Model S | 2014 Emergency Response Guide

2014 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 Model S, 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.

Cutting, crushing or touching high voltage components can result in serious injury or death. 3

HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY EMERGENC Model S is equipped with a ﬂ oor-mounted 400 volt lithium-ion high voltage battery. Never breach the high voltage battery when lifting from under the vehicle. When using rescue tools, pay special attention to ensure that you do not breach the ﬂ oor pan.

Cutting, crushing or touching high voltage components can result in serious injury or death. 4

DC-DC CONVERTER AND FRONT JUNCTION BOX EMERGENC High voltage is present at the DC-DC converter and front junction box, located behind the front trunk. The DC-DC converter transforms the high voltage current from the 400 volt battery to low voltage to charge the Model S 12 volt battery. The front junction box provides power to various components, such as the Battery heater, the air conditioning compressor and the cabin heater. Use caution when cutting in this area during a dash lift (dash roll) procedure—use work-around techniques, if necessary.

L O W V 12V BATTERY EMERGENC O L T A In addition to the high voltage system, Model S has a low voltage system, powered by a traditional 12 volt battery. The low voltage GE S system operates the same electrical components found in conventional vehicles, including the supplementary restraint system (SRS), airbags, ignition, touchscreen, and interior and exterior lights. Y Y RESPONSE GUIDE S The low voltage system interacts with the high voltage system. The DC-DC converter supplies the 12V battery with power to support TEM low voltage functions, and the 12V battery supplies power to the high voltage contacts to allow power to ﬂ ow out of the high voltage battery.
