Windows
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.
Opening and Closing
NOTE: It is your responsibility to ensure windows are
closed after locking the vehicle.
Press down on a switch to lower the associated window.
Window switches operate at two levels:
Locking Rear Windows
• To lower a window fully, press the switch all the way
down and immediately release.
To prevent passengers from using the rear window
switches, touch Controls > Locks > Window Lock. To
unlock the rear windows, touch Window Lock again.
• To lower a window partially, press the switch gently
and release when the window is where you want it.
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 Y.
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:
1. Close the door with the affected window.
2. Sit in the driver's seat and close the driver door.
3. Using the window's switch on the driver's door, raise
the affected window until it stalls.
4. Using the window's switch on the driver's door, lower
the affected window until it stalls.
5. Repeat step 3 and raise the affected window until it
stalls.
Similarly, pull a switch to raise the associated window:
The window should now be calibrated. If the issue
continues after attempting the calibration procedure a
couple times, contact Tesla.
• 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.
UV Index Rating
If a window is left open unintentionally, Model Y can
send a notification to the mobile app (touch Controls >
Locks > Car Left Open Notification, then choose Doors
& Windows).
The roof, windshields, and windows in Model Y are
excellent at protecting you from UV (ultraviolet) rays.
The glass components score less than 2 on the UV Index
scale. Review your region’s UV Index specifications for
more information. You are still responsible for taking the
necessary precautions for sun protection.
You can also enable Close Windows on Lock by
touching Controls > Locks > Close Windows on Lock.
When enabled, your vehicle automatically closes the
windows when Model Y locks.
NOTE: See Cold Weather Best Practices on page 85 for
information on preparing windows for cold weather.
CAUTION: To avoid damage, windows
automatically lower slightly when you open or
close a door. If you manually raise a window when
the door is open, ensure it is slightly lowered
before closing the door.
