Wiper Blades and Washer Jets
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.
Contaminants on the windshield, or on the
wiper blades, can reduce the eectiveness 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 ineective after cleaning,
replace the wiper blades.
Replacing Wiper Blades
For optimum performance, replace the wiper
blades at least once a year.
Note: Only install replacement blades that are
identical to the original blades. Using
inappropriate blades can aect the operation
of the rain sensor and damage the wiper
system and windshield.
To replace the wiper blades:
1. Shift into Park and turn o the wipers.
2. Touch Controls > Service > Wiper Service
Mode > ON to move the wipers to the
service position.
3. Lift the wiper arm a short distance away
from the windshield, just far enough to
access the wiper blade.
Caution:
Wiper blades do not lock
into a lifted position. Do not lift a
wiper arm beyond its intended
position.
4. Place a towel under the wiper arm to
avoid scratching or cracking the
windshield in case it lowers down for any
reason.
5.
Hold the wiper arm and press the locking
tab while sliding the blade down the arm.
6. Align the new blade on the wiper arm and
slide it toward the hooked end of the arm
until it locks into place.
7. Carefully place the wiper blades against
the windshield.
8. Turn Wiper Service Mode o to return the
wipers to their normal position.
Cleaning Washer Jets
The position of the windshield washers is set
at the factory and should never need
adjusting.
If a windshield washer becomes blocked, use a
thin strand of wire to clear any blockages from
the nozzle.
Warning:
Do not operate the washers
while cleaning Model S. Windshield
washer fluid can irritate eyes and skin.
Read and observe the washer fluid
manufacturer’s instructions.
