Keyless Locking and Unlocking
Locking and unlocking Model S is convenient. Although
you must be carrying a valid key, there is no need to use
it.
Model S has sensors around the driver's door that
can recognize the presence of a key within a range of
approximately
one meter. So, you can keep your key in
your pocket or purse and Model S detects it as you
approach.
When you walk up to Model S carrying your key, the
doors automatically unlock if Passive Entry is on
(
Controls > Safety & Security > Passive Entry). If a door
handle is retracted, press it and it extends. If the Auto-
Present Handles setting is turned on (see Using
Exterior Door Handles on page 11), you do not need
to touch the door handle. Instead, door handles extends
automatically as you approach Model S. To open the
rear trunk, press the switch located under the trunk’s
exterior handle.
NOTE: Model S must detect your key near the driver's
door before the doors or rear trunk unlock.
NOTE: If Passive Entry is o, you must use the key to
unlock
Model S. See Using the Key on page 10.
NOTE: You can choose whether you want all doors, or
just the driver's door, to unlock when you approach
Model S carrying your key (see Door Unlock Mode on
page 12).
When carrying your key with you, you can also open
the rear trunk without having to use the key. Simply
press the switch located under the trunk’s exterior
handle. Driver Door Unlock Mode (see
Door Unlock
Mode on page 12) must be o and the vehicle must
detect the key near the driver's door before opening
the rear trunk.
Model S also locks automatically. If you enable Walk
Away Door Lock, Model S locks when you walk away
carrying your key with you (see Walk-Away Locking on
page 12).
While sitting inside Model S, you can also lock and
unlock the vehicle by touching the icon on the
touchscreen's status bar or by touching
Controls >
Quick Controls.
NOTE: Depending on date of manufacture and options
selected at time of purchase, some Model S vehicles are
not equipped with the automatic locking and unlocking
feature.
Using the Key
To quickly familiarize yourself with the key, think of the
key as a miniature version of Model S, with the Tesla
badge representing the front. The key has three buttons
that feel like softer areas on the surface.
1.
Trunk
◦ Double-click to open the rear trunk.
◦ If equipped with a powered liftgate, double-click
to close the rear trunk. You can also single-click to
stop the liftgate when it is moving.
◦ Hold the button down for one to two seconds to
open the charge port door.
2. Lock/Unlock All
◦ Single-click to lock doors and trunks (all doors and
trunks must be closed). Hazard warning lights flash
once and door handles retract. If a door or the rear
trunk is open, hazard warning lights flash three
times and doors do not lock.
◦ Double-click to unlock. Hazard warning lights flash
twice and door handles extend. If a door or the rear
trunk is open, hazard warning lights
flash three
times and doors do not lock.
3. Front trunk
◦ Double-click to open the front trunk.
You do not need to point the key at Model S, but you
must be within operating range (which varies
depending on the strength of the key’s battery).
If Model S is unable to detect the key, the touchscreen
displays a message indicating that a key is not inside.
Place the key where Model S can best detect it, which is
below the 12V power socket (see
Key Not Inside on
page 44).
Radio equipment on a similar frequency can aect the
key. If this happens, move the key at least 30 cm away
from other electronic devices (phone, laptop, etc). If the
key does not work, you may need to change its battery.
If the key’s battery is discharged, you can open
Model S
by following the unlocking procedure (see Unlocking
When the Key Doesn't Work on page 13).
