Using Exterior Door Handles

A light press on a door handle extends it,

provided Model S detects a valid key nearby.

You can set the door handles to extend

automatically whenever you approach the

driver’s side carrying the key. On the

touchscreen, touch Controls > Settings >

Vehicle > Auto-Present Handles > On.

Note: Depending on date of manufacture and

options selected at time of purchase, some

Model S vehicles are not equipped with Auto-

Present Handles.

Insert your hand into the handle and pull to

open the door.

Door handles retract if you do not use them

within one minute after they extend. Just

press a handle to extend it again. Door

handles also retract a minute after the last

door closes, when Model S begins moving,

and when you lock Model S.

Note: To preserve battery life, Model S is

designed to temporarily disable the Auto-

Present Handles feature when:

• The key has been out of range for more

than 48 hours.

• The key remains within range for

ﬁve

minutes after all doors have been closed.

In these cases, extend the handles by touching

the driver’s door handle or pressing the unlock

button on the key. There is no need to reset

the setting. The next time you approach

Model S, provided the above conditions do

not apply, handles automatically extend.

Whenever a door is open, the Door

Open indicator displays on the

instrument panel. The image of the

Model S on the touchscreen Controls

window also shows which door or

trunk is open.

Opening Doors from the Interior

To open a door, pull the interior door handle

toward you.

Note: If Model S is locked, the ﬁrst pull unlocks

the associated door, and the second pull

opens it.

Note: To prevent children from opening rear

doors using the interior handles, use the

touchscreen, Controls > Settings > Vehicle >

Child Protection Lock, to turn on the child-

protection locks (see Child-protection Lock on

page 7).

Interior Locking and Unlocking

From inside Model S, you can use the

touchscreen to lock or unlock doors and

trunks, provided a valid key is inside the

vehicle. Touch the lock icon on the

touchscreen's status bar.

When you stop Model Sand engage the Park

gear, you can choose whether you want doors

to unlock or remain locked. To do so, touch

Controls > Settings > Vehicle > Unlock On

Park. When set to ON, doors automatically

unlock when you engage the Park gear.

You can also unlock doors and present

handles by pressing the Park button on the

end of the gear selector a second time (i.e.

after pressing it once to engage the Park

gear).

Note: If a door or trunk is still open when you

lock Model S, it locks when you close it.
