Child-Protection Lock
Model S has child-protection locks on the rear
doors and liftgate to prevent them from being
opened using interior handles. Use the
touchscreen to turn child-protection locks on
or off. Touch Controls > Vehicle > Child-
Protection Lock .
Note: It is recommended that you turn child-
protection locks on whenever children are
seated in the rear seats.
Drive Away Locking
Model S automatically locks all doors
(including the trunks) whenever your driving
speed exceeds 8 km/h.
Walk-Away Locking Doors and trunks automatically lock whenever
you walk away carrying the key or if the key is
otherwise not detected by your vehicle (not
present, dead battery, etc.).
To turn this feature on or off, touch Controls >
Vehicle > Walk-Away Door Lock .
Note: Depending on date of manufacture and
options selected at time of purchase, some Model S vehicles are not equipped with the
Walk-Away Locking.
Note: If all doors are closed and you use the
key to unlock Model S, walk away locking is
temporarily suspended for one minute. If you
open a door within this minute, it does not re-
lock until after all the doors are closed and you have walked away with the key.
Note: If your vehicle was unlocked using the
mobile app, it automatically locks after a short
period of time with all doors closed. If parking
in an area without cellular service, such as an
indoor parking garage, ensure that you have a
functional key fob readily available.Unlocking When the Key Doesn

Active Hood
How Active Hood Works Some Model S vehicles (depending on market
region and date of manufacture) feature a
pedestrian protection system with an Active
Hood that is designed to reduce head injuries
to pedestrians and cyclists in a frontal
collision. Multiple sensors at the front of the
vehicle are designed to detect impact with a
pedestrian when Model S is moving between
approximately 19 and 53 km/h, and raise the
rear portion of the hood automatically
approximately 80 mm. This increases the space between the hood and components
beneath it, reducing the likelihood of injuries.
Note: The pedestrian protection system relies
on a series of sensors and algorithms
designed and calibrated to determine when
Active Hood should deploy. Therefore, not all
pedestrian collisions will lead to a deployment.
Similarly, the Active Hood may deploy if
Model S collides with an animal, vehicle, or other object.
If Active Hood has been deployed, the
instrument panel displays an alert and a chime sounds. Immediately take Model S to thenearest Tesla Service Center. Active Hood

Maintenance
Maintenance Schedule
Service Intervals
Your vehicle should generally be serviced on an as-needed basis. However, Tesla
recommends the following maintenance items
and intervals, as applicable to your vehicle, to ensure continued reliability and efficiency of
your Model S.

Punctured Tires
A puncture eventually causes the tire to lose pressure, which is why it is important to check
tire pressures frequently. Permanently repair
or replace punctured or damaged tires as
soon as possible.
Your tubeless tires may not leak when
penetrated, provided the object remains in the tire. If, however, you feel a sudden vibration or
ride disturbance while driving, or you suspect a tire is damaged, immediately reduce yourspeed. Drive slowly, while avoiding heavy
braking or sharp steering and, when safe to do so, stop the vehicle. Arrange to have Model S
transported to a Tesla Service Center, or to a nearby tire repair center.
Note: In some cases, you can temporarily
repair small tire punctures (under 6 mm) using
an optional tire repair kit available from Tesla.
This allows you to slowly drive Model S to Tesla or to a nearby tire repair facility.Warning: Do not drive with a punctured
tire, even if the puncture has not caused the tire to de
