Opening
To open the rear trunk, ensure Model Y is in
Park, then do one of the following:
• Touch the associated Open button 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).
Model Y must be unlocked or detect a key
before you can use the switch to open the
liftgate.
When a door or trunk is
open, the touchscreen
displays the Door Open
indicator light. The image of
your
Model Y 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.
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.
A low voltage power socket is located on the
left side of the rear trunk.
Closing
To close the liftgate, do one of the following:
• Touch the associated Close button on the
touchscreen.
• 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 17).
If the liftgate senses an obstruction when
closing, it stops moving and chimes two
times. Remove the obstruction and try closing
it again.
