CAUTION: Protect the key from impact, high
temperatures, and damage from liquids. Avoid contact
with solvents, waxes, and abrasive cleaners.
Passive Locking and Unlocking
Locking and unlocking Model Y 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 Y 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
liftgate's exterior door
handle. If Walk-Away Door Lock is enabled, Model Y
automatically locks when you exit and the key fob is no
longer in range (see Walk-Away Door Lock on page 27).
Passive locking and unlocking is automatically enabled when
you pair your key fob to
Model Y.
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.
Managing Keys
To display a list of all keys that can access your Model Y,
touch
Controls > Locks. An icon displays next to each key to
indicate whether the key is a phone key, key card, or key fob.
Use this list to manage keys that have access to your Model
Y.
Model Y supports up to 19 keys at a time. Four of those keys
can be key fobs. When you reach this limit, you must delete a
key before adding a new one.
You can pair a key card or key fob to multiple Tesla vehicles.
This prevents you from having to deal with multiple keys
when you switch vehicles. Key cards and key fobs can be
paired and used with many vehicles at a time. Pairing with a
vehicle enables you to access the vehicle and enable driving.
NOTE: When you pair a key fob with a vehicle, you can use
the key fob for passive entry and can also remotely unlock
doors and open trunks and front trunks. If you pair a key fob
with multiple Tesla vehicles, you can only use passive entry
and remote unlock and open with one vehicle at a time.
Choose the vehicle you want to passively enter or remotely
unlock or open by touching the flat side of the key fob
against the card reader on the driver's side door pillar.
NOTE: If you customize the name of a paired key card or key
fob on one vehicle (by touching the pencil icon), any other
vehicle to which the key card or key fob is authenticated also
displays the changed name.
NOTE: If you are leasing your vehicle, contact your leasing
company to add or remove keys.
Add a Phone Key
You can use a phone to access Model Y after you add your
phone as a phone key. Before you begin pairing your phone
key, ensure:
•
Your phone's general Bluetooth settings are enabled.
•
Bluetooth is enabled within your phone's settings for the
Tesla mobile app. For example, on your phone, navigate to
Settings, choose the Tesla mobile app, and ensure the
Bluetooth setting is turned on.
•
Access to your location is enabled. Open the Tesla mobile
app in your phone's settings and select Location > Always.
For the best experience, keep the mobile app running in
the background.
•
Allow Mobile Access is enabled on the vehicle
touchscreen (Controls > Safety > Allow Mobile Access).
NOTE: Model Y communicates with your phone using
Bluetooth. Many phones disable Bluetooth when the battery
is low. Ensure that your phone has enough battery power for
Bluetooth before you set up your phone key.
To add a phone key:
1.
Download the Tesla mobile app to your phone.
2. Log in to the Tesla mobile app using your Tesla account
username and password.
NOTE: You must remain logged in to your Tesla account to
use your phone to access
Model Y.
3. While inside or near the vehicle, open the Tesla mobile
app and touch Set Up Phone Key on the main screen, or
navigate to Security > Set Up Phone Key.
You can also use an Apple Watch as a key. While inside or
near the vehicle, open the Tesla mobile app on your Apple
Watch and touch Set Up Watch Key (see Mobile App for
Apple Watch on page 55).
4. Follow the prompts on the mobile app and vehicle
touchscreen to set up your phone key.
Model Y can connect to three phone keys simultaneously.
Therefore, if more than three phone keys are detected and
you want to authenticate or pair a different phone, move the
other connected phone key(s) out of range or turn off its
Bluetooth setting.
Adding Keys from the Touchscreen
If you have a key card or key fob that is already paired with
your vehicle, you can pair a new key using the touchscreen.
1.
On the touchscreen, touch Controls > Locks > Keys > Add
Key.
2.
Scan your new key card or key fob on the card reader
located on either wireless phone charger. When you hear
a chime, the new key card is recognized.
