Interior Emergency Release - Tesla S Owner's Manual

Interior Emergency Release

An interior release button inside the front
trunk allows a person locked inside to get out.
This release button is active whenever
Model S is stationary.
Press the interior release button to open the
front trunk, then push up on the hood.
Note: The button glows for several hours after
a brief exposure to ambient light.
Opening and Closing
Front Trunk
Opening with No Power
If Model S has no electrical power, or if you
are unable to open the front trunk using the
touchscreen or key, pull the mechanical
release lever located below the glove box (not
available on newer models). This releases the
primary catch.
Then push down on the secondary catch lever
and lift the hood. You may need to push the
hood down slightly to release the pressure
against the secondary catch.
