About the Security System
If 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 > Safety > Security Alarm. When enabled, Model S activates its
alarm one minute after you exit, the doors
lock, and a recognized key is no longer
detected.
A battery-backed siren sounds in situations where a locked door or trunk is opened and
Model S does not detect a key nearby (if
equipped). If you also want this siren to sound
in situations where
Model S detects motion
inside the cabin, or is moved or tilted (for
example, with a tow truck or jack), turn on the
Tilt/Intrusion setting (touch Controls > Safety > Tilt/Intrusion) (if equipped).
NOTE: If you plan to leave something that
moves inside your locked Model S, remember
to turn off Tilt/Intrusion. If this setting is on,
any motion detected inside Model S activates
the intrusion alarm.
NOTE: If Model S is in Sentry Mode (see Sentry Mode on page 162), you must disable
Sentry Mode before you can disable the
Security alarm or the Tilt/Intrusion alarm.
NOTE: The Security Alarm must be on to
enable Tilt/Intrusion.
NOTE: The Intrusion Sensor automatically
disables in situations where the climate
control system is operating when you have
left your vehicle (see
Keep Climate On, Dog Mode, and Camp Mode on page 139). To
override, you can manually turn the Intrusion
Sensor on again after choosing Keep Climate On, Dog, or Camp Mode (touch
Controls > Safety > Tilt/Intrusion).
If your Model S is equipped with the
Enhanced Anti-Theft upgrade, the horn
sounds in situations where a locked door or trunk is opened and
Model S does not detect
a key nearby. If the Tilt/Intrusion setting is on,
the horn 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 turn the Tilt/Intrusion detection system on or
off, touch Controls > Safety > Tilt/Intrusion.
PIN to Drive
To increase security, you can prevent Model S from being driven until a 4-digit PIN (Personal Identification Number) is entered. To enable
this setting, touch Controls > Safety > PIN to Drive and follow the on-screen prompts to
create a driving PIN.
NOTE: When enabled, in addition to entering
the 4-digit driving PIN to drive, you must also
use it to enter Valet mode for the
first time
and create the 4-digit valet PIN that you can
use to enter and exit Valet mode. When in
Valet mode,
Model S can be driven without
the need for the valet to enter a driving PIN.
In addition, the
PIN to Drive setting is
disabled whenever Valet mode is active.
If you forget your driving PIN, or to disable PIN to Drive, return to this setting, touch the
link to enter your Tesla login credentials, then
follow the on-screen prompts.
NOTE: In the unlikely event that your
touchscreen is unresponsive, you may be
unable to enter the PIN. In this case,
first try
to restart the touchscreen (see Restarting the Touchscreen on page 52). If the touchscreen
is still unresponsive, you can still bypass PIN
to Drive by turning on Keyless Driving in the
Tesla mobile app.
Glovebox PIN
For additional security, you can protect the contents in your glovebox with a 4-digit PIN. To enable this setting, touch
Controls > Safety > Glovebox PIN and follow the on-
screen prompts. When enabled, you are
prompted to enter the PIN to open the
glovebox. To disable this setting, select the
toggle to disable and then enter the PIN.
If you forget your glovebox PIN, reset it by
entering your Tesla login credentials, then
follow the on-screen prompts.
NOTE: When you open the glovebox with
both Glovebox PIN and Valet mode enabled,
you are prompted for the glovebox PIN and taken out of Valet mode after the glovebox
opens.
Security Settings
161Using the Touchscreen
Sentry Mode
NOTE: Depending on market region, vehicle configuration, options purchased, and software version, your vehicle may not be equipped with Sentry Mode, or the feature may not operate exactly as described.
In Sentry Mode, cameras and sensors remain
powered on and ready to record suspicious
activity whenever
Model S is locked and in
Park.
To turn Sentry Mode on or off, touch Controls > Sentry. Alternatively, you can use voice
commands, the mobile app, or you can touch
Controls > Safety > Sentry Mode. To activate
Sentry Mode using voice commands, say
"
Keep Tesla safe", "Keep my car safe", "Sentry on", or "Enable Sentry" (for details using
voice commands, see Using Voice Commands on page 160).
