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.
Caution: The maintenance panel protects
the front trunk from water. When re-
attaching, make sure it is fully seated.
Checking Battery Coolant
If the quantity of
fluid in the cooling system
drops below the recommended level, the
instrument panel displays a warning message.
Stop driving Model X as soon as safety
permits and contact Tesla.
Fluid Level Check
Tesla checks the Battery coolant level at the
regularly scheduled maintenance intervals.
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 instrument panel 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 Fluid
Warning: 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.
The Brake indicator on the
instrument panel 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.
Fluid Level Check
Tesla checks the brake fluid level at the
regularly scheduled maintenance intervals.
Topping Up the Brake Fluid
Do not top up your brake
fluid. Tesla service
does this when you bring Model X in for
regular servicing. 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—fluid
absorbs moisture which decreases
braking performance.
Warning: Brake fluid is highly toxic. Keep
containers sealed and out of the reach of
children. In the event of accidental
consumption, seek medical attention
immediately.
Caution: Brake fluid damages painted
surfaces. Immediately soak up any spills
with an absorbent cloth and wash the
area with a mixture of car shampoo and
water.
