Owners Manual
Interior Glass

Do not scrape, or use any abrasive cleaning fluid on glass or mirrored surfaces. This can damage the reflective surface of the
mirror and the heating elements in the rear window.
Airbags

Do not allow any substance to enter an airbag cover. This could affect correct operation.
Dashboard and Plastic Surfaces

Do not polish the upper surfaces of the dashboard. Polished surfaces are reflective and could interfere with your driving view.
Interior Lighting

NOTE: The Tesla warranty does not cover damage caused by improper maintenance, including the use of cleaning solutions or
tools that are not recommended in this Owner's Manual.
Do not use any soap or chemical cleaning solutions on interior lighting. Common cleaning solutions and substances can
degrade the lenses or components of the lighting, causing cracks and damage over time. When you want to clean interior
lighting, Tesla recommends that you use a soft cloth moistened with warm water to gently wipe away soiled areas or stains.
Interior lighting includes, but is not limited to, these lights (if equipped):
• Footwell
• Puddle
• Projection
• Dome
• Accent
• Accent
• Ambient
When you want to clean the interior with soap or a mild non-detergent cleaner, Tesla recommends that you first cover all
lighting with some form of protection, such as:
• Fabric.
• Masking tape.
• Plastic film.
• Protective covers for car interiors.
Seats

NOTE: The Tesla warranty does not cover damage caused by improper maintenance, including the use of cleaning solutions or
tools that are not recommended in this Owner's Manual.
Your vehicle’s seats are made of a custom, sustainable, vegan leather which is softer than leather, yet far more durable and
stain resistant. Tesla recommends that you regularly clean and vacuum the interior of your vehicle to maintain performance
and an as-new appearance. You can purchase an all-purpose cleaning kit on the Tesla shop.
Avoid contact with harsh chemicals, including certain cosmetics. Such substances can cause damage, degradation, or
discoloration over time.
For general spills and stains, wipe spills and chemical residues from interior surfaces as soon as possible. Moisten a soft cloth
(preferably microfiber) with warm water and mild soap and gently wipe the stain in a circular motion. Then, wipe dry using a
soft, lint-free cloth. Do not blow dry. Anything more than soap can be too harsh. Using other cleaning agents, disinfectants,
conditioners, or protectants is not recommended.
For white seats: As a last resort, moisten a soft cloth (such as microfiber) with warm water and isopropyl alcohol and gently
wipe the stain in a circular motion (DO NOT use this method on black seats). Clean off any remaining isopropyl alcohol residue
with a soft, damp cloth. Aggressive or extended use of isopropyl alcohol will damage the top coat of the material, allowing
stains to occur more readily and violating the warranty.

Owners Manual
CAUTION: Do not use products containing alcohol, bleach (sodium hypoclorite), citrus, naptha, or silicon-based
additives. Do not spray the seat directly with any spray. Do not get water into the seat belt mechanism.
A variety of clothing, accessories, and cosmetics may contain dyes or oils which can transfer onto the seats over time. These
stains are difficult to prevent and cannot always be safely cleaned off.
CAUTION: Do not use aftermarket, non-Tesla seat covers. Seat covers may cause staining or damage to the seats and
may inhibit the sensitivity of a seat's occupancy sensors or restrict deployment of airbags.
If equipped with leather seats, note that leather is prone to dye-transfer which can cause discoloration, particularly on light
colored leather. White and tan leather is coated with an anti-soiling treatment. Using detergents or commercially available
leather cleaners and conditioners is not recommended because they can discolor or dry out the leather.
CAUTION: The front seats are equipped with microphones (see Active Road Noise Reduction on page 62) that must not
be exposed to liquids. To prevent damage to these microphones when cleaning, do not over-saturate the area of the
seats where these microphones are located.
Carpets

Avoid over-wetting carpets. For heavily soiled areas, use a diluted upholstery cleaner.
Seat Belts

Extend the belts to wipe. Do not use any type of detergent or chemical cleaning agent. Allow the belts to dry naturally while
extended, preferably away from direct sunlight.
Door Seals

Wipe door seals with a damp cloth to remove any debris. Excessive debris on the door seals can cause damage when
contacting surrounding surfaces. Avoid using alcohol wipes or any chemical products that can potentially deteriorate the
coating on the door seals.
Tesla Built-In Rear Facing Child Seats

