NOTE:
Changing your vehicle's wheel
configuration can impact range estimates, tire
pressure warning levels, and vehicle
visualization.
WARNING:
Only use Tesla-approved
wheels when installing or swapping
wheels. Using non Tesla-approved
wheels can cause serious damage.
Tesla is not liable for damage caused
by using wheels not approved by
Tesla.
Tire Pressure Monitoring
Each tire should be checked monthly when
cold and inflated to the recommended
pressures that are printed on the Tire and
Loading Information label located on the
driver’s door pillar (see
). If your vehicle has
tires of a different size than the size indicated
on the vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label, determine the proper tire
inflation pressure for those tires.
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has
been equipped with a TPMS that displays a
tire pressure telltale (Tire Pressure Warning)
on the instrument panel when one or more of
your tires is significantly under- or over-
inflated. Accordingly, when the Tire Pressure
indicator light displays on the instrument
panel to alert you about tire pressure, stop
and check your tires as soon as possible, and
inflate them to the proper pressure (see
Maintaining Tire Pressures on page 213
Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire
causes the tire to overheat and can lead to
tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces range
efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect
the vehicle's handling and stopping ability.
If Model X detects a fault
with the TPMS, this indicator
flashes for one minute
whenever you power on
Model X.
NOTE:
Installing accessories that are not
approved by Tesla can interfere with the
TPMS.
WARNING:
The TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire maintenance,
including manually checking tire
pressures and regularly inspecting the
condition of tires. It is the driver's
responsibility to maintain correct tire
pressure, even if under- or over-
inflation has not reached the level for
the TPMS to trigger the Tire Pressure
Warning on the instrument panel.
Automatic Reset of TPMS Sensors
After replacing one or more wheels (but not
after replacing a tire or rotating wheels), the
TPMS sensors are reset to ensure tire pressure
warnings are accurate. TPMS sensors reset
automatically after driving over 15 mph
(25 km/h) for longer than 10 minutes.
NOTE:
After replacing a wheel, false tire
pressure warnings may display before you've
driven 15 mph (25 km/h) for longer than 10
minutes.
Replacing a Tire Sensor
If the Tire Pressure warning indicator displays
frequently, contact Tesla to determine if a tire
sensor needs to be replaced. If a non-Tesla
Service Center repairs or replaces a tire, the
tire sensor may not work until Tesla performs
the setup procedure.
TPMS Malfunction
Model X has also been equipped with a TPMS
malfunction indicator to indicate when the
system is not operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction
indicator is combined with
the tire pressure indicator
light. When the system
detects a malfunction, the
indicator flashes for
approximately one minute,
then remains continuously
lit. This sequence continues
upon subsequent vehicle
start-ups as long as the
malfunction exists. When
the TPMS malfunction
indicator is on, the system
might not be able to detect
or signal under- or over-
inflated tires as intended.
