Opening
To open the rear trunk, ensure Model S is in Park, then
do one of the following:
•
Touch Controls > Trunk on the touchscreen.
• Double-click the rear trunk button on the key fob.
• Touch the rear trunk button on the mobile app.
•
Press the switch located under the liftgate's exterior
handle (a valid key must be detected).
NOTE: If Passive Entry is o, you must use a key fob to
unlock Model S before you can use the switch to open
the liftgate. See
Using the Key Fob on page 8.
Model S must be unlocked or detect a key before you
can use the switch to open the liftgate.
When a door, trunk or
liftgate is open, the
instrument panel displays the Door Open
indicator light. The image of your Model S
on the touchscreen also displays the open
trunk.
To stop a
liftgate while it is moving, single-click the rear
trunk button on the key fob. Then, when you double-
click the rear trunk button, it moves again, but in the
opposite direction (provided it was not almost entirely
open or closed when you stopped it). For example, if
you single-click to stop the
liftgate while opening, when
you double-click, it closes.
NOTE: In emergency situations, you can override an
open or close command by grasping the
liftgate to stop
it in place.
To open the liftgate from inside the vehicle in the
unlikely situation that
Model S has no power, see Interior
Emergency Trunk Release on page 14.
WARNING:
Before opening or closing the liftgate,
check the surrounding area (for people and
objects). You must proactively monitor the liftgate
to ensure that it does not come into contact with a
person or object. Failure to do so may result in
damage or injury.
Closing
If Model S is not equipped with a liftgate, close the rear
trunk by pulling down on the liftgate and pushing firmly
until it is fully closed.
To close the liftgate, do one of the following:
•
Touch Controls > Trunk.
• Double-click the rear trunk button on the key fob.
• Press the switch located on the underside of the
liftgate (see Adjusting Liftgate Opening Height on
page 13).
If the liftgate senses an obstruction when closing, it
stops moving and chimes two times. Remove the
obstruction and try closing it again.
If the liftgate loses its calibration when opened, the
liftgate chimes three times and does not move. To
restore calibration, manually pull the liftgate down to
close it.
Adjusting Liftgate Opening Height
If Model S is equipped with a liftgate, you can adjust its
opening height to make it easier to reach or to avoid
low-hanging ceilings or objects (for example, a garage
door or light):
1.
Open the trunk, then manually lower or raise the
liftgate to the desired opening height.
2.
Press and hold the button on the underside of the
liftgate for three seconds until you hear a
confirmation chime.
3.
Confirm that you have set it to the desired height by
closing the liftgate, then reopening it.
