Vehicle is preparing to shut down
PULL OVER SAFELY
The electrical system cannot provide adequate support to drive or continue driving. Your vehicle
is preparing to shut down to preserve energy for essential functions other than driving.
Your vehicle cannot be driven or continue driving while this condition continues.
If this alert is present while you are driving, your vehicle needs to come to a stop as soon as
possible. It is recommended that you:
•
Pull over safely at your earliest opportunity
•
Use your Mobile App to contact Tesla Roadside Assistance immediately, or seek other
roadside assistance if preferred
If you do not pull over safely within a short time, your vehicle may shut down unexpectedly. It is
also possible that your vehicle will not restart once parked.
It is possible your vehicle may lose all electrical power. If this occurs, you can still use the manual
door releases to exit the vehicle if necessary. For more information, see
Opening Doors from the
Interior on page 13.
This alert may be present due to various vehicle conditions. For more information and further
recommended actions, check for other active vehicle alerts.

Air pressure below recommendation for tires
Check pressure and refill air as needed
This alert does NOT indicate that there is a flat tire.
The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) has detected that the air pressure in one or more of
your tires is at least 20% lower than the recommended cold tire pressure.
See Maintaining Tire Pressures on page 197 for detailed information on where to find the
recommended cold pressure (RCP) for your vehicle's tires, how to check tire pressures, and how
to keep your tires properly
inflated.
This alert may appear in cold weather because the air in your tires naturally contracts when it
becomes cold, decreasing tire pressures.
•
Although drops in tire pressure are expected in colder weather, air should still be added to
maintain the recommended cold tire pressure.
• The alert may clear as the vehicle is driven. This is because the tires will warm up and the
tire pressure will increase.
◦ Even if the alert clears, the tires should still be refilled with air once they have cooled.
For the best experience with your vehicle, the recommended cold tire pressure should
be maintained at all times.
The alert should clear once the Tire Pressure Monitoring System detects that each of your tires
is inflated to the recommended cold pressure.
