8. Remove the key and store it in a safe
place (preferably inside the vehicle).
Note: The key can be removed only if the
hitch is locked. This indicates a proper
connection. Do not use the hitch if the key
is not removed.
Note: Tesla recommends making a note of
the key code. You need this code if you
lose the keys and need to order a
replacement.
9. Close the dust cover to prevent dirt and
debris from entering the lock. For newer
version with push clips, reattach the dust
cover, snap it in place and open the push
clips before pushing them in.
Note: To maintain the hitch, regularly grease
its surfaces with non-resinous grease.
Disconnecting the Tow Hitch
After towing, remove the hitch:
1. Insert the key and turn to align the top of
the key with the "unlocked" position.
2. While firmly holding the bottom of the
hitch (to prevent it from dropping to the
ground), pull the locking cylinder out
approximately 0.5 cm, and turn it
clockwise until the red marking on the
locking cylinder aligns with the white dot.
At this point, the locking cylinder is locked
in the "open" and the hitch drops out of
the housing.
Warning: Be careful when turning the
locking cylinder. If it does not lock
into the "Open Position", it
automatically retracts into its original
"closed" position and can pinch your
fingers.
3. Reinstall the dust cover on the hitch
housing to prevent dirt from accumulating
inside the housing.
4. Close the dust cover on the hitch's locking
cylinder and store the hitch in a secure
location.
