Once inside, power up Model Y by pressing the brake pedal
within two minutes of scanning the key card (see
Starting and
Powering Off on page 66). If you wait longer than two
minutes, you must re-authenticate by placing the key card
near the card reader located in the wireless phone charger on
the center console. When your key card is detected, your two
minute authentication period restarts.
NOTE: If enabled, Walk-Away Door Lock (see Walk-Away
Door Lock on page 27) operates only when you walk away
using a phone key or key fob. When you walk away carrying
your key card, Model Y does not automatically unlock/lock.
NOTE: Do not leave a key card in the vehicle, even if you have
your paired phone key with you.
Key Fob
If you have purchased the key fob accessory, you can quickly
familiarize yourself with this key by thinking of it as a
miniature version of a
Model Y, with the Tesla badge
representing the front. The key has three buttons that feel
like softer areas on the surface.
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 Y by pressing the brake pedal
within two minutes of pressing the unlock button on the key
fob (see Starting and Powering Off on page 66). If you wait
longer than two minutes, you must press the unlock button
again, or place the key fob
near the card reader located in the
wireless phone charger on the center console. When your
key fob is detected, the two minute authentication period
restarts.
When approaching or leaving Model Y carrying the key fob,
you do not need to point the key fob at Model Y as you press
a button, but you must be within operating range.
Radio equipment on a similar frequency can affect 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 24.
NOTE: You can use the same key fob with multiple Model Y
vehicles provided you authenticate it (see Managing Keys on
page 23). However, key fob works with only one Model Y at a
time. Therefore, to use a key fob for a different Model Y,
touch its flat side against the card reader on the driver's side
door pillar.
