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
different vehicle.
NOTE: Only key fobs with the TESLA logo
printed on the flat side have the passive
locking and unlocking functionality. Key fobs
with the MODEL 3 logo printed on the flat
side cannot passively lock and unlock your
vehicle.
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.
Replacing the Key Fob Battery
Under normal use, the accessory key fob
(available at https://shop.tesla.com ) has a
battery that lasts for up to five years,
depending on key fob version and selected
vehicle settings. When the battery is low, a
message displays on the touchscreen.
To replace the key fob battery:
1. With the key fob placed button side
down on a soft surface, release the bottom
cover.
2. Remove the battery by lifting it away
from the retaining clips.
3. While avoiding touching the battery's flat
surfaces, insert the new battery (type
CR2032) with the ‘ + ’ side facing up.
NOTE: CR2032 batteries can be purchased
through online retailers, local supermarkets,
and drug stores.
4. Holding the bottom cover at an angle,
align the tabs on the cover with the
corresponding slots on the key fob, then
press the cover firmly onto the key fob until
it snaps into place.
5. Test that the key fob works by unlocking
and locking your vehicle.
Attaching a Lanyard
To attach a lanyard, release the bottom cover
as described above. Place the lanyard over
the pin located between the slots on the
widest side of the key fob. Re-align the cover
and snap into place.
