Interior Overview
5Overview

CAUTION: Manual door releases are designed to
be used only in situations when Model S has no
power. When Model S has power, use the button
located at the top of the interior door handle.
Interior Locking and Unlocking
While sitting inside Model S, you can lock and unlock all
doors and trunks by touching the lock icon
in Controls.
The icon changes to indicate whether
doors are locked or unlocked.
Walk-Away Door Lock
Doors and trunks can automatically lock when you walk away carrying your phone key or paired key fob. 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 when Model S locks, touch Controls
> Locks > Lock Confirmation Sound.
Model S does not automatically lock if:

Controlling Lights
Touch Controls > Lights to control the lights.
NOTE: You can also access an abbreviated lights menu
while driving by touching the High Beam button on the
steering yoke (or steering wheel). A lights menu displays
on the touchscreen, providing quick access to headlight controls.
In addition to the lights that you can control from the
touchscreen,
Model S has convenience lights that turn
on and
off automatically based on what you are doing.
For example, interior lights, marker lights, tail lights, and
puddle lights turn on when you unlock
Model S, when
you open a door, and when you shift into Park. They turn
off automatically after a minute or two or when you shift
or lock
Model S.
Exterior Lights
Exterior lights (headlights, tail lights, side marker lights,
parking lights, and license plate lights) are set to
Auto
each time you start Model S. When set to Auto, exterior
lights automatically turn on when driving in low lighting
conditions. If you change to a
different setting, lights
always revert to
Auto on your next drive.
