12V battery TESLA MODEL Y 2022 Owner´s Manual

NOTE: Applying external 12V power to these
terminals only releases the hood latches. You cannot
charge the 12V battery using these terminals.6.
Turn on the external power supply (refer to the manufacturer

NOTE: Power is available whenever the vehicle is
considered "awake". The vehicle may be awake for many
reasons. For example, when using features such as
Summon, or when features such as Preconditioning,
Keep Climate On, Dog Mode, Camp Mode,
Sentry Mode,
etc. are enabled. The vehicle is also awake whenever the 12V battery is being charged or is in use, during HV charging, when the vehicle is communicating with the mobile app, etc. Leaving an accessory plugged in does not deplete the 12V battery.
NOTE: Use USB 3.0 compliant cables to connect a
device to a USB port. Using non-compliant cables can result in slower charging, potential connection problems or degraded performance.
NOTE: Do not connect multiple devices using a USB
hub. This can prevent connected devices from charging or from being recognized by Media Player
, Sentry Mode,
Dashcam, etc.
Wireless Phone Charger
A wireless phone charger is integrated into the front
console to provide up to 15W of power to charge a Qi- enabled phone. Simply place your phone on the charger. Your device may feel warm while charging, but this is a normal
effect of inductive charging.
When placed on the wireless charger, your phone
charges whenever the vehicle is powered on (the
touchscreen is on and you are in the vehicle). Your phone will not charge after exiting the vehicle
unless a
feature (such as Sentry mode) is enabled and therefore
providing power to the USB ports (see Sentry Mode on
page 145). Model Y will also not charge a phone if the
vehicle

Camp Mode allows you to power electronics through the
USB ports and 12V outlet in addition to maintaining the cabin temperature. The touchscreen remains on so you
can play music, browse the internet, play games in the arcade, or watch shows in Tesla Theater. You can also
control media and climate settings from a paired phone. Camp Mode is ideal for remaining inside your vehicle,
such as camping or staying with a child.
NOTE: In Camp Mode, Sentry Mode and the vehicle
alarm system are disabled.
NOTE: Depending on vehicle configuration or market
region, Entertainment, Arcade, and/or Theater may not be available on your vehicle.
To operate Keep Climate On, Dog Mode, or Camp Mode:
1.
Engage the Park gear. The Keep Climate On, Dog,
and
Camp settings are available only when Model Y is
in Park.
2.
If necessary, adjust the climate settings.
3.
Touch the fan icon then touch Keep Climate On, Dog,
or
Camp.
NOTE: To initiate Keep Climate On, Dog Mode, or Camp
Mode, the Battery

About the Battery
Model Y has one of the most sophisticated battery
systems in the world. The most important way to preserve the Battery is to
LEAVE YOUR VEHICLE
PLUGGED IN when you are not using it. This is
particularly important if you are not planning to drive
Model Y for several weeks.
NOTE: When left idle and unplugged, your vehicle
periodically uses energy from the Battery for system
tests and recharging the 12V battery when necessary.
There is no advantage to waiting until the Battery

2. Remove the maintenance panel by pulling it upwards to release the trim clips that hold it in place.3.
If equipped with a HEPA filter, carefully fold the HEPA
filter gasket towards the front of the vehicle to gain
access to the 12V battery.
NOTE: Space to access the 12V battery is limited.
Consider removing the push clips from the rear cowl
to improve accessibility.
4.
Connect the 12V power supply

If the outlet is worn, it should be replaced with a high-quality outlet. Consider upgrading to a Tesla Wall Connector
for greater convenience and highest charging speed.
(UMC_a017)
Charge rate reduced - Wall plug temperature high
Wall outlet and wiring inspection recommended
High temperature detected by Mobile Connector alerts indicate the outlet used to charge is becoming too warm, so
charging has been slowed to protect the outlet.
This is not typically an issue with your vehicle or your Mobile Connector, but rather an issue with the outlet. A warm outlet may be caused by a plug that is not fully inserted, a loose building wiring connection to the outlet, or an outlet that is beginning to wear out.
To regain normal charge speed, make sure your adapter is fully plugged into the outlet. If charging speed does not
return to normal, contact an electrician to inspect the outlet and building wiring connections to the outlet and
complete any repairs needed.
If the outlet is worn, it should be replaced with a high-quality outlet. Consider upgrading to a Tesla Wall Connector
for greater convenience and highest charging speed.
(VCFRONT_a180)
Electrical system power reduced
Vehicle may shut down unexpectedly
The electrical system cannot maintain the voltage required to support all vehicle features.
If this alert is present while you are driving, it is possible your vehicle will shut down unexpectedly.
It is also possible that your vehicle will not restart after the current drive.
It is recommended that you eliminate or reduce your use of any non-essential features. This can help your vehicle maintain adequate electrical power for essential functions. It may also prevent your vehicle from shutting down
before you reach your immediate destination, although this is not guaranteed.
If this alert remains active, schedule service immediately. Without service, your vehicle may shut down unexpectedly
or may not restart.
(VCFRONT_a182)
12V battery must be replaced - Schedule service
Software will not update until battery is replaced
The 12V battery is showing degraded performance and needs to be replaced. Until the 12V battery is replaced,
vehicle software updates will not complete.
It is recommended that you have the 12V battery replaced at your earliest convenient opportunity.
You can schedule service via the Tesla Mobile App, or with an independent service provider that offers 12V battery
replacement for your vehicle. Please note that independent service provider options may vary, based on your vehicle
configuration and your location.
Your vehicle is OK to drive with this alert present. However, if you delay the 12V battery replacement, your vehicle
may eventually not have enough power to start or to restart after a recent drive.
If the 12V battery is too low to turn on the vehicle or open the doors, follow the instructions in Jump Starting the 12V
Battery on page 199.
