Summary

Tesla and eight other automakers will add warning labels to help drivers locate manual door releases, which are often difficult to find. The labels are part of a federal safety rule requiring clearer instructions. The change aims to improve emergency access in vehicles. The requirement applies to all new cars sold in the U.S. The labels will be placed near door handles and in owner manuals.
