3.Follow the onscreen instructions.Caution: Selecting the incorrect wheel
size may result in false tire pressure
warnings. If a tire pressure warning
displays, exit the vehicle, close the
rear trunk and all doors, wait for the
touchscreen to go black, then re-
enter the vehicle and ensure that the
correct wheel size is selected before
touching Reset TPMS .
Note: On some older versions of Model S,
when changing to 21" wheels, the TPMS may
generate false tire pressure warnings. Bring
Model S to a Tesla Service Center for further
adjustment.
Warning: Do not reset the TPMS sensors
in an attempt to clear tire pressure
warnings.
Replacing a Tire Sensor
If the Tire Pressure warning indicator displays frequently, contact Tesla to determine if a tire
sensor needs to be replaced. If a non-Tesla Service Center repairs or replaces a tire, the
tire sensor may not work until Tesla performs
the setup procedure.

Seasonal Tire Types
Summer Tires
Your vehicle may be originally equipped with high performance summer tires or all seasontires. Tesla recommends using winter tires if
driving in cold temperatures or on roads
where snow or ice may be present. Contact
Tesla for winter tire recommendations.Warning: In cold temperatures or on snow
or ice, summer tires do not provide
adequate traction. Selecting and installing the appropriate tires for winter conditions
is important to ensure the safety and
optimum performance of your Model S.
All-Season Tires
Your Model S may be originally equipped with
all-season tires. These tires are designed to
provide adequate traction in most conditions
year-round, but may not provide the same level of traction as winter tires in snowy or icy
conditions. All-season tires can be identified
by “ALL SEASON" and/or "M+S” (mud and
snow) on the tire sidewall.
Winter Tires
Use winter tires to increase traction in snowy
or icy conditions. When installing winter tires,
always install a complete set of four tires at
the same time. Winter tires must be the same
diameter, brand, construction and tread pattern on all four wheels. Contact Tesla for
winter tire recommendations.
Winter tires can be identified by a
mountain/snow
