2017 TESLA MODEL S key 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
43).
Radio equipment on a similar frequency can
affect the key. If this happens, move the key at
least one foot (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

About the Security System
If Model S does not detect a key nearby and a
locked door or trunk is opened, an alarm sounds and headlights and turn signals
flash.To deactivate the alarm, press any button on the key.
To manually enable or disable the alarm
system, touch Controls > Settings > Safety &
Security > Alarm . When set to on, Model S
activates its alarm one minute after the doors
lock and a recognized key is no longer
detected nearby.
If Model S is equipped with the optional
security package, it includes a battery-backed
siren that sounds instead of the horn in situations where a locked door or trunk isopened and Model S does not detect a key
nearby. If the Tilt/Intrusion setting is on, the siren also sounds if Model S detects motioninside the cabin, a window is broken, or if it is
moved or tilted (for example, with a tow truck
or jack). To turn the tilt/ intrusion detection systems on or
off, touch Controls > Settings
> Safety & Security > Tilt/Intrusion .
Note: If you plan to leave something that
moves, such as a dog, inside your locked
Model S, remember to turn
off the tilt/
intrusion system. Any type of motion detected
inside Model S activates the siren.
Note: To turn on Tilt/Intrusion, the Alarm must
be ON.
