Seat Heaters
All seats contain heating pads. In addition,
both front seats are ventilated. You can control seat heaters in all seating positions using the touchscreen.
WARNING: To avoid burns resulting from prolonged use, individuals who have peripheral neuropathy, or whose capacity to feel pain is limited because of diabetes, age, neurological injury, or some other condition, should exercise caution when using the climate control system and seat heaters.
Seat Covers
WARNING: Do not use seat covers in Model S. Doing so could restrict deployment of the seat-mounted side air bags if a collision occurs. Seat covers can also interfere with the occupant detection system that is used to determine the status of the passenger front airbag.

When you cancel Valet mode, all settings associated with the most recently used driver
profile and climate control settings are
restored, and all features are available.
NOTE: You do not need to enter a PIN to
cancel Valet mode from the mobile app.

IndicatorDescriptionA blue snowflake appears
when some of the energy
stored in the Battery may
not be available due to
cold weather conditions.
During these cold weather
conditions, charging rates
may also be limited. If
Model S is plugged in, you
can heat your Battery by
turning on climate control
with the mobile app. The
snowflake disappears
when the Battery is
sufficiently warm.
Vehicle power is currently
being limited because the
energy remaining in the
Battery is low, the

NOTE: You can also prevent the occurrence of
a charge port latch freezing in place by using the
Schedule settings, available on both the
charging and climate control screens, to set a
departure time and precondition
Model S before that time (see Scheduled Charging and Scheduled Departure on page 184).
NOTE: If your charge port latch is frozen in
place, it may not lock the charging cable in
place when inserted, but it can still charge at
a slow AC rate even if the latch is not
engaged.
Storage
If you leave Model S parked for an extended
period of time, plug it into a charger to
prevent normal range loss and to keep the
Battery at an optimal temperature. Your
vehicle is safe to stay plugged in for any length of time.
When not in use, Model S enters a sleep mode
to conserve energy. Reduce the number of times you check your vehicle

Overview of Climate Controls
Climate controls are available at the bottom of the touchscreen. To turn the climate control
system on, touch the temperature icon. To turn it off, touch and hold the temperature or touch
the temperature icon to display the climate control popup, then touch the power button.
By default, climate control is set to Auto, which maintains optimum comfort in all but the most
severe weather conditions. When you adjust the cabin temperature in the Auto setting, the
system automatically adjusts the heating, air conditioning, air distribution, and fan speed to maintain the cabin at your selected temperature. Touch and hold the temperature to customize
settings in the climate control popup window. You can revert back to Auto at any time by
touching
Auto.
NOTE: The climate control system is powered by the high voltage Battery. Therefore, prolonged
use decreases driving range.
WARNING: To avoid burns resulting from prolonged use, individuals who have peripheral neuropathy, or whose capacity to feel pain is limited because of diabetes, age, neurological injury, or some other condition, should exercise caution when using the climate control system and seat heaters.
Adjusting Climate Control Settings
To override the Auto setting, touch the temperature, turn off the Auto setting, then adjust
settings by touching the icons that are no longer grayed out.
1.
Touch to turn the climate control system on or off.
2.
The fan tab contains settings to adjust the front fan and climate settings.
3.
Choose where air flows into the front cabin (windshield, face-level, or foot-level vents). You
can choose more than one location.
NOTE: When air is directed to the foot-level vents, air continues to flow to the windshield
vents to assist in defogging. When air is directed to the face-level vents, air does not flow to
the windshield.

16. Touch to warm up the rear window. When operating, the icon turns red. After 15 minutes, the
rear window defroster automatically turns off. The exterior side mirrors are also heated
whenever the rear window defroster is operating.
17.
The windshield defroster distributes air flow to the windshield. Touch once to defog the
windshield (the icon turns blue). Touch a second time to defrost the windshield (the icon
turns red and the heating and fan operate at maximum levels). Touch a third time to turn off
and restore the air distribution, heating, and fan to their previous settings. In cold ambient temperatures, the exterior side mirrors are also heated whenever the windshield defroster is operating. See Cold Weather Best Practices on page 81 for more information on preparing
for cold weather.

Using the touchscreens, you can pinpoint exactly where you want to direct the air flowing from
this vent when heating or cooling the cabin. When the face-level vent is on you can adjust the
direction of the air
flow from each vent. To adjust the direction of the air flow, touch the
radiating air waves from the corresponding vent on the touchscreen. The air flows in a single
stream when centered or splits into mirrored air streams when air is directed outward or inward
from the center of the vent.

NOTE: When you split a vent into two separate air flows, the air flow in each direction is not as
strong as when all air is flowing in a single direction.
NOTE: Outside air is drawn into Model S through the grill in front of the windshield. Keep the
grill clear of obstructions, such as leaves and snow.
Keep Climate On, Dog Mode,
and Camp Mode
The Keep Climate On, Dog, and Camp settings allow you to keep the climate control
system running when in Park, even after you
