Keep Climate On and Dog Mode
The Keep Climate On and Dog settings allow
you to keep the climate control system
running when in Park, even after you've left
Model X. Both settings are useful when it is
important to maintain the cabin temperature
in hot or cold weather conditions (for
example, when leaving groceries in Model X
on hot days, you may want to use Keep
Climate On to prevent spoilage). Dog mode
keeps your pet comfortable while also
displaying the current cabin temperature on
the touchscreen so people nearby are
informed that your pet does not need to be
rescued.
Note: To initiate Keep Climate On or Dog
Mode, the Battery's charge level must be at
least 20%.
To operate Keep Climate On or Dog Mode:
1.
Engage the Park gear. The Keep Climate
On and Dog settings are available only
when Model X is in Park.
2. If necessary, adjust the climate settings.
3. Touch the fan icon then touch Keep
Climate On or Dog.
The climate control system maintains your
climate settings until you shift out of Park or
manually turn it off. If the Battery's charge
level drops below 20%, the Tesla mobile app
repeatedly starts sending you notifications
reminding you to check on anything that you
have left in Model X.
The next time you drive Model X, the climate
control system continues operating using the
previous settings from your most recent trip.
Note: Software updates can not be performed
when Smart Preconditioning, Dog Mode or
Keep Climate On is active.
Warning: You can adjust the climate
control system remotely using the mobile
app. However, if you use the mobile app
to turn off the climate control system,
Keep Climate On and Dog Mode stop
operating.
Warning: Avoid using Keep Climate On
and Dog Mode when the battery charge is
low. When leaving a dog or pet in
Model X, you must ensure that you have
your phone with you and that the Tesla
mobile app is running. This allows you to
proactively monitor the cabin
temperature. To ensure the safety and
comfort of your dog or pet, always make
sure you have adequate cellular coverage
to receive notifications and allow enough
time to return to Model X should the
climate control system stop operating—
on hot days, the cabin temperature can
become dangerously high within a few
minutes.
Warning: Check local laws for any
restrictions on leaving pets unattended in
your vehicle.
Warning: Never leave a child unattended
in your vehicle.
Ventilation
To direct the flow of air inside Model X, move
the interior vents up, down, or from side to
side.
Note: You can direct the outer face level vents
toward the side windows to help defrost or
defog them.
Cabin Air Filter
Model X has an air filter that prevents pollen,
industrial fallout, road dust and other particles
from entering through the vents. Tesla
recommends replacing the cabin air filter
every 2 years.
Tesla recommends replacing the HEPA air
filter (if equipped) every 3 years.
Cabin Overheat Protection
The climate control system can reduce the
temperature of the cabin in extremely hot
ambient conditions for a period of up to
twelve hours after you exit Model X. Touch
Controls > Safety & Security > Cabin Overheat
Protection and choose:
•
OFF: Disable Cabin Overheat Protection.
