dashboard warning lights TESLA MODEL S 2015 Owner's Manual

Keyless Locking and Unlocking
Model S has sensors that can recognize the
presence of a key. The sensors have a range of approximately three feet (one meter).
If Model S is equipped with the optional tech package, walking up to Model S when you
have your key with you automatically unlocks
the doors. Similarly, open the trunk by just
walking up to Model S with your key, then
pressing the switch located under the trunk’s
exterior handle.
Press a door handle, and it extends. Or, if the
AUTO-PRESENT HANDLES setting is turned
on (see Using Exterior Door Handles on page
6), door handles extend automatically.
If you turn on the walk-away locking setting
using the touchscreen, Model S locks when
you walk away carrying your key with you (see Walk-away Locking on page 7).Warning: To avoid any possibility of
interference between a pacemaker and
the keyless system's antennas, people
with implanted pacemakers should
ensure their pacemaker is kept at least
nine inches (22 cm) away from any
keyless drive antenna mounted in
Model S. Antenna locations are shown
below:
1. Center of the rear bumper.
2. Under the rear seats.
3. Center console.
4. Leftmost side of the dashboard.
5. Rightmost side of the dashboard.
6. Right Hand Drive vehicles only - at the
base of the left (passenger side) windshield wiper.
7. Left Hand Drive vehicles only - at the base
of the right (passenger side) windshield
wiper.
8. Center of the front trunk.
Using the Key
To quickly familiarize yourself with the key,
think of the key as a miniature version of Model S, with the Tesla badge representing
the front. The key has three buttons that feel like softer areas on the surface.
1. Trunk
• Double-click to open the rear trunk.
• If Model S is equipped with a powered liftgate, double-click to close the rear
trunk. You can also single-click to
stop the liftgate when it is moving.
• Hold the button down for 1-2 seconds to open the charge port door.
2. Lock/Unlock All
• Double-click to unlock doors and the rear trunk. Hazard warning lights flash
twice and door handles extend.
• Single-click to lock doors and trunks (all doors and trunks must be closed).Hazard warning lights flash once and
door handles retract.
3. Front trunk (also called the "frunk")
• Double-click to open the front trunk.
You do not need to point the key at Model S,
but you must be within operating range
(which varies depending on the strength of the key’s battery). If Model S is unable to
detect the key, the touchscreen displays a
message indicating that a key is not inside. Place the key where Model S can best detectit, which is below the 12V power socket (see Key Not Inside on page 41).
