Connecting to a Paired Phone
Model Y automatically connects to a phone that you
designated as
Priority Device on the Bluetooth settings
screen. If you have not set a phone as a priority,
Model Y
connects to the last phone to which is was connected, provided it is within operating range and has Bluetooth
turned on. If the last phone is not within range, it attempts to connect with the next phone that it has
been paired with.
To connect to a different phone, touch the Bluetooth
icon on the top of the touchscreen. The Bluetooth window displays a list of paired phones. Choose the phone you want to connect to, then touch
Connect. If
the phone you want to connect to is not listed, you must
pair the phone. See

Wi-Fi is available as a data connection method and is often faster than cellular data networks. Connecting to Wi-Fi is especially useful in areas with limited or no
cellular connectivity. To ensure fast, reliable delivery of software and map updates, Tesla recommends leaving your vehicle connected to a Wi-Fi network whenever
possible (for example, if parked in your garage
overnight).
To connect to a Wi-Fi network:
1.
Touch the cellular icon (usually LTE or 3G) on the top
corner of your touchscreen. Model Y begins to scan
and display detected Wi-Fi networks that are within
range.
NOTE: If a known Wi-Fi network does not appear in
the list, move your vehicle closer to the access point or consider using a range extender to reach your
vehicle.
2.
Select the Wi-Fi network you want to use, enter the password (if necessary), then touch
Confirm.
3.
Your vehicle connects to the Wi-Fi network. Whenever the network is within range,
Model Y

NOTE: The charge port automatically closes within
approximately 10 seconds of removing the connector from the charge port.CAUTION: Tesla strongly recommends leaving
Model Y plugged in when not in use. This
maintains the Battery at the optimum level of
charge.
CAUTION: Model Y does not shift out of Park if the
charge port is unable to determine whether a
charging cable is plugged in. Ensure any charging
cables are unplugged and follow the instructions
on the touchscreen to proceed (see Park on page
52).
Manually Releasing Charge Cable
If the usual methods for releasing a charge cable from the charge port (using the charge handle release button,
touchscreen, or mobile app) do not work, carefully
follow these steps:
1.
Ensure that Model Y is not actively charging by
displaying the charging screen on the touchscreen. If necessary, touch
Stop Charging.
2.
Open the rear trunk.
3.
Pull the charge port

Maintaining Tire Pressures
If you are not towing a trailer, keep tires inflated to the
pressures shown on the Tire and Loading Information label, even if it
differs from the pressure printed on the
tire itself. The Tire and Loading Information label is located on the center door pillar and is visible when the
front door is open.
If you are towing a trailer, do not use the tire pressures printed on the Tire and Loading Information Label.
Instead, refer to the tire pressures published in the towing topic
(see Towing and Accessories on page 74).
NOTE: If your Model Y is fitted with Tesla accessory
wheels or tires, some information may be
different from
the labels on the vehicle.
The Tire Pressure indicator light on the
touchscreen alerts you if one or more tires
is
under-inflated.
After inflating the tire to the recommended pressure,
you must drive over
15 mph (25 km/h) for a short
amount of time to activate the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS), which turns
off the Tire Pressure
indicator light.
If the indicator light flashes for one minute whenever
you power on
Model Y, a fault with the TPMS is detected
(see
TPMS Malfunction on page 170).
NOTE: Display tire pressures in the "Cards" area, located
toward the bottom on the left side of the touchscreen
,
as described in Touchscreen Overview on page 4. You
can also choose whether you want to display tire pressures using Bar or PSI by touching
Controls >
Display > Tire Pressure.
WARNING: Under-inflation is the most common
cause of tire failures and can cause a tire to
overheat, resulting in severe tire cracking, tread
separation, or blowout, which causes unexpected
loss of vehicle control and increased risk of injury.
Under-inflation also reduces the vehicle

Removing the Maintenance Panel
To check fluid levels, remove the maintenance panel:
1.
Open the hood.
2.
Pull the maintenance panel upward to release the clips that hold it in place.
3.
If checking the Battery coolant, remove the cabin intake trim panel by pulling it upwards to release the clips that hold it in place.
CAUTION: The maintenance panel protects the
front trunk from water. When re-attaching, make
sure it is fully seated.
Checking Battery Coolant
Your Battery coolant should not need to be replaced for
the life of your vehicle under most circumstances. However, if the quantity of
fluid in the cooling system
drops below the recommended level, the
touchscreen
displays a warning message. Stop driving Model Y as
soon as safety permits and contact Tesla.
Fluid Level Check
DO NOT REMOVE THE FILLER CAP AND DO NOT ADD
FLUID. Doing so can result in damage not covered by
the warranty.
Do Not Top Up Battery Coolant
WARNING: Battery coolant can be hazardous and
can irritate eyes and skin. Under no circumstances
should you remove the filler cap and/or add
coolant. If the touchscreen 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
specific mixture of G-48 ethylene-
glycol coolant (HOAT). Contact Tesla for more
specific

information about the coolant.
Checking Brake FluidWARNING: Contact Tesla immediately if you notice
increased movement of the brake pedal or a
significant loss of brake fluid. Driving under these
conditions can result in extended stopping
distances or complete brake failure.
A red brake indicator on the touchscreen
alerts you if the quantity of fluid in the
brake reservoir drops below the
recommended level. If it displays while driving, stop as soon as safety permits by
gently applying the brakes. Do not
continue driving. Contact Tesla
immediately.
Topping Up the Brake Fluid
Do not top up your brake fluid. The following
instructions are provided for information purposes and future reference only:
1.
Clean the filler cap before removing it to prevent dirt
from entering the reservoir.
2.
Unscrew the cap and remove it.
3.
Top up the reservoir to the MAX mark using the
appropriate brake
fluid.
4.
Replace the filler cap, ensuring it is fully secured.
WARNING: Only use new fluid from a sealed air-
tight container. Never use previously used fluid or
fluid from a previously opened container

