Child-protection Locks
Unlocking with a Dead Key Battery
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 > Settings > Child
Protection Locks.
If Model S does not unlock when you walk up to
it, or when you press the unlock button on your
key, the key’s battery may be dead. If this is the
case, you can still unlock and drive Model S.
To unlock Model S (and disable the security
alarm), position the key near the base of the
passenger side windshield wiper, as shown.
NOTE: It is recommended that you turn
child-protection locks on whenever children are
seated in the rear seats.
Drive-away Locking
Model S can automatically lock all doors
(including the trunks) whenever your driving
speed exceeds 8 km/h. To turn this feature on
or off, touch Controls > Settings > Drive-Away
Door Lock.
Walk-away Locking
To drive Model S, place the key against the
center console, immediately below the 12V
power outlet, then press the brake pedal to turn
Model S on.
If Model S is equipped with the optional tech
package, Model S doors and trunks can
automatically lock whenever you walk away
carrying the key.
For instructions on how to replace the key’s
battery, see page 2.3.
To turn this feature on or off, touch Controls >
Settings > Walk-Away Door Lock.
NOTE: Unlocking Model S using this method
disables walk-away locking. You must manually
re-enable walk-away locking after replacing the
key’s battery.
NOTE: If all doors are closed and you
double-click the key to unlock Model S,
walk-away locking is temporarily suspended
until the next time you use the key to lock
Model S. This allows you to keep Model S
unlocked in your garage.
