Press the interior release button to open the front trunk,
then push up on the hood.
NOTE: The interior release button glows following a brief
exposure to ambient light.
WARNING: People should never climb inside the
front trunk. Never shut the front trunk when a
person is inside.
WARNING: Care should be taken to ensure that
objects inside the front trunk do not bump against
the release button, causing the hood to
accidentally open.
Opening Hood with No Power
If Model X has no electrical power, or if you are unable to
open the front trunk using the touchscreen or key, follow
these steps to open it:
1. Remove the tow eye cover (see
Transporters on page
208).
2. Locate the two straps. One of these straps is labeled
'A' and the other is labeled 'B'.
3. Pull strap 'A' to release the primary latch.
4. Pull strap 'B' to release the secondary latch.
5. Lift the hood. You may need to push the hood down
slightly to release the pressure against the secondary
latch.
NOTE: It is important to pull the straps in the correct
sequence or the appropriate latch does not release and
the front trunk can not open.
When opening the front trunk using this method, the
latches remain in the open position and you can not
close it again without electrical power. To close a front
trunk that has been opened by pulling the manual
straps:
1. Charge the low voltage battery (for instructions,
contact Tesla).
2. Press the Front Trunk button on the touchscreen to
reset the primary and secondary latches.
