Third Row Cup Holders (7-seat models only)

Glovebox
To open the glovebox, touch Controls > Glovebox. The glovebox automatically opens and the light turns on.
To close the glovebox, push it upward until it latches into the closed position.
For additional glovebox security, touch Controls > Safety > Glovebox PIN to set a 4-digit PIN (see Glovebox PIN).

It does not lock when Model Y is locked by touching the lock icon on the touchscreen.
WARNING: When driving, keep the glovebox closed to prevent injury to a passenger if a collision or sudden stop occurs.
