Topping Up Washer Fluid
The only reservoir into which you can add fluid
is the washer fluid reservoir, which is located
behind the front trunk. When the level is low, a
message displays on the instrument panel.
Caution: Do not add formulated washer
fluids that contain water repellent or bug
wash. These fluids can cause streaking,
smearing, and squeaking or other noises.
Operate the washers periodically to check that
the nozzles are clear and properly directed.
See Wipers and Washers on page 65.
To top up the washer
fluid:
1. Open the hood.
2. Clean around the filler cap before opening
it to prevent dirt from entering the
reservoir.
3. Open the
filler cap.
4. Fill the reservoir until the fluid level is
visible just below the
filler neck.
5. Replace the filler cap.
Note: Some national or local regulations
restrict the use of Volatile Organic
Compounds (VOCs). VOCs are commonly
used as antifreeze in washer
fluid. Use a
washer fluid with limited VOC content only if it
provides adequate freeze resistance for all
climates in which you drive Model X.
Caution:
Under no circumstances do you
need to inspect or top up other fluid
reservoirs. Two additional fluid reservoirs
are located next to the washer fluid, but
underneath the maintenance panel. In the
unlikely event that you see a message on
the instrument panel that one of these
fluid levels is low, stop driving Model X as
soon as safe to do so, and contact Tesla.
Caution: Do not spill washer fluid on
body panels. Doing so can cause damage.
Wipe up spills immediately and wash the
aected area with water.
Warning: In temperatures below 4° C, use
a washer fluid with antifreeze. In cold
weather, using a washer fluid without
antifreeze can impair visibility through the
windshield.
Warning: Windshield washer fluid can
irritate eyes and skin. Read and observe
the instructions provided by the washer
fluid manufacturer.
