Model Y Emergency Response Guide
2. Immobilization / stabilization / lifting
IMMOBILIZATION
1. Chock wheels
Model Y moves silently, so never assume it is powered off. Drivers can choose a setting that
determines whether or not Model Y will “creep” when a drive gear is selected. If this setting is
off, Model Y may not move unless the accelerator pedal is pressed, even if shifted into Drive or
Reverse. However, never assume that Model Y will not move. Always chock the wheels.
WARNING
Be careful to not damage the battery pack while stabilizing the vehicle.
2. Put vehicle into Park position
Model Y moves silently, so never assume it is powered off. Pressing the accelerator pedal
even slightly can cause Model Y to accelerate quickly if the active gear is Drive or Reverse. To
ensure that the parking brake is engaged, press the button on the end of the gear selector to
shift into Park. Whenever Model Y is in Park, the parking brake is automatically engaged and
the touchscreen shows the active gear as Park (P).
