Keyless Ignition

The wireless key fob allows access to vehicle operation. See the Starting the Engine section for details.

Starting Key Fob Operation:

When the electrical system is activated by the engine start/stop button, the key fob must be within range. If the key fob is not detected, the security light will flash. The electrical system will automatically shut down.

The starter motor will not engage during this time. If a key fob is not available, a passcode can be entered using the Ride Command display (or the instrument cluster, if vehicle not equipped with Ride Command). See the Security System section for details.

Driving Key Fob Operation:

After pushing the engine start/stop button, the Wireless Control Module (WCM) will verify that the key fob is within range. The WCM will verify that the key fob is within range again once the speed of the vehicle rises above 3 mph (5 kph). If the fob is not found within 1 second, the chime activates for 6 seconds and the security light turns on. The chime does not repeat. If the fob is eventually found, the security light turns off.

NOTICE
If the key fob is lost while operating the vehicle, a passcode will be needed once engine restart is needed.

Key Fob Storage:

The key fob should not be stored near devices that can cause interference, such as radio waves, cell phones, power supplies, or magnets, during operation.

Key Fob Storage Key:

The storage box can be unlocked with a key pulled from the back of the key fob. Model S comes with a glove box lock and key, but not with rear storage locks.

Push the button 1 on the back of the key fob to remove the access the key.

Key Fob Battery Life:

WARNING
Keep the key fob and key fob battery out of reach of children. Swallowing can lead to chemical burns, perforation of soft tissue, and death. Severe burns can occur within 2 hours of ingestion. Seek medical attention immediately.
