Unlocking When the Key Doesn't
Work
If Model S does not unlock when you walk up
to it, or when you press the unlock button on
your key, the key's battery may be dead. If
this is the case, you can still unlock and drive
Model S.
To unlock Model S (and disable the security
alarm), first position the key near the base of
the passenger side windshield wiper, as
shown. Then press the passenger door handle.
To drive Model S, place the key against the
center console, immediately below the 12V
power outlet, then press and hold the brake
pedal to turn Model S on.
For instructions on how to replace the key's
battery, see Replacing the Key Battery
page 5.
Note: It is important to position the key in the
correct position. If Model S doesn't unlock, try
adjusting the position of the key.
Note: Unlocking Model S using this method
disables walk-away locking. You must
manually re-enable walk-away locking after
replacing the key's battery.

To open the rear doors, fold back the edge of
the carpet below the rear seats to expose the

release cable toward the center.
