MODEL S OWNERS MANUAL
Inflating with Air Only
If you have a Tesla tire repair kit as described in
page 7.8, follow these steps to inflate a tire with
air:
1.
Detach the power supply connector from
the rear of the compressor and plug it into
the 12V power socket located in Model S on
the front of center console.
2.
Release the black air hose from the
compressor.
3.
Attach the air hose to the valve and press
the lever down to secure it in place.
4.
Ensure the compressor is lying on a level
surface with the pressure gauge facing to
the side where you can read it.
5.
To add air, turn on the compressor and
inflate until the desired pressure is reached.
6.
To release air, turn off the compressor, then
press and hold the red button until the
desired pressure is reached.
NOTE: For your convenience, the tire repair kit
includes a selection of adapters that allow you
to inflate other items. These adapters are
located in a compartment on the back of the
compressor.
CAUTION: To avoid overheating, do not
use the compressor continuously for
more than eight minutes. Allow the
compressor to cool for 15 minutes
between uses.
CAUTION: The compressor runs slowly
when overheated from excessive use.
Turn it off and allow it to cool.
