You can access wiper settings by touching the wiper button on the steering yoke (or steering wheel).

• Press the wiper button to wipe the windshield. If the wiper is already operating at a wiper setting and is not set to Auto, pressing the wiper button cycles through speeds. Wiper speeds cycle as follows: I > II > III > IIII > III > II > I.
• Press and hold the wiper button to spray washer fluid onto the windshield. After releasing the button, the wipers perform two additional wipes then, depending on vehicle and environmental conditions, a third wipe a few seconds later. You can also press and hold the wiper button for a continuous spray of washer fluid—the wipers perform the wipes after you release.

You can also access wiper settings by touching Controls > Wipers.

Whenever you press the wiper button, the instrument panel displays the wiper menu, allowing you to adjust wiper settings. Roll the left scroll button on the steering yoke (or steering wheel) up or down to choose your desired setting.

1. Turn the wipers off.
2. Choose how you want the wipers to operate:
   • IIII - Continuous, fast.
   • III - Continuous, slow.
   • II - Intermittent, fast.
   • I - Intermittent, slow.
   • Auto - Model S detects precipitation and adjusts the wiping speed and intensity. Pressing the wiper button while the wipers are set to Auto temporarily increases the sensitivity of the wipers.
     Note

     When you engage Autosteer the wipers are set to Auto. Although you can change the wiper setting from Auto while using Autosteer, the wipers once again default to Auto the next time you engage Autosteer.
     Note

     The Auto setting is currently in BETA. If uncertain about using the Auto setting while in the BETA phase, Tesla recommends operating the wipers manually, as necessary.

Periodically check and clean the edge of the wiper blades. If a blade is damaged, replace it immediately. For details on checking and replacing wiper blades, see Windshield Wiper Blades, Jets and Fluid.
