- Double-click the front trunk button on the key fob.

When a door or trunk/liftgate is

Model Y 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.
The cargo weight should be distributed as evenly as
possible between the front and rear trunks.

the front trunk. Doing so can cause damage.
WARNING: When loading cargo, always consider
the vehicle's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
