Doors
Keyless Locking and Unlocking
Locking and unlocking Model S is convenient.
Although you must be carrying a valid key,
there is no need to use it. Model S has sensors
that can recognize the presence of a key
within a range of approximately three feet
(one meter). So you can keep your key in your
pocket or purse and Model S detects it.
When you walk up to Model S carrying your
key, doors automatically unlock. If a door
handle is retracted, press it and it extends. If
the Auto-Present Handles setting is turned on
(see Using Exterior Door Handles on page
6),
you do not need to touch the door
handle. Instead, door handles extends
automatically as you approach Model S. To
open the rear trunk, press the switch located
under the trunk’s exterior handle.

Trunk
Note: You can choose whether you want all
doors, or just the driver's door, to unlock when

Note: If the Door Unlock Mode is set
to Driver, double-clicking unlocks only
the driver's door and you will need to
double-click again to unlock all doors
and trunks. If set to All, thefirst
double-click unlocks all doors and
trunks. Use the touchscreen to change
this setting (touch Controls >

While sitting inside Model S, you can also lock

options selected at time of purchase, some
Model S vehicles are not equipped with the
automatic locking and unlocking feature.

Using the Key
To quickly familiarize yourself with the key,
think of the key as a miniature version of
Model S, with the Tesla badge representing
the front. The key has three buttons that feel
like softer areas on the surface.
3.
Front trunk (also called the "frunk")
•
Double-click to open the front trunk.
You do not need to point the key at Model S,
but you must be within operating range
(which varies depending on the strength of
the key’s battery).
