Front Trunk
Opening
To open the front trunk:
1. Ensure that the area around the hood is
free of obstacles.
2. Touch the associated OPEN button on the
touchscreen, double-click the front trunk
button on the key fob accessory, or touch
the front trunk button on the mobile app.
3. Pull the hood up.
When a door or trunk/liftgate is
open, the touchscreen displays the
Door Open indicator light. The image
of your Model Y on the touchscreen
also displays the open front trunk.
Warning: Before opening or closing the
hood, it is important to check that the
area around the hood is free of obstacles
(people and objects). Failure to do so
may result in damage or serious injury.
Note: The front trunk locks whenever closed
and you lock Model Y using the touchscreen,
mobile app, key card, you leave Model Y
carrying your authenticated phone (if Walk-
Away Door Lock is turned on), or if Valet
mode is active (see Valet Mode on page 50).
Closing
The Model Y hood is not heavy enough to
latch under its own weight and applying
pressure on the front edge or center of the
hood can cause damage.
To properly close the hood:
1. Lower the hood until the striker touches
the latches.
2. Place both hands on the front of the hood
in the areas shown (in green), then press
down firmly to engage the latches.
3.
Carefully try to lift the front edge of the
hood to ensure that it is fully closed.
Caution: To prevent damage:
• Apply pressure only to the green
areas shown. Applying pressure to
the red areas can cause damage.
• Do not close the hood with one hand.
Doing so applies concentrated force
in one area and can result in a dent or
crease.
• Do not apply pressure to the front
edge of the hood. Doing so can
crease the edge.
• Do not slam or drop the hood.
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 57).
Interior Emergency Release
An illuminated interior release button inside
the front trunk allows a person locked inside
to get out.
