Maintaining Tire Pressures
If you are not towing a trailer, keep tires
inflated to the pressures shown on the Tire
and Loading Information label, even if it
differs from the pressure printed on the tire
itself. The Tire and Loading Information label
is located on the center door pillar and is
visible when the front door is open.
If you are towing a trailer, do not use the tire
pressures printed on the Tire and Loading
Information Label. Instead, refer to the tire
pressures published in the towing topic (see
Towing and Accessories on page 95 ).
NOTE: If your Model 3 is fitted with Tesla
accessory wheels or tires, some information
may be different from the labels on the
vehicle.
The Tire Pressure indicator
light on the touchscreen
alerts you if one or more
tires is under- or over-
inflated.
The Tire Pressure indicator light does not
immediately turn off when you adjust tire
pressure. After inflating the tire to the
recommended pressure, you must drive over
25 km/h for more than 10 minutes to activate
the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS),
which turns off the Tire Pressure indicator
light.
If the indicator light flashes for one minute
whenever you power on Model 3, a fault with
the TPMS is detected (see
TPMS Malfunction
on page 206 ).
NOTE: Display tire pressures in the "Cards"
area, located toward the bottom on the left
side of the touchscreen, as described in
Touchscreen Overview on page 6 . You can
also choose whether you want to display tire
pressures using BAR or PSI by touching
Controls > Display > Tire Pressure .
WARNING: Under-inflation is the most
common cause of tire failures and can
cause a tire to overheat, resulting in
severe tire cracking, tread separation,
or blowout, which causes unexpected
loss of vehicle control and increased
risk of injury. Under-inflation also
reduces the vehicle's range and tire
tread life.
WARNING: Check tire pressures using
an accurate pressure gauge when tires
are cold. It takes only about 1.6 kms of
driving to warm up the tires
sufficiently to affect tire pressures.
Parking the vehicle in direct sunlight
or in hot weather can also affect tire
pressures. If you must check warm
tires, expect increased pressures. Do
not let air out of warm tires in an
attempt to match recommended cold
tire pressures. A hot tire at or below
the recommended cold tire inflation
pressure is dangerously under-inflated.
WARNING: Do not use any tire sealant
other than the type provided in a Tesla
tire repair kit. Other types can cause
tire pressure sensors to malfunction. If
your Model 3 did not include a tire
repair kit, you can purchase one from
Tesla.
Checking and Adjusting Tire
Pressures
Follow these steps when tires are cold and
Model 3 has been stationary for over three
hours:
1. Refer to the Tire and Loading Information
label located on the driver’s center door
pillar for the target tire pressure.
2. Remove the valve cap.
3. Firmly press an accurate tire pressure
gauge onto the valve to measure pressure.
