Adjusting the Front and Rear Vents

Model 3 has a unique horizontal face-level vent that spans the width of the dashboard. It also has vents at the back of the center console for the rear cabin.

  1. Driver vents
  2. Driver controls
  3. Passenger controls
  4. Passenger vents
  5. Rear vents
  6. Rear controls (if equipped)

Using the touchscreens (if equipped), you can pinpoint exactly where you want to direct the air flowing from this vent when heating or cooling the cabin. When the face-level vent is on you can adjust the direction of the air flow from each vent. To adjust the direction of the air flow, touch and drag the radiating air waves from the corresponding vent on the touchscreen. The air flows in a single stream when centered or splits into mirrored air streams when air is directed outward or inward from the center of the vent.

Note
When you split a vent into two separate air flows, the air flow in each direction is not as strong as when all air is flowing in a single direction.

If your vehicle has no rear touchscreen, you can direct the flow of air in the rear cabin area by adjusting the vents at the rear of the center console.

Cabin Air Filter(s)

Model 3 has one or more air filters to prevent pollen, industrial fallout, road dust and other particles from entering through the vents.