DO NOT TRANSPORT WITH
WHEELS ON THE GROUND
The rear motor in Model Y generates power when the
wheels spin. Always transport
Model Y with all four tires
off the ground. Ensure that the tires are unable to spin at
any time during transport.
WARNING: NEVER TRANSPORT YOUR VEHICLE
WITH THE TIRES IN A POSITION WHERE THEY
CAN SPIN. DOING SO CAN LEAD TO SIGNIFICANT
DAMAGE AND OVERHEATING. IN RARE CASES
EXTREME OVERHEATING MAY CAUSE THE
SURROUNDING COMPONENTS TO IGNITE.
Do not transport Model Y using any method that is not
specified by Tesla. Adhere to the instructions provided in
the following sections and observe all warnings and
cautions provided. Damage caused by improper
transporting of your vehicle is not covered by the
warranty.
NOTE: Tesla is not liable or responsible for reimbursing
services not dispatched through Tesla Roadside Assistance.
Approved Methods for Transporting
NOTE: The tires are allowed to rotate slowly (under 3
mph or 5 km/h) and for a very short distance (less than
30 feet or 10 meters) only when Transport Mode is
enabled (see
Activate Transport Mode on page )
while the vehicle is being winched onto a
flatbed truck
or pulled out of a parking space for repositioning.
Exceeding these boundaries can lead to
significant

damage and overheating that is not covered by the
warranty.
A flatbed truck or comparable transport vehicle is the
recommended method of transporting
Model Y. The
vehicle can face either direction when using a
flatbed.
If Model Y must be transported without a flatbed truck,
then wheel lifts and dollies must be used to ensure that
all four wheels are
off of the ground. This method may
only be used for a maximum of
35 miles (55 km), and
must not exceed the manufacturer speed rating of the
dollies. With this method, Tesla recommends the vehicle
facing forward so that the front wheels are lifted and the rear wheels are on dollies.
CAUTION: Enable Transport Mode (see Activate
Transport Mode on page ) before winching
Model Y onto a flatbed truck (see Pull Onto
Flatbed Truck From Front on page and Pull
Onto Flatbed Truck From Rear on page ). If
Transport Mode is not available or the touchscreen
is not accessible, self-loading dollies or tire skates
must be used to load the vehicle into the approved
transportation position. Tesla is not responsible for
any damage caused by or during the transport of
Model Y, including personal property damage or
damage caused by using self-loading dollies or tire
skates.
WARNING: Model Y is equipped with high voltage
components that may be compromised as a result
of a collision (see High Voltage Components on
page 156). Before transporting Model Y, it is
important to assume these components are
energized. Always follow high voltage safety
precautions (wearing personal protection
equipment, etc.) until emergency response
professionals have evaluated the vehicle and can
accurately confirm that all high voltage systems
are no longer energized. Failure to do so may
result in serious injury.
Activate Transport Mode
Transport Mode keeps the parking brake disengaged
while winching
Model Y onto a flatbed truck. When
active, Transport Mode displays a message indicating that the vehicle will remain free-rolling. The following are
required to enable Transport Mode:

This is often a temporary issue that will clear up when condensation evaporates or a particular environmental
condition is no longer present.
If the alert does not clear by the end of your drive, inspect and clean the front camera area at the top center of the
windshield before your next planned drive. Check the camera surface for condensation, dirt, or other debris and
attempt to clear any obstruction. See the
About Autopilot on page 83 sections “How It Works” and “Cleaning
Cameras and Sensors” for more on front camera location and tips for careful cleaning.
Although condensation on the inside of the front camera enclosure cannot be wiped clean, you can usually clear it
quicker by following these steps:
1.
Pre-condition the cabin with the temperature set to High and A/C turned ON.
2.
Turn on the front windshield defroster.
Once all front cameras regain adequate visibility, the alert will clear and both Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and
Autosteer should again be available.
If this alert persists throughout subsequent drives but no front camera obstruction is visible, schedule service at your earliest convenience. Your vehicle is OK to drive in the meantime.
(APP_w224)
Cruise control unavailable
Continue driving to allow cameras to calibrate
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and Autosteer are unavailable because the cameras on your vehicle are not fully
calibrated. Continue to your destination. Your vehicle is OK to drive.
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and Autosteer will remain unavailable until camera calibration is complete.
Your vehicle must maneuver with great precision when features like Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and Autosteer are
active. Before these features can be used for the
first time, the cameras must complete an initial self-calibration.
Occasionally, one or more cameras can become uncalibrated.
For your convenience, a calibration progress indicator is displayed on the touchscreen. Calibration typically completes after your vehicle has driven 20-25 miles (32-40 km), but the distance varies depending on road and
environmental conditions. For example, driving on a straight road with highly visible lane markings helps the cameras calibrate quicker.
See Drive to Calibrate Cameras on page 84 for more information.
When calibration is complete, Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and Autosteer should be available.
If the alert persists and camera calibration has not completed after your vehicle has driven 100 miles (160 km) or
more, or
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and Autosteer remain unavailable despite successful camera calibration,
schedule service at your earliest convenience. Your vehicle is OK to drive in the meantime.
