phone TESLA MODEL 3 2019 (Europe) User Guide

Note: Your phone automatically disconnects
whenever you leave Model 3.
Note: Unpairing the phone has no effect on
using the phone as a key. To forget an
authenticated phone, see Keys on page 7.
Connecting to a Paired Phone
Model 3 automatically connects with the last
phone to which it was connected, provided it
is within operating range and has Bluetooth turned on. If the last phone is not within range,
it attempts to connect with the next phone
that it has been paired with.
To connect to a different phone, touch the
Bluetooth icon on the top of the touchscreen.
The Bluetooth window displays a list of paired
phones. Choose the phone you want to connect to, then touch Connect. If the phone
you want to connect to is not listed, you must
pair the phone. See Pairing a Bluetooth Phone
on page 114.
When connected, the Model 3 touchscreen displays the Bluetooth symbol next to thephone name to show that the connection is
active.

Charging Instructions
Opening the Charge Port The charge port is located on the left side of
Model 3, behind a door that is part of the rear
tail light assembly. Before charging, park
Model 3 to ensure that the charge cable easily reaches the charge port.
With Model 3 unlocked (or an authenticated
phone is within range) and in Park, press and
release the button on the Tesla charge cable
to open the charge port door.
You can also open the charge port door using
any of these methods:

Model 3 and using the touchscreen whileparked and plugged in, Model 3 draws energyfrom the wall outlet instead of the Battery.Caution: The connector end of the charge
cable can damage the paint if dropped
onto the vehicle.
During Charging
During charging, the charge port light (the Tesla "T" logo) pulses green, and thetouchscreen displays the charging status. The
frequency at which the charge port light
pulses slows down as the charge level
approaches full. When charging is complete,
the light stops pulsing and is solid green.
Note: If Model 3 is locked, the charge port
light does not light up.
If the charge port light turns red while
charging, a fault is detected. Check the
touchscreen for a message describing the
fault. A fault can occur due to something as
common as a power outage. If a power outage
occurs, charging resumes automatically when
power is restored.
Note: When charging, particularly at high
currents, the refrigerant compressor and fan
operate as needed to keep the Battery cool.
Therefore, it is normal to hear sounds during
charging.
Note: Air conditioning performance is
generally not affected by charging. However,
under certain circumstances (for example, you
are charging at high currents during a
particularly warm day), the air coming from
the vents may not be as cool as expected and
a message displays on the touchscreen. This is
normal behavior and ensures that the Battery stays within an optimum temperature range
while charging to support longevity and optimum performance.
Warning: Never spray liquid at a high
velocity (for example, if using a pressure
washer) towards the charge port while
charging. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in serious injury or
damage to the vehicle, charging
equipment, or property.
Stopping Charging
Stop charging at any time by disconnecting
the charge cable or touching Stop Charging
on the touchscreen.
Note: To prevent unauthorized unplugging of
the charge cable, the charge cable latch
remains locked and Model 3 must be unlocked or able to recognize your authenticated phone
before you can disconnect the charge cable.
To disconnect the charge cable:
1. Press and hold the button on a Tesla
connector to release the latch. You can
also touch Stop Charging on the
touchscreen (see Charging Status and
Settings on page 128).
2. Pull the connector from the charge port.
Note: The charge port automatically closes
within approximately 10 seconds of removing the connector from the charge port.Caution: Tesla strongly recommends
leaving Model 3 plugged in when not in use. This maintains the Battery at the
optimum level of charge.
Manually Releasing Charge Cable
If the usual methods for releasing a charge
cable from the charge port (using the charge
handle release button, touchscreen, or mobile
app) do not work, carefully follow these steps:
1. Ensure that Model 3 is not actively
charging by displaying the charging
screen on the touchscreen. If necessary,
touch Stop Charging .
2. Open the rear trunk.
3. Pull the charge port
