1. Front trunk - Double-click to unlatch the
front trunk.
2. Lock/Unlock All - Single-click to lock
doors and trunks (all doors and trunks
must be closed). Double-click to unlock
doors and trunks.
3. Rear trunk - Double-click to unlatch the
rear trunk. Hold down for one to two
seconds to open the charge port door.
Once inside, power up Model 3 by pressing
the brake pedal within two minutes of
pressing the unlock button on the key fob
(see
Starting and Powering O on page 56).
If you wait longer than two minutes, you must
press the unlock button again, or place the
key fob near the card reader located behind
the cup holders on the center console. When
your key fob is detected, the two minute
authentication period restarts.
When approaching or leaving Model 3
carrying the key fob, you do not need to point
the key fob at Model 3 as you press a button,
but you must be within operating range.
Radio equipment on a similar frequency can
aect the key. If this happens, move the key
at least
30 cm away from other electronic
devices (phones, laptops, etc.).
In the event that the key fob's battery is dead,
you can still use it to drive the vehicle by
scanning the key fob on the card reader
located on the driver's side door pillar (like
the key card).
Instructions for changing the battery are
provided in Replacing the Key Fob Battery on
page 10.
NOTE: You can use the same key fob with
multiple
Model 3 vehicles provided you
authenticate it (see Managing Keys on page
11). However, key fob works with only one
Model 3 at a time. Therefore, to use a key fob
for a dierent Model 3, touch its flat side
against the card reader on the driver's side
door pillar.
NOTE: Model 3 supports up to four dierent
key fobs.
CAUTION:
Protect the key from
impact, high temperatures, and
damage from liquids. Avoid contact
with solvents, waxes, and abrasive
cleaners.
Passive Locking and Unlocking
Due to market region or vehicle configuration,
passive locking and unlocking may not be
available for your vehicle.
NOTE: Only key fobs with the TESLA logo
printed on the
flat side support the passive
locking and unlocking feature. Key fobs with
the MODEL 3 logo printed on the flat side
cannot passively lock and unlock
Model 3.
Locking and unlocking Model 3 with your key
fob is conveniently hands-free. Although you
must be carrying a paired key fob, there is no
need to use it.
Model 3 has sensors around
the vehicle that can recognize the presence of
a key fob within a range of approximately two
meters. Therefore, you can keep your key fob
in your pocket or purse and simply pull on the
door handle to unlock. When carrying your
key fob with you, you can also open the trunk
without having to use the key by pressing the
rear trunk's exterior door handle. If Walk-
Away Door Lock is enabled, Model 3
automatically locks when you exit and the key
fob is no longer in range (see
Walk-Away
Door Lock on page 14). Passive locking and
unlocking is automatically enabled when you
pair your key fob to
Model 3.
Although you can use the same key fob with
multiple vehicles, it can only be paired to one
vehicle at a time. To activate a paired key fob
to a
dierent vehicle, touch the flat side onto
the driver's side door pillar and click any
button on the key fob to
confirm.
NOTE: For increased security, passive locking
and unlocking disables after being stationary
for
five minutes while within vehicle range
when the vehicle is not in use (for example,
you are standing outside your vehicle). In this
situation, you must shake or press a button on
the key fob to re-enable passive locking and
unlocking.
Replacing the Key Fob Battery
Under normal use, the accessory key fob has
a battery that lasts for up to one year,
depending on key fob version and selected
vehicle settings. When the battery is low, a
message displays on the touchscreen.
