You can also use the Model S mobile app to
start and cancel Valet Mode (provided Model S is in Park). When using the mobile
app, you do not need to enter a PIN because
you are already required to log into the app using your MY TESLA credentials.
Note: If you forget your PIN, reset it from
inside Model S by entering your My Tesla
credentials (which also cancels Valet Mode). You can also reset your PIN using the Model S
mobile app.Warning: Do not use Valet mode when
towing a trailer. Torque limitations can make it
difficult for Model X to pull a
trailer up a hill.
Cancelling Valet Mode
With Model S in Park, touch the Valet Mode
