Touch to adjust how air flows from the front vents. See Adjusting the Front and Rear Vents on page 139.
11. When Model X is in Park, touch Schedule to set a recurring daily time when you want Model X to be ready to
drive by preconditioning the Battery and cabin climate and/or charging during o-peak hours (see Scheduled
Charging and Scheduled Departure on page 185).
12.
If your Model X is equipped with the medical-grade HEPA (High Eciency Particulate Air) filter, this filter ensures
the best quality air inside the cabin whenever the climate control system is on and outside air is entering the
cabin (recirculate is o). The HEPA filter is extremely eective at removing particles, including pollution,
allergens, bacteria, pollen, mold spores, and viruses. Both the HEPA filter and the secondary filtration system also
contain activated carbon to remove a broad spectrum of odors and gases. When you engage Bioweapon Defense
Mode, the positive pressure inside the cabin minimizes the amount of outside air that can enter the vehicle.
NOTE: Some gases, such as carbon monoxide, are not eectively removed by activated carbon.
13.
Touch to control the flow of air inside the cabin. Air can be drawn into Model X from outside or air can be
recirculated inside the cabin.
14.
Use the slider to adjust the fan speed. When in Auto, the fan speed levels change to Low/ Medium/ High.
NOTE: Adjusting the fan speed may change the selected setting for how air is drawn into Model X in order to
increase or reduce air flow.
15.
Touch to turn the air conditioning system on or o. Turning it o reduces cooling, but saves energy.
NOTE: Because Model X runs much quieter than a gasoline-powered vehicle, you may notice the sound of the air
conditioning compressor as it is operating. To minimize noise, reduce the fan speed.
