If this alert is present while you are driving, your vehicle needs to come to a stop as soon as
possible. Pull over safely at your earliest opportunity.
It is possible your vehicle will shut down unexpectedly. It is also possible that your vehicle will
not restart after the current drive.
You may notice that some nonessential features are not available. This is expected behavior due
to your vehicle preserving energy for essential functions.
It is recommended that you eliminate or reduce your use of any nonessential features. This can
help your vehicle maintain adequate electrical power for essential functions other than driving,
until it can be serviced.
If this alert remains present, it is recommended that you schedule service immediately. Without
service, your vehicle may not drive, may shut down unexpectedly, or may not restart.

PULL OVER SAFELY
The electrical system cannot provide adequate support to drive or continue driving. Your vehicle
is preparing to shut down to preserve energy for essential functions other than driving.
Your vehicle cannot be driven or continue driving while this condition continues.
If this alert is present while you are driving, your vehicle needs to come to a stop as soon as
possible. It is recommended that you:
•
Pull over safely at your earliest opportunity
•
Use your Mobile App to contact Tesla Roadside Assistance immediately, or seek other
roadside assistance if preferred
If you do not pull over safely within a short time, your vehicle may shut down unexpectedly. It is
also possible that your vehicle will not restart once parked.
It is possible your vehicle may lose all electrical power. If this occurs, you can still use the manual
door releases to exit the vehicle if necessary. For more information, see Opening Doors from the

Air pressure below recommendation for tires
Check pressure and refill air as needed
This alert does NOT indicate that there is a flat tire.
The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) has detected that the air pressure in one or more of
your tires is at least 20% lower than the recommended cold tire pressure. This recommended
pressure should be displayed on the Tire and Loading information label.
See Maintaining Tire Pressures on page 191 for detailed information on how to keep the tires
properly inflated.
This alert may appear in cold weather because the air in your tires naturally contracts when it
becomes cold, decreasing tire pressures.