NOTE: Sentry Mode requires the Battery to be
at least 20% charged. If the Battery falls
below 20%, Sentry Mode turns
off and the
mobile app sends you a notification.
NOTE: Power consumption may increase
when Sentry Mode is active.
NOTE: Software updates cannot be installed
when Sentry Mode is activated.
CAUTION: Do not rely on Sentry Mode to protect Model S from all possible security threats. While it may help deter some threats, no security system can prevent all attacks.
CAUTION: Sentry Mode may not trigger the security alarm in all situations involving damage to the vehicle. The security alarm depends upon multiple factors to be triggered and may not detect all impacts to the vehicle or may not trigger the alarm in all cases.
Standby, Alert, and Alarm States
When in Sentry Mode, Model S may go
through three states depending on its
surroundings
Removing the Maintenance
Panel
To check fluid levels, remove the maintenance
panel:
1.
Open the hood.
2.
Pull the maintenance panel upward to
release the clips that hold it in place.
CAUTION: The maintenance panel protects the front trunk from water. When re-attaching, make sure it is fully seated.
Checking Battery Coolant
Your Battery coolant should not need to be
replaced for the life of your vehicle under
most circumstances. However, if the quantity
of
fluid in the cooling system drops below the
recommended level, the instrument panel displays a warning message. Stop driving Model S as soon as safety permits and
contact Tesla.
Fluid Level Check
DO NOT REMOVE THE FILLER CAP AND DO NOT ADD FLUID. Doing so can result in damage not covered by the warranty.
Do Not Top Up Battery Coolant
WARNING: Battery coolant can be hazardous and can irritate eyes and skin. Under no circumstances should you remove the filler cap and/or add coolant. If the instrument panel warns you that the fluid level is low, contact Tesla immediately.
To maximize the performance and life of the
Battery, the cooling system uses a specific
mixture of G-48 ethylene-glycol coolant
(HOAT). Contact Tesla for more specific information about the coolant.
Checking Brake Fluid
WARNING: Contact Tesla immediately if you notice increased movement of the brake pedal or a significant loss of brake fluid. Driving under these conditions can result in extended stopping distances or complete brake failure.
A red brake indicator on the instrument panel alerts you
if the quantity of fluid in the
brake reservoir drops below
the recommended level. If it
displays while driving, stop
as soon as safety permits by
gently applying the brakes.
Do not continue driving.
Contact Tesla immediately.
Fluid Level Check
Tesla checks the brake fluid level and health
at the regularly scheduled maintenance intervals.
Topping Up the Brake Fluid
Do not top up your brake fluid. The following
instructions are provided for information purposes and future reference only:
1.
Clean the filler cap before removing it to
prevent dirt from entering the reservoir.
2.
Unscrew the cap and remove it.
3.
Top up the reservoir to the MAX mark
using the appropriate brake fluid.
4.
Replace the filler cap, ensuring it is fully
secured.
WARNING: Only use new fluid from a sealed air-tight container. Never use previously used fluid or fluid from a previously opened container
3.
Fully insert the tow eye into the opening,
then turn it counter-clockwise until
securely fastened.
4.
Attach the winch cable to the tow eye.
CAUTION: Before pulling, make sure the tow eye is securely tightened.
5.
Activate Transport Mode.
6.
Pull Model S slowly onto the flatbed truck.
Pull onto the Flatbed Truck
From Front (Without Tow Eye)
CAUTION: To avoid damage, only pull the vehicle onto a flatbed truck using a properly-installed tow eye. Using the chassis, frame, or suspension components to pull the vehicle can result in damage.
WARNING: If the vehicle is pulled onto the flatbed truck using this method, all suspension fasteners should be checked for proper torque and all components should be visually inspected for damage prior to driving the vehicle again. If a fastener is loose, or if any damage is found, the affected component(s) should be replaced.
It is strongly recommended that you connect
the winch to your vehicle
