Opening Doors with No Power
Opening a Front Door with No Power
To open a front door in the unlikely situation when Model S has no power, pull up the manual door release located in front of the window switches.
Opening a Rear Door with No Power
To open a rear door in the unlikely situation when Model S has no power, fold back the edge of the carpet below the rear seats to expose the mechanical release cable. Pull the mechanical release cable toward the center of the vehicle.
CAUTION
Only use the manual door release when Model S has no power or if otherwise
necessary. When Model S has power, use the button
located at the top of the interior door handle. Use caution when using the manual
door release; the window will not automatically lower when the door is opened and
damage to the window or vehicle trim may occur.
