The climate control system attempts to
maintain your climate settings until you shift
out of Park or manually turn it off. Avoid
using Keep Climate On, Dog, or Camp when
the battery charge is low. If the Battery's
charge level drops below 20%, the Tesla
mobile app attempts to repeatedly send you
notifications reminding you to check on
anything that you have left in Model X.
NOTE:
Software updates cannot be
performed when Keep Climate On, Dog, or
Camp is active.
NOTE:
The intrusion sensor (if equipped)
automatically disables when Keep Climate On,
Dog, or Camp is active. However, you can
override this behavior and keep the intrusion
sensor enabled. To do so, touch
Controls

Tilt/Intrusion
after enabling Keep
Climate On, Dog, or Camp. However, note that
keeping the intrusion sensor enabled while
Keep Climate On, Dog, or Camp is active can
trigger an alarm event as a result of air
movement inside the cabin.
WARNING:
Never leave a child
unattended in your vehicle.
WARNING:
Check local laws for any
restrictions on leaving pets
unattended in your vehicle.
WARNING:
You are responsible for the
safety of your dog or pet. Never leave
them in Model X for long periods of
time. Constantly monitor the vehicle
temperature and their well-being.
Make sure you have sufficient cellular
coverage on your phone and time to
return to the vehicle, if necessary.
WARNING:
In the unlikely event that
your climate control system needs
service or is not working as expected,
avoid using Keep Climate On, Dog,
and Camp. Never rely on your vehicle
to protect something irreplaceable.
WARNING:
You can adjust and
monitor 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, Dog, and Camp stop
operating.
Cabin Air Filter(s)
Model X has one or more air filters to prevent
pollen, industrial fallout, road dust and other
particles from entering through the vents.
NOTE:
Cabin air filter(s) require periodic
replacement. See
.
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

Cabin Overheat
Protection
and choose:
•
Off
: Disable Cabin Overheat Protection.
•
On
: The air conditioning operates when
the cabin temperature exceeds 105° F
(40° C).
NOTE:
Cabin Overheat Protection operates
until 12 hours has elapsed since you exited
Model X, or until the Battery energy drops
below 20%, whichever comes first.
WARNING:
Never leave children or
pets in the vehicle unattended. Due to
automatic shut-off or extreme outside
conditions, the inside of the vehicle
can become dangerously hot, even
when Cabin Overheat Protection is
enabled.
Climate Control Operating Tips
• When you use the mobile app to turn on
the climate control system, it
automatically turns off after four hours or
if the charge level drops to 20%. To cool
or heat the cabin for a longer period, you
must turn it on again.
• If the climate control system is louder
than you prefer, manually reduce the fan
speed.
• In addition to cooling the interior, the air
conditioning compressor also cools the
Battery. Therefore, in hot weather, the air
conditioning compressor can turn on even
if you turned it off. This is normal because
the system’s priority is to cool the Battery
to ensure it stays within an optimum
temperature range to support longevity
and optimum performance.
• Even when not in use, you may hear
Model X emit a whining noise or the
sound of water circulating. These sounds
are normal and occur when the internal
cooling systems turn on to support
