Stabilizing Model S - Tesla S 2012 Emergency Response Manual

STABILIZING MODEL S

CHOCK ALL FOUR WHEELS
Drivers can choose a setting that determines whether or not
Model S will "creep" when a driving gear is selected. If this setting
is off , Model S does not move unless the accelerator is pressed,
even if shifted into Drive or Reverse. However, never assume that
Model S will not move. Always chock the wheels.
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.
SHIFT INTO PARK
Model S is silent so never assume it is powered off . Pressing the
accelerator pedal even slightly can cause Model S to move quickly
if the currently active gear is Drive or Reverse. To ensure that
the parking brake is engaged, press the button on the end of the
gear selector to shift into Park. Whenever Model S is in Park, the
parking brake is automatically engaged so that the vehicle will not
move if the accelerator pedal is pressed.
