First Responder Cut Loop - Tesla 2012 Model S Emergency Response Manual

FIRST RESPONDER CUT LOOP

The first responder cut loop consists of low voltage wires. Cutting this loop shuts down the high voltage system and disables the SRS and airbag
components. See cut instructions on page 11.
NOTE: When cutting the loop, double cut to remove an entire section. This eliminates the risk of the cut wires accidentally reconnecting.
WARNING: Regardless of the disabling procedure you use, ALWAYS ASSUME THAT ALL HIGH VOLTAGE COMPONENTS ARE ENERGIZED! Cutting, crushing or touching high voltage
components can result in serious injury or death.
Cut loop is located on the passenger side,
under the hood and the plastic access panel