Vacuum the seats to remove any loose dirt. Wipe the seats with a soft cloth dampened with warm water. You can also use an
upholstery cleaner designed for automotive use. Extend the belts to wipe. Allow the belts to dry naturally, preferably away
from direct sunlight.
TouchscreenTouchscreenFront and Rear TouchscreensFront and Rear TouchscreensTouchscreen, Rear Touchscreen, and Instrument
PanelTouchscreen and Instrument Panel

Clean the touchscreen(s) and instrument panel using a soft lint-free cloth specifically designed to clean monitors and
displays. Do not use cleaners (such as a glass cleaner) or alcohol-based gel products (such as hand sanitizer) and do not use a
wet wipe or a dry statically-charged cloth (such as a recently washed microfiber). To wipe the front touchscreen without
activating buttons and changing settings, you can enable Screen Clean Mode. Touch Controls > Display > Screen Clean Mode.
The display darkens to make it easy to see dust and smudges. To exit Screen Clean Mode, press and hold HOLD TO EXIT.
Chrome and Metal Surfaces

Polish, abrasive cleaners, alcohol-based gel products (such as hand sanitizer), and hard cloths can damage the finish on
chrome and metal surfaces.
Cautions for Interior Cleaning

CAUTION: Using solvents (including alcohol), alcohol-based gel products (such as hand sanitizer), bleach, citrus,
naphtha, or silicone-based products or additives on interior components can cause damage.
CAUTION: Statically-charged materials can cause damage to the touchscreen or instrument panel.
WARNING: If you notice any damage on an airbag or seat belt, contact Tesla immediately.
WARNING: Do not allow any water, cleaners, or fabric to enter a seat belt mechanism.

WARNING: Do not use solvents or soap on interior accent lights.
WARNING: Exposure to chemical cleaners can be hazardous and can irritate eyes and skin. Read and observe the
instructions provided by the manufacturer of the chemical cleaner.
Polishing, Touch Up, and Body Repair
To preserve the cosmetic appearance of the body, you can occasionally treat the paint surfaces with an approved polish
containing:
• Very mild abrasive to remove surface contamination without removing or damaging the paint.
• Filling compounds that fill scratches and reduce their visibility.
• Wax to provide a protective coating between the paint and environmental elements.
Regularly inspect the exterior paint for damage. Treat minor chips and scratches using a paint touch-up pen (available for
purchase from Tesla, depending on market region). Use the touch-up pen after washing but before polishing or waxing.
Repair rock chips, fractures or scratches. Refer to https://www.tesla.com/support/body-shop-support for more information
on repair locations and available services.
CAUTION: Do not use cutting pastes, color restoration compounds, or polishes containing harsh abrasives. These can
scour the surface and permanently damage the paint.
CAUTION: Do not use chrome polish or other abrasive cleaners.
Using a Car Cover
To preserve the cosmetic appearance of the body when CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y is not being used, use a
genuine Tesla car cover. Car covers can be purchased online from the Tesla Shop.

Owner's Manual

Checking and Cleaning Wiper Blades
Periodically clean the edge of the wiper blades and check the rubber for cracks, splits, and roughness. If damaged, replace the
blade immediately to prevent damage to the glass and improve visibility.
Contaminants on the windshield, or on the wiper blades, can reduce the effectiveness of the wipers. Contaminants include
ice, wax spray from car washes, washer fluid with bug and/or water repellent, bird droppings, tree sap, and other organic
substances.
Follow these guidelines for cleaning:
• Clean the windshield and wiper blades using washer fluid, isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol, or non-abrasive glass cleaner
approved for use on automotive glass and rubber. Inappropriate products can cause damage or smears, and create glare on
the windshield.
• Lift the wiper arm a short distance away from the windshield, just far enough to access the wiper blade. Do not lift a wiper
arm beyond its intended position.
If the wipers remain ineffective after cleaning, replace the wiper blades.
Replacing Wiper Blades
For optimum performance, replace the wiper blades at least once a year. Replacement blades must meet the following criteria:
• The blade on the driver's side must be 26 inches (650 mm) long and 20 inches (500 mm)19 inches (475 mm)21 inches
(530 mm) long for the blade on the passenger's side.
• Ensure the connector on the replacement blade is the same as the original blade. Different connectors may prevent the
replacement blade from connecting to the wiper arm on the vehicle.
You can purchase replacement wiper blades on the Tesla Shop.
NOTE: Only install replacement blades that are identical to the original blades. Using inappropriate blades can damage the
wiper system and windshield.
NOTE: The wiper washing system is an integrated part of the wiper blades on CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y.
