• An authenticated phone or paired key fob
is detected inside Model Y.
• You are not using an authenticated phone
or paired key fob as the key, and walk
away carrying the key card or unpaired
key fob (see Passive Key Fob on page 11).
When using the key card you must
manually lock Model Y by tapping the key
card against the door pillar. When using
an unpaired key fob (sold as an
accessory), you must manually lock Model
Y by pressing the lock button. See Keys on
page 9.
• A door or trunk is not fully closed.
Note: If all doors are closed and Model Y was
automatically unlocked by your authenticated
phone or paired key fob, walk-away locking is
temporarily suspended for one minute. If you
open a door within this minute, it will not re-
lock until all the doors are closed and you
have walked away with the authenticated
phone or paired key fob.
Note: If Model Y detects an authenticated key
for five minutes after you exit the vehicle and
close all doors, Walk-Away Lock disables and
will not lock when you leave with the key. You
will need to manually lock your vehicle until
after your next drive.
Drive Away Locking
Model Y automatically locks all doors
(including the trunks) whenever your driving
speed exceeds 5 mph (8 km/h).

doors to prevent them from being opened

Note: It is recommended that you turn child-
protection locks on whenever children are
seated in the rear seats.
