About your keys and handsets
Caution: The handset (key fob)
contains delicate electronic circuits
and must be protected from impact, water
damage and high temperatures. Avoid
contact with solvents, waxes and abrasive
cleaners.
You have been supplied with three keys.
Two of the keys have integral remote
handsets.
The handset buttons operate as follows:
1.
Lock button.
2.
Unlock button.
3.
Trunk release/panic alarm button.
Keep the third key in a secure place for
use in emergencies. If you lose a key,
contact Tesla Motors to obtain a
replacement.
Using the handset
The buttons on the handset transmit a
coded radio signal to a receiver in your
vehicle. It is not necessary to point the
handset at your vehicle, but you must be
within operating range and you must hold
the button down for two seconds. The
operating range will vary according to the
condition of the handset battery and
other physical factors.
If the vehicle can not be locked or
unlocked using the associated button on
the handset, you may need to change the
battery in the handset. See Replacing the
handset battery, page 4-3.
Note:
Interference from other radio
equipment operating on a similar
frequency may affect the operation of the
handset. If this happens, operate the
handset as close to your vehicle as

possible. If you are still unable to unlock
your vehicle with the handset, use the
emergency key lock. See Emergency
unlocking, page 4-5.
Locking
WARNING: Never leave anyone in
your vehicle when it is locked using
the handset. Operation of the exterior
door release handles is inhibited, which
will delay access in an emergency.
▲
Press the Lock button on the handset to
lock the doors and arm the alarm.
Note:
The glove box will also be locked.
The turn signals will flash once and the
security indicator in the instrument panel
will illuminate and then continue to flash
while the vehicle is locked.
If a door, the bonnet or the trunk are not
fully closed when the Lock button is
pressed, the turn signals will not flash and
your vehicle is not armed. Check that the
doors, bonnet and trunk are fully closed,
then try again.
If the doors, bonnet or trunk are opened
after the alarm has been set, the horn will
sound and the turn signals will flash for 30
seconds. See Alarm system, page 4-7.
