Tesla MODEL Y User Manual

1. Front trunk - Double-click to open 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 open 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 O on page 55). 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 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
aect the key. If this happens, move the key at
least one foot (30 cm) away from other
electronic devices (phone, laptop, etc.).
If the key fob does not work (for example, its
battery is dead), you can touch its flat side
against the card reader 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 12.
Note: You can use the same key fob with
multiple Model Y vehicles provided you
authenticate it (see Managing Keys on page
12). However, key fob works with only one
Model Y at a time. Therefore, to use a key fob
for a dierent Model Y, touch its flat side
against the card reader on the driver's side
door pillar.
Note: Model Y supports up to four dierent
key fobs.
Caution: Protect the key from impact,
high temperatures, and damage from
liquids. Avoid contact with solvents,
waxes and abrasive cleaners.
Passive Key Fob
Due market region or vehicle configuration,
Passive Key Fob may not be available for your
vehicle.
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 three
feet (one meter). 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 trunk's exterior door handle. If
Walk-Away Lock is on, your vehicle
automatically locks when you exit and senses
that the key fob is no longer in range (see
Walk-Away Door Lock on page 15). Passive
key fob is automatically enabled when you
pair your key fob to your vehicle.
The key fob can only be paired to one vehicle
at a time. If you want your key fob to passively
lock and unlock for a dierent vehicle, touch
the flat side of the key fob onto the driver's
side door pillar or center console card reader.
You only need to do this once to pair it to your
desired vehicle. You must pair your key fob
every time you use it with a dierent vehicle.
Note: Only key fobs with the TESLA logo
printed on the flat side have the passive
locking and unlocking functionality.
Note: For increased security, your key fob
disables itself after five minutes of being
stationary while in range but the vehicle is not
in use. The vehicle will not lock or unlock
passively when this occurs. Shake or press a
button on your key fob to wake it up.
