touchscreen displays a message indicating that a key is not inside. Place the key where

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

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

for five minutes after you exit the vehicle and
close all doors, Walk-Away Lock disables and will not lock when you leave with the key. You
will need to manually lock your vehicle until after your next drive.
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
