12V BATTERY
In addition to the high voltage system, Model S has a low voltage system, powered by a traditional 12 volt battery. The low voltage
system operates the same electrical components found in conventional vehicles, including the supplementary restraint system (SRS),
airbags, ignition, touchscreen, and interior and exterior lights.
The low voltage system interacts with the high voltage system. The DC-DC converter supplies the 12V battery with power to support
low voltage functions, and the 12V battery supplies power to the high voltage contacts to allow power to fl ow out of the high voltage
battery.
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.
12V battery is located on the right side,
under the hood and the plastic access panel
