3. Rear trunk - Double-click to open the rear trunk. Hold down for one to two seconds to open the
charge port door.
Once inside, power up Model Y by pressing the brake
pedal within two minutes of pressing the unlock button
on the key fob (see
Starting and Powering Off on page
49). If you wait longer than two minutes, you must
press the unlock button again, or place the key fob near
the card reader located behind the cup holders on the center console. When your key fob is detected, the two
minute authentication period restarts.
When approaching or leaving Model Y carrying the key
fob, you do not need to point the key fob at
Model Y as
you press a button, but you must be within operating range.
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 fob does not work (for example, its battery is dead), you can touch its
flat side against the card
reader on the driver

NOTE: Only the front doors are equipped with a manual
door release.
CAUTION: Manual door releases are designed to
be used only in situations when Model Y has no
power. Whenever Model Y has power, use the
button located at the top of the interior door
handle.
Interior Locking and Unlocking
While sitting inside Model Y, you can lock and unlock all
doors and trunks by touching the lock icon on the touchscreen.
The icon changes to indicate whether
doors are locked or unlocked.
You can also unlock the doors by pressing the Park
button on the end of the drive stalk a second time.
Pressing this button once engages the Park gear and pressing it again unlocks the doors.
Walk-Away Door Lock
Doors and trunks can automatically lock whenever you walk away carrying your authenticated phone or paired key fob (if ordered after approximately October 1,
2019). To turn this feature on or
off, touch Controls >
Locks > Walk-Away Door Lock.
When the doors lock, the exterior lights flash once and
the mirrors fold (if Fold Mirrors is on). To also hear a
confirmation sound whenever Model Y locks, touch
Controls > Locks > Lock Confirmation Sound > ON.
Model Y does not automatically lock if:

person is inside.
WARNING: Care should be taken to ensure that
objects inside the front trunk do not bump against
the release button, causing the trunk to
accidentally open.
Opening Hood with No Power
In the unlikely event that Model Y has no 12V power, you
will be unable to open the front trunk using the touchscreen, key fob, or mobile app. To open the front trunk in this situation:
NOTE: The following will not open the front trunk if

expose both terminals.
