Model Y Emergency Response Guide
Opening Front Doors from Inside without Power
To open the Model Y front doors from the inside without 12V power, lift the mechanical release
handle located near the window switches.
It is important to know that in any vehicle collision with damage to the driver or passenger front
door, the mechanical door release may not operate as designed. It is also important to remember
that every vehicle accident is different and may require extrication operations to gain access to
the vehicle’s cabin.
NOTE:
Only the front doors are equipped with a mechanical release handle.
Opening the Liftgate with 12V Power
Use one of the following methods to open the liftgate:
1. Touch the associated OPEN button on the touchscreen for the liftgate.
2. Press the switch located under the exterior handle on the liftgate.
