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 ( Controls > Quick Controls ),
double-click the front trunk button on the key, or touch the front trunk button on the
mobile app.
3. Pull the hood up.
When a door or trunk/liftgate is
open, the instrument panel displays
the Door Open indicator light. The
image of your Model S 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 S using either the
touchscreen or externally using the key or
mobile app, you leave Model S carrying your key (if Walk-Away Locking on page 12 is
turned on), or when Valet mode is active (see Valet Mode on page 46).

latch under its own weight and applying pressure on the front edge or center of the
hood can cause damage.

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.

In the second row, install ISOFIX child safety
seats in the outboard seating positions only.
Use only a seat belt retained seat in the center
position.
To install a ISOFIX child safety seat, slide the
safety seat latches onto the anchor bars until
they click into place. Carefully read and follow
the instructions provided by the child safety
seat manufacturer.
Once installed, test the security of the installation before seating a child. Attempt to twist the child safety seat from side to side
and try to pull it away from the seat, then
check to ensure the anchors remain securely
in place.
Note: Lower ISOFIX anchors should not be
used with child seats or booster seats that
have an integrated safety belt in situations
where the combined weight of the child plus
the child restraint is more than 33 kg. In these situations, use the safety belt instead.
Attaching Upper Tether Straps
If an upper tether strap is provided, attach its
hook to the anchor point located on the back of the rear seats.
Note: The location of anchor points may not
be readily visible but can be found by
identifying a slice in the seat

Vehicle Loading
Load Capacity Labeling It is important to understand how much
weight your Model S can safely carry. This weight is called the vehicle capacity weight
and includes the weight of all occupants,
cargo and any additional equipment added to your Model S since it was manufactured.
Two labels attached to the center door pillar
indicate how much weight Model S can safely
carry. Labels are visible when the front door is
open.
1. Tire and Loading Information Label
2. Statutory Plate
Warning: Overloading Model S has an
adverse effect on braking and handling,
which can compromise your safety or
cause damage.Caution: Never load more than 300 lbs
(136 kg) in the front trunk. Doing so can
cause damage.Caution: Never load more than 175 lbs (80
kg) on the rear load
Page 175 of 207
Calculating Load Limits
1. Locate the statement “The combined
weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg” on the “Tire and
Loading Information” label.
2. Determine the combined weight of all
occupants that will ride in the vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of the
occupants from XXX kg (see Step 1).
4. The resulting figure equals the available
cargo load capacity. For example, if the
“XXX” amount equals 635 kg and there
will be five 68 kg passengers in the
vehicle, the amount of available cargo
capacity is 295 kg (635
