EMERGENCY RESPONSE
GUIDE
This guide is intended only for use by trained and certifi ed rescuers and fi rst responders. It assumes that readers have a comprehensive understanding of how
safety systems work and have completed the appropriate training and certifi cation required to safely handle rescue situations. Therefore, this guide provides only
the specifi c information required to understand and safely handle the fully electric Model S in an emergency situation. It describes how to identify ModelS, and
provides the locations and descriptions of its high voltage components, airbags, infl ation cylinders, seat belt pre-tensioners, and high strength materials used in
its body structure. This guide includes the high voltage disabling procedure and any safety considerations specifi c to Model S. Failure to follow recommended
practices or procedures can result in serious injury or death.
The high voltage battery is the main energy source. Model S does not have a traditional gasoline or diesel engine and therefore does not have a fuel tank.
