Using Exterior Door Handles
Use your thumb to push the wide part of the
door handle. The handle pivots toward you,
and you can open the door by pulling the
handle or pulling the edge of the door.
The handle retracts automatically.
When a door or trunk is
open, the touchscreen
displays the Door Open
indicator light.
NOTE: See Cold Weather Best Practices on
page 83 to ensure door handles function
properly in cold weather.
NOTE: You can specify that you want to
unlock only the driver's door when you shift
into Park by turning on
Controls > Locks >
Driver Door Unlock Mode. If o, all doors
unlock when you shift into Park.
Opening Doors from the
Interior
Model Y doors are electrically powered. To
open a door while sitting inside, press the
button located at the top of the interior door
handle and push the door open.

manual door release located in front of the
window switches.

Manual door releases are
designed to be used only in situations

Model Y has power, use the button
located at the top of the interior door
handle.
