Maintaining Tire Pressures
Keep tires inflated to the pressures shown on
the Tire and Loading Information label, even if
it diers 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 driver’s door is open.
Note: If your Model 3 is
fitted with Tesla
accessory wheels or tires, some information
may be
dierent from the labels on the
vehicle. See Accessory Wheels and Tires on
page 127.
The Tire Pressure indicator light on
the touchscreen alerts you if one or
more tires is under- or over-inflated.
The Tire Pressure indicator light does not
immediately turn o when you adjust tire
pressure. After inflating the tire to the
recommended pressure, you must drive over
15 mph (25 km/h) for more than 10 minutes to
activate the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS), which turns
o the Tire Pressure
indicator light.
If the indicator light flashes for one minute
whenever you power on Model 3, a fault with
the TPMS is detected (see TPMS Malfunction
on page 118).
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 > Settings > Tire Pressure.
Checking and Adjusting Tire Pressures
Follow these steps when tires are cold and
Model 3 has been stationary for over three
hours:
1. Remove the valve cap.
2. Firmly press an accurate tire pressure
gauge onto the valve to measure pressure.
3. If required, add or remove air to reach the
recommended pressure.
Note: You can release air by pressing the
metal stem in the center of the valve.
4. Re-check pressure using the tire gauge.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 as necessary until
the tire pressure is correct.
6. Replace the valve cap to prevent dirt from
entering. Periodically check the valve for
damage and leaks.
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's range and tire tread life.
Warning: Check tire pressures using an
accurate pressure gauge when tires are
cold. It takes only about one mile (1.6 km)
of driving to warm up the tires suciently
to aect tire pressures. Parking the
vehicle in direct sunlight or in hot weather
can also aect tire pressures. If you must
check warm tires, expect increased
pressures. Do not let air out of warm tires
in an attempt to match recommended
cold tire pressures. A hot tire at or below
the recommended cold tire
inflation
pressure is dangerously under-inflated.
Warning: Do not use any tire sealant
other than the type provided in a Tesla
tire repair kit. Other types can cause tire
pressure sensors to malfunction. If your
Model 3 did not include a tire repair kit,
you can purchase one from Tesla.
