Jacking Procedure
Follow the steps below to lift Model S. Ensure
that any non-Tesla repair facility is aware of
these lifting points.
1. Position Model S centrally between the lift
posts.
2. If your Model S is equipped with Smart Air
Suspension, it automatically self-levels,
even when power is
o. Use the
touchscreen to set the suspension as
follows:
• Touch Controls > Suspension.
• Press the brake pedal, then touch
Very High to maximize the height of
the suspension.
• Touch Jack to disable self-leveling.
3. Position the lift arm pads under the
designated body lift points at the
locations shown.
Warning: DO NOT position the lift
arm pads under the Battery.
4. Adjust the height and position of the lift
arm pads to ensure that they are correctly
located.
5. With assistance, raise the lift, ensuring the
lift arm pads remain in their correct
positions.
Note: Jack mode cancels when Model S is
driven over 7 km/h.
Note:
Jack mode may be unexpectedly
enabled in situations where an object is
supporting the vehicle's weight (for example
the bumper of the vehicle is resting on a curb).
Warning: If your Model S is equipped with
Smart Air Suspension, it automatically
self-levels, even when power is o. You
MUST disable this system by engaging
Jack mode before lifting or jacking. If you
do not disable Smart Air Suspension,
Model S can attempt to self-level, causing
serious damage, bodily injury, or death.
Warning: Never raise Model S when the
charge cable is connected, even if
charging is not in progress.
Warning: Do not work on an incorrectly
supported vehicle. Doing so can cause
serious damage, bodily injury, or death.
Caution: DO NOT lift from under the
Battery. Place the lift arm pads under the
designated body lift points only. The
locations shown are the only approved
lifting points for Model S. Lifting at any
other points can cause damage. Damage
caused by incorrectly lifting Model S is
not covered by the warranty.
