Secure the Tires
The vehicle's tires must be secured onto the truck using

contact painted surfaces or the face of the wheels.
• Do not place tie-down straps over the body panels or
through the wheels.
CAUTION: Attaching the tie-down straps to the
chassis, suspension or other parts of the vehicle's
body may cause damage.
Jump Starting the Low Voltage
Battery
If jump starting Model Y using another vehicle, refer to
that vehicle manufacturer's instructions. The following
instructions assume you are using an external low
voltage power supply (such as a portable jump starter).
Vehicles manufactured in Shanghai after approximately
October 2021, and Fremont after approximately
December 2021, are equipped with a Lithium-Ion low
voltage battery. Vehicles with a low voltage Lithium-Ion
battery will have a jump post on the cowl, next to the
HEPA filter gasket (if equipped with a HEPA filter).
CAUTION: Model Y cannot be used to jump start
another vehicle. Doing so can result in damage.
CAUTION: Avoid short circuits when jump starting
Model Y. Connecting cables to the wrong
terminals, touching leads together, etc., can result
in damage to Model Y.
