replace the blade immediately to prevent damage to the
glass and improve visibility.
Contaminants on the windshield or wiper blade can
reduce the effectiveness of the wiper. Contaminants
include ice, wax spray from car washes, washer fluid
with bug and/or water repellent, bird droppings, tree
sap, and other organic substances.
Follow these guidelines for cleaning:
1. Lift the wiper arm a short distance away from the
windshield, just far enough to access the wiper blade.
Do not lift the wiper arm beyond its intended
position.
2. Place a towel between the wiper arm and windshield
to avoid scratching or cracking the windshield.
3. Clean the windshield and wiper blade using washer
fluid or non-abrasive glass cleaner approved for use
on automotive glass and rubber.
CAUTION: Inappropriate products can cause
damage or smears and create glare on the
windshield.
4. Gently place the wiper blade back onto the
windshield.
5. Test the wiper blade again. If the wiper remains
ineffective after cleaning, replace the wiper blade.
Replacing the Wiper Blade
For optimum performance, replace the wiper blade at
least once a year. You can purchase a replacement wiper
blade on the Tesla Shop.
CAUTION: Only install a replacement blade that is
identical to the original blade. Using an
inappropriate blade can damage the wiper system
and windshield.
To replace the wiper blade:
1. Shift into Park and turn off the wiper. Ensure the
wiper setting is Off and not in Auto, because the
wiper blade may still sweep if there is any liquid
detected on the windshield.
