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
Opening with No Power
Note: The mechanical release lever described
below is not available on all versions of
Model S. For dual-motor vehicles and on some
newer models, contact Tesla for assistance.
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. This
releases the primary latch.
Then push down on the secondary latch lever
and lift the hood. You may need to push the
hood down slightly to release the pressure
against the secondary latch.
