airbag TESLA MODEL S 2014 (Europe) User Guide

Touchscreen - Settings
USING THE TOUCHSCREEN5.7 1.Adjust settings associated with installed
apps (applications). Apps that have no
settings that you can adjust at this time are
grayed out.
2.Create driver profiles (see page 4.2)
3.Language & Units
Adjust how Model S displays:
•Language: Set the language used when
Model S displays alerts, notification
messages, and navigation instructions (if
equipped).
NOTE: When you change the language,
you experience a brief delay as Model S
shuts down and restarts the touchscreen.
•Region: Choose a region to define the
formatting convention used to display
dates (mm dd yy/dd-mm-yy, etc) and
decimal separators (5.123, 5,123, etc).
•Distance: Miles or kms can be shown on
the range display, speedometer, energy
chart, trip meters, Google map searches
and navigation routes.
•Time: 12 or 24 hour format.
•Temperature:
oF or oC.
•Charging Units: Display energy (kWh) or
distance (miles/kms).
•Range: Rated range (based on ECE R101
testing), or Ideal range (based on the
assumption of driving in ideal conditions
at a steady speed of 89 km/h on a flat
road, and using no additional energy
(seat heaters, air conditioning, etc).
4.Ve h i c l e
•Drive-away Door Lock: If on, all doors
automatically lock whenever you drive
Model S over 8 km/h (see page 2.5).
•Walk-away Door Lock: If on, all doors
automatically lock when you walk away
from Model S, carrying the key with you
(see page 2.5). Available only if Model S is
equipped with the optional tech package.
•Child-Protection Locks: If on, safety locks
prevent the rear doors and the liftgate
from being opened from inside Model S.
•Auto-Present Handles: If on, door handles
extend automatically whenever you
approach Model S carrying a key,
whether locked or unlocked (see
page 2.4.•Mirror Auto-Tilt: If on, exterior mirrors tilt
downward when reversing (see
page 4.5). Available only if Model S is
equipped with the optional tech package.
•Headlights After Exit: If on, headlights
stay on for two minutes after you exit, or
until you lock Model S (see page 4.13).
•Range Mode: If on, Model S conserves
energy by limiting the power of the
climate control system. Cabin heating and
cooling may be less effective.
5.Safety & Security
Turn various safety and security features on
and off:
•Passenger Airbag (see page 3.17).
•Alarm, and security options Model S is
equipped with (see page 5.22).
•Remote access by Tesla’s mobile
applications (see page 5.25).
6.HomeLink
Use HomeLink to control RF-enabled
garage doors, lights, or security systems
(see page 5.23).
WARNING: Do not read the touchscreen
while driving. Doing so increases the
likelihood of a collision. Everything you need to
know when driving is displayed on the
instrument panel.

Cleaning
MAINTENANCE7.13
Cleaning the Interior
Frequently inspect and clean the interior to
maintain its appearance and to prevent
premature wear. If possible, immediately wipe
up spills and remove marks. For general
cleaning, wipe interior surfaces using a soft
cloth (such as micro fiber) dampened with a
mixture of warm water and mild non-detergent
cleaner (test all cleaners on a concealed area
before use). To avoid streaks, dry immediately
with a soft lint-free cloth.
Interior Glass
Do not scrape, or use any abrasive cleaning
fluid on glass or mirrored surfaces. This can
damage the reflective surface of the mirror and
the heating elements in the rear window.
Airbags
Do not allow any substance to enter an airbag
cover. This could affect correct operation.
Dashboard and Plastic Surfaces
Do not polish the upper surfaces of the
dashboard. Polished surfaces are reflective and
could interfere with your driving view.
Leather Seats
Leather is prone to dye-transfer which can
cause discoloration, particularly on light
colored leather. White and tan leather is coated
with an anti-soiling treatment. Wipe spills as
soon as possible using a soft cloth moistened
with warm water and non-detergent soap.
Wipe gently in a circular motion. Then wipe dry
using a soft, lint-free cloth. Using detergents or
commercially available leather cleaners and
conditioners is not recommended because they
can discolor or dry out the leather.
Cloth Seats
Wipe spills as soon as possible using a soft
cloth moistened with warm water and
non-detergent soap. Wipe gently in a circular
motion. Then wipe dry using a soft, lint-free
cloth. Vacuum the seats as needed to remove
any loose dirt.
Carpets
Avoid over-wetting carpets. For heavily soiled
areas, use a diluted upholstery cleaner.
Seat Belts
Extend the belts to wipe. Do not use any type
of detergent or chemical cleaning agent. Allow
the belts to dry naturally while extended,
preferably away from direct sunlight.
Tesla Built In Rear Facing Child Seats
Vacuum the seats to remove any loose dirt.
Wipe the seats with a soft cloth dampened with
warm water. You can also use an upholstery
cleaner designer for automotive use. Extend
the belts to wipe. Allow the belts to dry
naturally, preferably away from direct sunlight.
Touchscreen and Instrument Panel
Clean the touchscreen and instrument panel
using a soft lint-free cloth specifically designed
to clean monitors and displays. Do not use
cleaners (such as a glass cleaner) and do not
use a wet wipe or a dry statically-charged cloth
(such as a recently washed microfiber).
Chrome and Metal Surfaces
Polish, abrasive cleaners or hard cloths can
damage the finish on chrome and metal
surfaces.
Cautions for Interior Cleaning
WARNING: If you notice any damage on
an airbag or seat belt, contact Tesla
immediately.
WARNING: Do not allow any water,
cleaners, or fabric to enter a seat belt
mechanism.
CAUTION: Using solvents (including
alcohol), bleach, citrus, naphtha, or
silicone based products or additives on
interior components can cause damage.
