IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS This document contains important instructions and warnings that must be followed when handling Model S in an emergency situation. WARNINGS Warning: Always use appropriate tools, such as a hydraulic cutter, and always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when cutting Model S. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious injury or death. Warning: Regardless of the disabling procedure you use, ALWAYS ASSUME THAT ALL HIGH VOLTAGE COMPONENTS ARE ENERGIZED! Cutting, crushing, or touching high voltage components can result in serious injury or death. Warning: After deactivation, the high voltage circuit requires 2 minutes to de-energize. Warning: The supplemental restraint system (SRS) control unit has a backup power supply with a discharge time of approximately ten seconds. Do not touch the SRS control unit within 10 seconds of an airbag or pre-tensioner deployment. Warning: Handling a submerged vehicle without appropriate PPE can result in serious injury or death. Warning: When fire is involved, consider the entire vehicle energized and DO NOT TOUCH any part of the vehicle. Always wear full PPE, including self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Warning: When cutting the front trunk first responder loop, double cut to remove an entire section. This eliminates the risk of the cut wires accidentally reconnecting. 2
