Jacking and Lifting
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 off. Use the
touchscreen to set the suspension as
follows:
•
•
Touch Controls > Driving.
Press the brake pedal, then touch
Very High to maximize the height of
the suspension.
•
Touch Jack to disable self-leveling.
When Jack mode is active,
Model S displays this indicator
light on the instrument panel,
along with a message telling
you that active suspension is
disabled.
Note: Jack mode cancels when Model S is
driven over 4.5 mph (7 km/h).
3.
Position the lift arm pads under the body
rails at the locations illustrated. DO NOT
position the lift arm pads under the
Battery.
Adjust the height and position of the lift
arm pads to ensure they are correctly
located.
With assistance, raise the lift, ensuring the
lift arm pads remain in their correct
positions.
Warning: If your Model S is equipped with
Smart Air Suspension, it automatically
self-levels, even when power is off. 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.

5.
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
support 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
body rails only. The locations illustrated
are the only approved lifting points for
Model S. Lifting at any other points can
cause damage. Damage caused by lifting
Model S is not covered by the warranty.
