The turn signals stop operating when canceledby the steering wheel, or when you return the
lever to the central position.
The corresponding turn signal
indicator lights up on the instrument
panel when a turn signal is
operating. You also hear a clicking
sound.Warning: If you have purchased the
optional Enhanced Autopilot or Full Self-
Driving Capability packages and
Traffic-
Aware Cruise Control is active, engaging
a turn signal can cause Model S to accelerate when using
Traffic-AwareCruise Control in specific situations (see
Overtake Acceleration on page 79).
Warning: If you have purchased the

Driving Capability packages and
Autosteer is active, engaging a turn signal
may cause Model S to change lanes (see
Auto Lane Change on page 85).

lever up or down against the spring pressure,
then release. The corresponding turn signal
flashes three times.
Hazard Warning Flashers

About the Security SystemIf Model S does not detect a key nearby and a
locked door or trunk is opened, an alarm sounds and the 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 you exit,
the doors lock, and a recognized key is no
longer detected.
If your Model S is equipped with the optional security package, it includes a battery-backed
siren that sounds in situations where a locked door or trunk is opened and Model S does notdetect a key nearby. If the Tilt/Intrusion
setting is on, the siren also sounds if Model S
detects motion inside the cabin or if the
vehicle is moved or tilted (for example, with a
tow truck or jack). To temporarily turn the Tilt/
Intrusion detection system
off, touch
Controls > Settings > Safety & Security > Tilt/
Intrusion > OFF . The Tilt/Intrusion setting is
enabled every time Model S is unlocked.
Note: If you plan to leave something that
moves, such as a dog, inside your locked
Model S, remember to turn
off Tilt/Intrusion .
Motion detected inside Model S activates the
siren.
Note: The Alarm must be on to enable Tilt/
Intrusion .

Opening the Charge Port
The charge port is located on the left side of
Model S, behind a door that is part of the rear
tail light assembly. Park so that the charge
cable easily reaches the charge port.
With Model S unlocked (or a recognized key is
within range) and in Park, press and release
the button on the Tesla charge cable to open the charge port door.
Note: If the charge cable is in range of the
charge port door, you can press the button on the charge cable to open the charge port door
even when Model S is locked or a recognized
key is not in range.
You can also open the charge port door using
any of these methods:

Service Intervals
Regular maintenance is the key to ensuring
the continued reliability and
efficiency of your
Model S.
Rotate the tires every 10,000 km. Maintain the
correct tire pressures, and take Model S to Tesla at the regularly scheduled maintenance
intervals of every 12 months, or every
20,000 km, whichever comes
first. It is also
important to perform the daily and monthly
checks described below.
Model S should be serviced by
Tesla-certifiedtechnicians. Damages or failures caused by
maintenance or repairs performed by non- Tesla
certified technicians are not covered by
the warranty.
