Tesla Y - Doors

Using Exterior Door Handles
Use your thumb to push the wide part of the door
handle. The handle pivots toward you, and you can open
the door by pulling the handle or pulling the edge of the
door.
The handle retracts automatically.
When a door or trunk is open, the
touchscreen displays the Door Open
indicator light.
You can specify that you want to unlock only the driver's
door when you shift into Park by turning on Controls >
Locks > Driver Door Unlock Mode. If o, all doors unlock
when you shift into Park.
NOTE: See Cold Weather Best Practices on page 82 to
ensure door handles function properly in cold weather.
WARNING:
While using the door handle, take care
to avoid allowing fingers, jewelry, acrylic nails, etc.
from being pinched by the door or door handle
mechanism. Failure to do so may result in damage
or injury.
Opening Doors from the Interior
Model Y doors are electrically powered. To open a door
while sitting inside, press the button located at the top
of the interior door handle and push the door open.
NOTE: To prevent children from opening the rear doors,
turn on child locks (see Child Locks on page 12).
To open a front door in the unlikely situation when
Model Y has no power, pull up the manual door release
located in front of the window switches.
NOTE: Only the front doors are equipped with a manual
door release.
CAUTION:
Manual door releases are designed to
be used only in situations when Model Y has no
power. When Model Y has power, use the button
located at the top of the interior door handle.
