Wipers
To wipe the windshield, rotate the end of the
left-hand steering column lever away from
you. You can choose from four levels:
1st: Auto with low rain sensitivity.*
2nd: Auto with high rain sensitivity.*
3rd: Continuous, slow.
4th: Continuous, fast.
For a single wipe, press and release the end of
the lever.
If the wipers are set to Auto and the sensor
detects no water, the wipers do not wipe.
When you operate the wipers, headlights
automatically turn on (if they are not on
already).
*Model S has a rain sensor located on the
inside of the windshield at the base of the
interior mirror. When wipers are set to Auto,
the frequency at which they wipe depends on
how much water the sensor detects. When
wipers are set to the 2nd level, the sensor is
more sensitive.
To extend the life of wiper blades, remove ice
from the windshield before turning wipers on.
Ice has sharp edges that can damage the
rubber on the blades.
Periodically check and clean the edge of the
wiper blade. If damaged, replace the blade
immediately. For details on checking and
replacing wiper blades, see Wiper Blades and
Washer Jets on page 147.
Caution: In harsh climates, ensure that the
wiper blades are not frozen or adhered to
the windshield.
De-icing Wipers
To make wiper blades easy to access so you
can remove any ice and snow, shift Model S
into Park, then use the touchscreen to move
them to the service position. Touch Controls >
Settings > Service & Reset > Service Mode >
ON. When parking in cold outdoor climates, it
is helpful to leave Model S with the wipers in
the service position. In this position, they are
closer to the defrost vent, allowing you to
thaw them by directing air from the climate
control system towards the windshield.
Note: Wipers automatically return to their
normal position when you shift Model S out of
Park.
If Model S is equipped with the optional cold
weather package, you can de-ice wipers by
touching Controls > Cold Weather > Heated
Wipers. Wiper heaters automatically turns
o
after 15 minutes.
Washers
Press the button on the end of the left
steering column lever to spray washer fluid
onto the windshield. You can press this button
at two levels. Press partially for a single wipe,
without any washer fluid. Press fully for both
wipe and wash. When washing the windshield,
the wipers will perform two wipes after you
release the button, then a third wipe a few
seconds later.
Periodically top up washer fluid (see Topping
Up Washer Fluid on page 151).
De-icing Washer Nozzles
If Model S is equipped with the optional cold
weather package, washer nozzles have de-
icers that turn on whenever the ambient
temperature nears freezing, or when you turn
on the heated wipers (Controls > Cold
Weather > Heated Wipers). The washer de-
icers turn
o when the heated wipers turn o
(after 15 minutes), provided the temperature is
warm enough to prevent freezing.
