Linking a Driver Profile to a Key
You can link a driver profile to a key (or keys) to allow Model
Y to automatically select the correct driver profile when the
linked key is detected as you approach the vehicle and open
the driver's door. To link a driver profile to a key, first ensure
you are using your desired driver profile, then touch
Controls
> Locks > Keys. You can toggle the driver icon to link or
delete a key to the desired driver profile. The name of the
driver profile appears under the key to show that it is linked.
NOTE: Model Y supports up to 10 driver profiles. You can link
multiple keys to a driver profile, but you cannot link multiple
driver profiles to a single key.
Easy Entry
You can define an Easy Entry setting that moves the steering
wheel and driver's seat to make it easy to enter and exit
Model Y. Any driver can use the Easy Entry setting by
associating it with their driver profile. When the Easy Entry
setting is associated with a driver profile, the steering wheel
and driver's seat automatically adjust when in Park and the
driver's seat belt is unbuckled, allowing an easy exit from
(and next entrance into) Model Y. When returning to the
vehicle and stepping on the brake pedal, settings
automatically adjust back to the settings used by the most
recent driver profile (or based on the key if it's linked to a
driver profile).
To use Easy Entry with a driver profile, ensure the Use Easy
Entry box is checked.
WARNING: Never use Easy Entry to move the driver's
seat to the full rearward position when a child safety
seat is installed on a rear seat located behind the
driver's seat. With reduced clearance, the movement of
the seat may impact a child's legs, cause injury, or
dislodge the seat.
Valet Mode
When Model Y is in Valet mode, the following restrictions
apply:
•
Key card must be used to access and drive Model Y.
•
Speed is limited to 113 km/h.
•
Maximum acceleration and power are limited.
•
Front trunk and glovebox are locked.
•
Home and Work locations are not available in the
navigation system.
•
Voice commands are disabled.
•
Text messages are not displayed.
•
Autopilot convenience features are disabled.
•
The Allow Mobile Access setting cannot be changed.
•
HomeLink (if available in your market region) is not
accessible.
• Driver Profiles are not accessible.
• Some apps, such as Toybox and Theater, are not
accessible.
• The touchscreen does not display the list of keys that can
access Model Y (see Managing Keys on page 23).
• Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are disabled. When Model Y is in
Valet mode, you cannot pair new Bluetooth devices or
view or delete existing paired devices. However, if a
Bluetooth-paired device or a known Wi-Fi network is
within range,
Model Y connects to it.
Starting Valet Mode
With Model Y in Park, touch Controls > Safety > Valet Mode,
or touch the driver profile icon at the top of the Controls
screen, then touch Valet Mode.
The first time you enter Valet mode, the touchscreen
prompts you to create a 4-digit PIN you will use to cancel
Valet mode.
When Valet mode is active, the touchscreen displays the
word Valet while the driver profile changes to Valet Mode on
the touchscreen.
You can also use the mobile app to start and cancel Valet
mode (if Model Y is in Park). When using the mobile app, you
do not need to enter a PIN because you are already required
to log into the app using your Tesla Account credentials.
NOTE: If PIN to Drive is enabled (see PIN to Drive on page
127), you must enter the driving PIN before you can define or
enter a Valet PIN. Once in Valet mode, Model Y can be driven
without the valet needing to enter the driving PIN.
NOTE: The PIN to Drive setting is not available when Valet
mode is active.
If you forget your valet PIN, reset it from inside Model Y by
entering your Tesla Account credentials (which also cancels
Valet mode). You can also reset your PIN using the mobile
app.
WARNING: Do not use Valet mode when towing a
trailer. The torque limitations of Valet mode can make it
difficult for Model Y to pull a trailer up a hill.
Canceling Valet Mode
With Model Y in Park, touch the Valet Mode driver profile
icon at the top of the Controls screen, and enter your 4-digit
PIN.
When you cancel Valet mode, all settings associated with the
most recently used driver profile and climate control settings
are restored, and all features are available.
NOTE: You do not need to enter a PIN to cancel Valet mode
from the mobile app.
