Tesla Model 3: Windows
Opening and Closing
Press down on a switch to lower the
associated window. Window switches operate
at two levels:
- To lower a window fully, press the switch
all the way down and immediately release.
- To lower a window partially, press the
switch gently and release when the
window is where you want it.
Similarly, pull a switch to raise the associated
window:
- To raise a window fully, pull the switch all
the way up and immediately release.
- To raise a window partially, pull the switch
gently and release when the window is
where you want it.
Note: See Cold Weather Best Practices for information
on preparing
windows for cold weather.
Caution: When exiting the vehicle, be
careful not to unintentionally press the
window switches, as they may lower the
windows on the driver or other doors.
Caution: Closing the door while the
window is fully raised (for example, if
manually raised) can damage the
windows or the vehicle. Ensure the
window is slightly lowered before closing
the door.
Warning: Before closing a window, it is
the driver's responsibility to ensure that
all occupants, especially children, do not
have any body parts extended through
the window's opening. Failure to do so
can cause serious injury.
Locking Rear Windows
To prevent passengers from using the rear
window switches, touch Controls > Quick
Controls > Window Lock. To unlock the rear
windows, touch Window Lock again.
Warning: To ensure safety, it is
recommended that you lock the rear
window switches whenever children are
seated in the rear seats.
Warning: Never leave children unattended
in Model 3.
Calibrating Windows
In the unlikely event that a window behaves
unexpectedly (touches the bright molding,
fails to open or close properly, goes down
more than normal when the door opens, etc.),
you can calibrate it to potentially fix the issue.
To calibrate a window:
- Close the door with the affected window.
- Sit in the driver's seat and close the driver
door.
- Use the driver window switch to raise the
affected window until it stalls.
- Use the driver window switch to lower the
affected window until it stalls.
- Use the driver window switch to raise the
affected window until it stalls.
The window should now be calibrated. If the
issue continues after attempting the
calibration procedure a couple times, contact
Tesla.
