Tesla MODEL Y 2022 - Opening Hood with No Power

WARNING: Before driving, you must
ensure that the hood is securely
latched in the fully closed position by
carefully trying to lift the front edge of
the hood upward and confirming there
is no movement. If the front trunk is
not closed, a message displays on the
touchscreen that you cannot shift the
vehicle out of Park until the front trunk
is securely closed (see Park on page
59).
The front trunk locks when:
•
You lock Model Y using the touchscreen,
key or mobile app.
•
You leave Model Y carrying your key (if
Walk-Away Door Lock on page 14 is
turned on).
•
Valet mode is active (see Valet Mode on
page 52).
Interior Emergency Release
An illuminated interior release button inside
the front trunk allows a person locked inside
to get out.
Press the interior release button to open the
front trunk, then push up on the hood.
NOTE: The interior release button glows
following a brief exposure to ambient light.
WARNING:
People should never climb
inside the front trunk. Never shut the
front trunk when a person is inside.
WARNING:
Care should be taken to
ensure that objects inside the front
trunk do not bump against the release
button, causing the hood to
accidentally open.
Opening Hood with No Power
In the unlikely event that Model Y has no low
voltage power, you will be unable to open the
front trunk using the touchscreen, key fob, or
mobile app. To open the front trunk in this
situation:
NOTE: The following steps do not open the
front trunk if Model Y is locked and has low
voltage power.
1. Locate an external low voltage power
supply (such as a portable jump starter).
2.
Release the tow eye cover by pressing
firmly on the top right perimeter of the
cover until it pivots inward, then gently
pulling the raised section toward you.
NOTE: The tow eye cover is connected to
the vehicle's black negative (-) terminal.
3.
Pull the two wires out of the tow eye
opening to expose both terminals.
4. Connect the low voltage power supply's
red positive (+) cable to the red positive
(+) terminal.
5. Connect the low voltage power supply's
black negative (-) cable to the black
negative (-) terminal.
