• When the chocks are in place, release the
brake pedal and ensure the chocks hold the
weight of the vehicle and trailer.

Vehicle Hold (see Vehicle Hold on page 85)
is not engaged. If Vehicle Hold is braking
Model 3, the Vehicle Hold indicator light
displays on the touchscreen. To disengage

necessary, always ensure that all trailer
wheels have been securely chocked.
Failure to do so can result in serious
damage or injury.
Connecting the Tow Hitch
The Model 3 towing package includes a
weight-carrying hitch with a 50 mm ball
coupling. When not in use, the hitch should
be removed and stored in a dry location to
prevent rust and corrosion. Keep the dust
cover over the hitch housing to prevent dirt
and debris from entering.
WARNING:
You must use the Model 3
trailer hitch when towing a trailer.
Never attempt to attach a dierent
type of trailer hitch.
NOTE:
Always attach safety chains when
towing. Cross the chains under the trailer
tongue and attach to the trailer eyelets to
ensure the security of the trailer load.
To install the trailer hitch:
1. Remove the dust cover from the hitch
housing by inserting a small object, such as
a
flat screwdriver, into the push clips on
each side of the dust cover. Turn the push
clips until they are in an unclasped position,
take them out, and remove the dust cover.
2. Insert the key into the locking cylinder on
the hitch, and turn the cylinder so the top
of the key is aligned with the “Open”
position.
3. Pull the locking cylinder out of the
adapter approximately 0.5 cm, and turn
clockwise until the Unlock icon is
fixated at
the top of the locking cylinder.
