• Touch Controls > Front Trunk on the
touchscreen, or double-click the front
trunk button on the key.

The door open indicator displays on
the instrument panel when the front

Opening and Closing
Closing
The Model S body is made of lightweight
aluminum. Therefore, the hood is not heavy
enough to latch under its own weight and
applying pressure on the front edge or center
of the hood can cause damage. To close the
hood:
• Lower the hood fully until it touches the
latch.
• Placing both hands on the front of the
hood in the areas shown, press down
firmly to engage the latches.
• Lift the front edge of the hood to ensure it
is fully closed.

Warning: Do not drive with the hood
secured by the secondary catch alone.
Opening and Closing
Apply pressure only to the green
areas illustrated above. Applying
pressure to the red areas can cause
damage.
Do not close the hood with one hand
- this applies concentrated force in
one area and can result in a dent or
crease.
Do not apply pressure to the leading
edge of the hood - this can crease
the edge.
Do not slam or drop the hood.
