until the fluid level is visible just below the

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 S.
NOTE:
Local regulations prohibit the use of
methanol-based washer fluid. Use ethanol-
based washer fluid instead.
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.
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.
