About the Security System
If Model S does not detect a key nearby and a
locked door or trunk is opened, an alarm sounds and headlights and turn signals
flash.To deactivate the alarm, press any button on the key.
To manually enable or disable the alarm
system, touch Controls > Settings > Safety &
Security > Alarm . When set to on, Model S
activates its alarm one minute after the doors
lock and a recognized key is no longer
detected nearby.
If Model S is equipped with the optional
security package, it includes a battery-backed
siren that sounds instead of the horn in situations where a locked door or trunk isopened and Model S does not detect a key
nearby. If the Tilt/Intrusion setting is on, the siren also sounds if Model S detects motioninside the cabin, a window is broken, or if it is
moved or tilted (for example, with a tow truck
or jack). To turn the tilt/ intrusion detection systems on or
off, touch Controls > Settings
> Safety & Security > Tilt/Intrusion .
Note: If you plan to leave something that
moves, such as a dog, inside your locked
Model S, remember to turn
off the tilt/
intrusion system. Any type of motion detected
inside Model S activates the siren.
Note: To turn on Tilt/Intrusion, the Alarm must
be ON.

Removing the Maintenance Panel
To 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 154).
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
Warning: Battery coolant can be
hazardous and can irritate eyes and skin.
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
154Model S Owner

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

Load Capacity LabelingIt is important to understand how much
weight your Model S can safely carry. This weight is called the vehicle capacity weight
and includes the weight of all occupants,
cargo and any additional equipment added to your Model S since it was manufactured.
There are two labels attached to Model S that
state how much weight it can safely carry.
These labels are located on the center door
pillar and are visible when the front door is
open:
1. Tire and Loading Information label
2. Statutory Plate
