This occurs only if the battery's (40° C). charge level is above 20%. • ON: The air conditioning operates when the cabin temperature exceeds 105° F (40° C). Note: Cabin Overheat Protection operates only when the energy remaining in the Battery is above 20% . Warning: Never leave children or pets in the vehicle unattended. Due to automatic shut-off or extreme outside conditions, the inside of the vehicle can become dangerously hot, even when Cabin Overheat Protection is enabled. Climate Control Operating Tips • When you use the mobile app to turn on the climate control system, it automatically turns off after four hours or if the charge level drops to 20%. To cool or heat the cabin for a longer period, you must turn it on again. • To conserve energy, you can limit the power of the climate control system by turning on Range Mode. Cabin heating and cooling may be less effective, but seat heaters can be used to provide warmth in colder climates. Touch Controls > Driving > Range Mode. • If the climate control system is louder than you prefer, manually reduce the fan speed. • In addition to cooling the interior, the air conditioning compressor also cools the Battery. Therefore, in hot weather, the air conditioning compressor can turn on even if you turned it off. This is normal because the system‡s priority is to cool the Battery to ensure it stays within an optimum temperature range to support longevity and optimum performance. • To ensure the climate control system operates efficiently, close all windows and ensure that the exterior grill in front of the windshield is free of ice, snow, leaves, and other debris. • In very humid conditions, it is normal for the windshield to fog slightly when you first turn on the air conditioning. • It is normal for a small pool of water to form under Model X when parked. Extra water produced by the dehumidifying process is drained underneath. Using the Touchscreen 145
