Restricted Roads
Autosteer is intended for use on freeways and highways where access is limited by entry and
exit ramps. When using Autosteer on residential roads, a road without a centerdivider, or a road where access is not limited,
Autosteer limits the driving speed. The
maximum driving speed is calculated based
on the detected speed limit plus 5 mph (10 km/h). In situations where the speed limit
can not be detected, speed is limited to 45 mph (70 km/h). When Autosteer is
engaged on a restricted road, it reduces the
speed to be within these limits, even if the set
cruising speed is higher. The instrument panel
displays a message indicating that you are
driving on a restricted road. You can manually accelerate to exceed the limited speed, but
when you release the accelerator pedal,
Autosteer slows Model S to the limited speed.
When you leave the restricted road, or
disengage Autosteer by using the steering wheel, Model S resumes cruising at the set
speed.
Hold Steering Wheel Autosteer uses data from the camera, sensors,and GPS system to determine where to drive.
It also requires you to hold the steering wheel.
When entering a curve or driving at a high
speed, if Autosteer does not detect your
hands on the steering wheel, it displays the
following message on the instrument panel and eventually sounds a chime:
When you see this message, you may need totighten your grip on the steering wheel. When
your hands are detected, Autosteer resumes normal operation.
Note: Be careful not to apply any steering.
Doing so cancels Autosteer.
If Autosteer does not detect your hands on
the steering wheel, the Hold Steering Wheel
request escalates by sounding two additional chimes. The chimes increase in frequency until
Autosteer detects your hands. If no action is
taken, Autosteer begins to decelerate Model S
and displays the following message on the
instrument panel:
Autosteer will eventually decelerate Model S
to a full stop and then turn on the hazard
warning
flashers.
Take Over Immediately
In situations where Autosteer is unable to steer Model S, Autosteer sounds a warningchime and displays the following message on
the instrument panel:
When you see this message, TAKE OVER STEERING IMMEDIATELY.
Canceling Autosteer Autosteer cancels when:

Removing the Maintenance Panel
To access fuses and check
fluid levels, remove
the maintenance panel:
1. Pull the rear edge of the maintenance panel upward to release the
five clips that
hold the panel in place.
2. Maneuver the maintenance panel toward the windshield to remove.
Caution: The maintenance panel protects
the front trunk from water. When re-
attaching, make sure it is fully seated.Checking Battery Coolant
If the quantity of
fluid in the cooling system
drops below the recommended level, the
instrument panel displays a warning message.
Stop Model S as soon as safety permits and
contact Tesla.
Fluid Level Check
Tesla checks the Battery coolant level at the
regularly scheduled maintenance intervals. On a single motor Model S, you can check it
yourself. To do so, park Model S on level
ground. When Model S is cool, remove the
maintenance panel (see Removing the
Maintenance Panel on page 149).
Check the fluid level visually by looking at the
outside marks on the side of the reservoir. DO
NOT REMOVE THE FILLER CAP AND DO NOT
ADD FLUID. Doing so can result in damage
not covered by the warranty.
The
fluid level should be between the MIN and
the MAX marks. If you notice that the fluidlevel has dropped significantly, contact Tesla
before using Model S.
Topping Up the Battery Coolant
Under no circumstances should you add
coolant. If the instrument panel warns you that
the
fluid level is low, contact Tesla
immediately.
To maximize the performance and life of the Battery, the cooling system uses a
specifictype of G-48 ethylene-glycol coolant (HOAT).
Contact Tesla for more specific information
about the coolant.
Fluid Reservoirs
Maintenance149

Topping Up Washer Fluid
The only reservoir into which you can add
fluidis the washer fluid reservoir located under the
front trunk. When the level is low, a message
displays on the instrument panel.
Do not use formulated washer
fluids that
contain water repellent or bug wash. These
fluids can cause streaking, smearing, and
squeaking or other noises.
Operate the washers periodically to check that
the nozzles are clear and properly directed.
To top up washer
fluid:
1. Clean the filler cap before opening to
prevent dirt from entering the reservoir.
2. Open the
filler cap.
3. Fill the reservoir until the fluid level is
visible just below the filler neck.
4. Replace the filler cap.
Note: Some national or local regulations
restrict the use of Volatile Organic
Compounds (VOCs). VOCs are commonly
used as antifreeze 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 Model S.
Caution: Under no circumstances do you
need to inspect or top up other fluidreservoirs. Two additional fluid reservoirs
are located next to the washer fluid, but
underneath the maintenance panel. In the
unlikely event that you see a message on the instrument panel that one of these
fluid levels is low, stop Model S as soon as
safe to do so, and contact Tesla.
Caution: Do not spill washer fluid on body
panels. Doing so can cause damage. Wipe
up spills immediately and wash the
affected area with water.
Warning: In temperatures below
40
