Vehicle security
Alarm system
Your vehicle is equipped with an anti-theft
alarm system. The alarm is switched on
automatically when you lock the doors
with the handset. The turn signals flash
once to confirm that your vehicle is locked
and an audible tone will also be heard
from inside the vehicle.
The alarm indicator in the instrument
panel flashes red whenever the alarm is
active.
Once activated, the alarm monitors the
opening of the following areas:
• Bonnet
• Doors
• Trunk
Whenever the alarm is active, the horn will
sound if a protected area is opened or the
starter switch is turned to the ON position.
To switch off the alarm, press the Unlock
button on the handset.
Note: If the doors are unlocked with the
handset, they will automatically re-lock if
neither the trunk or a door is opened
within two minutes of the Unlock button
being pressed.
Alarm indicator
An indicator on the instrument panel
shows the current status of the alarm.
Flashing red - doors are locked and
the alarm system is active.
Green - doors are locked but the
alarm system is not active.
If the vehicle didn’t lock
Caution: Always check that the
doors are locked before leaving the
vehicle.
If the vehicle doesn’t lock when you press
the Lock button on the handset, the turn
signals will not flash. Check that both
doors, the bonnet and the trunk are fully
closed before pressing the Lock button
again. If the problem persists, contact
Tesla Motors or an authorised repairer.
Switching off the alarm
If the alarm is triggered, the horn will
sound for 30 seconds and the turn signals
will flash to attract attention. To silence
the alarm, press the Unlock button on the
handset.
Security PIN
The security PIN (Personal Identification
Number) is used to activate or deactivate
the valet mode feature. Valet mode can be
selected from the touch screen’s parked
screen. See Valet mode, page 4-9.
Note: The parked screen is active
whenever the hand brake is engaged.
The default PIN code is 1234. Tesla Motors
strongly recommends that you change
this to a unique PIN code.
Note: If you sell your vehicle, please
inform the new owner of the PIN code as
this will be required to allow them to
change the PIN code.
