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.
18.
Touch Auto to turn the Auto setting on or off.

137Using the Touchscreen

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

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 the 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 > Safety > Security Alarm. When enabled, Model S activates its
alarm one minute after you exit, the doors
lock, and a recognized key is no longer
detected.
A battery-backed siren sounds in situations where a locked door or trunk is opened and
Model S does not detect a key nearby (if
equipped). If you also want this siren to sound
in situations where
Model S detects motion
inside the cabin, or is moved or tilted (for
example, with a tow truck or jack), turn on the
Tilt/Intrusion setting (touch Controls > Safety > Tilt/Intrusion) (if equipped).
NOTE: If you plan to leave something that
moves inside your locked Model S, remember
to turn off Tilt/Intrusion. If this setting is on,
any motion detected inside Model S activates
the intrusion alarm.
NOTE: If Model S is in Sentry Mode (see Sentry Mode on page 162), you must disable
Sentry Mode before you can disable the
Security alarm or the Tilt/Intrusion alarm.
NOTE: The Security Alarm must be on to
enable Tilt/Intrusion.
NOTE: The Intrusion Sensor automatically
disables in situations where the climate
control system is operating when you have
left your vehicle (see
Keep Climate On, Dog Mode, and Camp Mode on page 139). To
override, you can manually turn the Intrusion
Sensor on again after choosing Keep Climate On, Dog, or Camp Mode (touch
Controls > Safety > Tilt/Intrusion).
If your Model S is equipped with the
Enhanced Anti-Theft upgrade, the horn
sounds in situations where a locked door or trunk is opened and
Model S does not detect
a key nearby. If the Tilt/Intrusion setting is on,
the horn also sounds if Model S detects
motion inside the cabin, or if the vehicle is moved or tilted (for example, with a tow truck
or jack). To turn the Tilt/Intrusion detection system on or
off, touch Controls > Safety > Tilt/Intrusion.
PIN to Drive
To increase security, you can prevent Model S from being driven until a 4-digit PIN (Personal Identification Number) is entered. To enable
this setting, touch Controls > Safety > PIN to Drive and follow the on-screen prompts to
create a driving PIN.
NOTE: When enabled, in addition to entering
the 4-digit driving PIN to drive, you must also
use it to enter Valet mode for the
first time
and create the 4-digit valet PIN that you can
use to enter and exit Valet mode. When in
Valet mode,
Model S can be driven without
the need for the valet to enter a driving PIN.
In addition, the
PIN to Drive setting is
disabled whenever Valet mode is active.
If you forget your driving PIN, or to disable PIN to Drive, return to this setting, touch the
link to enter your Tesla login credentials, then
follow the on-screen prompts.
NOTE: In the unlikely event that your
touchscreen is unresponsive, you may be
unable to enter the PIN. In this case,
first try
to restart the touchscreen (see Restarting the Touchscreen on page 52). If the touchscreen
is still unresponsive, you can still bypass PIN
to Drive by turning on Keyless Driving in the
Tesla mobile app.
Glovebox PIN
For additional security, you can protect the contents in your glovebox with a 4-digit PIN. To enable this setting, touch
Controls > Safety > Glovebox PIN and follow the on-
screen prompts. When enabled, you are
prompted to enter the PIN to open the
glovebox. To disable this setting, select the
toggle to disable and then enter the PIN.
If you forget your glovebox PIN, reset it by
entering your Tesla login credentials, then
follow the on-screen prompts.
NOTE: When you open the glovebox with
both Glovebox PIN and Valet mode enabled,
you are prompted for the glovebox PIN and taken out of Valet mode after the glovebox
opens.
