OPENING AND CLOSING
DoorsKeyless Locking and Unlocking
Model S has sensors that can recognize the
presence of a key. The sensors are located at
each end of the dash panel and behind the rear
bumper, and have a range of approximately
three feet (one meter).
If Model S is equipped with the optional tech
package, walking up to Model S when you have
your key with you automatically unlocks the
doors. Similarly, open the trunk by just walking
u p to M o de l S w it h yo ur key w i t h yo u an d p re ss
the switch located under the trunk’s exterior
handle.
Press a door handle, and it extends. Or, if the
AUTO-PRESENT HANDLES setting is turned on
(see page 2.4), door handles extend
automatically when Model S unlocks.
If you turn on the walk-away locking setting
using the touchscreen, Model S locks when you
walk away carrying your key with you (see
page 2.5).
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.Tr u n k
•Double-click to open the rear trunk.
•If Model S is 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.
2.Lock/Unlock All
•Double-click to unlock doors and the rear
trunk. Hazard warning lights flash twice
and door handles extend.
•Single-click to lock doors and trunks (all
d o o r s a n d t r u n k s m u s t b e c l o s e d ) . H a z a r d
warning lights flash once and door
handles retract.
•Press and hold to lower all windows.
3. Front trunk (also called the “frunk”)
•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 page 4.6).
Radio equipment on a similar frequency can
affect the key. If this happens, move the key at
least 30 cm away from other electronic devices
(phone, laptop, etc).
