EMERGENCY RESPONSE
GUIDE
This guide is intended only for use by trained and certified rescuers and first responders. It assumes that readers have a comprehensive understanding of how
safety systems work and have completed the appropriate training and certification required to safely handle rescue situations. Therefore, this guide provides only
the specific information required to understand and safely handle the fully electric Model S in an emergency situation. It describes how to identify ModelS, and
provides the locations and descriptions of its high voltage components, airbags, inflation cylinders, seat belt pre-tensioners, and high strength materials used in
its body structure. This guide includes the high voltage disabling procedure and any safety considerations specific to Model S. Failure to follow recommended
practices or procedures can result in serious injury or death.
The high voltage battery is the main energy source. Model S does not have a traditional gasoline or diesel engine and therefore does not have a fuel tank.
