WARNING:
Before driving, you must
ensure that the hood is securely
latched in the fully closed position by
carefully trying to lift the front edge of
the hood upward and confirming there
is no movement.
Interior Emergency
Release
An illuminated interior release button inside
the front trunk allows a person locked inside
to get out.
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.

Care should be taken to
ensure that objects inside the front
trunk do not bump against the release
button, causing the trunk to
accidentally open.
Opening Hood with No
Power
In the unlikely event that Model 3 has no 12V
power, you will be unable to open the front
trunk using the touchscreen, key fob, or
mobile app. To open the front trunk in this
situation:
NOTE:
The following will not open the front
trunk if Model 3 is locked and has 12V power.
1. Locate an external 12V power supply
(such as a portable jump starter).
2. Release the tow eye cover by pressing
firmly on the top right perimeter of the
cover until it pivots inward, then gently
pulling the raised section toward you.
NOTE:
The tow eye cover is connected to
the vehicle's black negative (-) terminal.
3. Pull the two wires out of the tow eye
opening to expose both terminals.
4. Connect the 12V power supply's red
positive (+) cable to the red positive (+)
terminal.
5. Connect the 12V power supply's black
negative (-) cable to the black negative (-)
terminal.
