Tesla Model Y: Adjusting Liftgate Opening Height
You can adjust the opening height of the liftgate to
make it easier to reach or to avoid low-hanging ceilings
or objects (for example, a garage door or light):
1. Open the trunk, then manually lower or raise the
liftgate to the desired opening height.
2. Press and hold the button on the underside of the
liftgate for three seconds until you hear a
confirmation chime.
3. Confirm that you have set it to the desired height by
closing the liftgate, then reopening it.
CAUTION: Depending on configuration (such as suspension height or wheel
selection), your vehicle's liftgate can open up to approximately 7.5 feet (2.3
meters) high. Adjust the liftgate height to prevent it from coming into contact
with low ceilings or other objects.
Closing
To close the liftgate, do one of the following:
- Touch the associated Close button on the touchscreen.
- Double-click the rear trunk button on the key fob.
- Press the switch located on the underside of the liftgate.
If the liftgate senses an obstruction when closing, it stops moving and
chimes two times. Remove the obstruction and try closing it again.
