Valet Mode - Tesla MODEL S Operating Manual

Linking a Driver Profile to a Key
You can link a driver profile to a specific key to
allow Model S to automatically select the
correct driver profile when the linked key is
detected as you approach the vehicle and
open the driver's door. To link a driver profile
to a key, enter Model S with the key and touch
the driver profile icon on the top of the
touchscreen. Select the driver profile you
would like to link to the key, then touch Link to
Key Fob.
Note: Model S only detects one key at a time.
The driver profile is linked to the key that is
detected by the vehicle at that time.
Therefore, if you want to link driver profiles to
multiple keys, ensure that only the key that
you would like to link the driver profile to is
within detection range while performing the
linking procedure. Move all other keys outside
of the detection range (at least three feet (one
meter) away from Model S).
Note: Model S can support up to three linked
keys. However, a driver profile can only be
linked to one key.
To remove the link between a driver profile
and key, touch the driver profile icon on the
top of the touchscreen. Select the driver
profile, then touch the X next to Linked to Key
Fob.

Driving
Driver Profiles
• Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are disabled. When
Model S is in Valet mode, you cannot pair
new Bluetooth devices or view or delete
existing paired devices.
Note: If a Bluetooth paired device or a
known Wi-Fi network is within operating
range (approximately 30 feet or 9 meters)
of Model S in Valet mode, Model S will
connect to it.
Starting Valet Mode
With Model S in Park, touch the driver profile
icon on the top of the touchscreen, then touch
Valet Mode.
The first time you enter Valet mode, you will
be prompted to create a 4-digit PIN that you
will use to cancel Valet mode.
When Valet mode is active, the instrument
panel displays the word Valet above the
driving speed and the Valet mode driver
profile displays on the touchscreen.
You can also use the mobile app to start and
cancel Valet mode (provided Model S is in
Park). When using the mobile app, you do not
need to enter a PIN because you are already
required to log into the app using your Tesla
Account credentials.
Note: If the PIN to Drive setting is enabled
(see PIN to Drive on page 149), you must
enter the driving PIN before you can define or
enter a Valet PIN. Once in Valet mode, Model S
can be driven without the valet needing to
enter the driving PIN.
Note: The PIN to Drive setting is not available
when Valet mode is active.
If you forget your valet PIN, reset it from
inside Model S by entering your Tesla Account
credentials (which also cancels Valet mode).
You can also reset your PIN using the mobile
app.
Canceling Valet Mode
With Model S in Park, touch the Valet Mode
driver icon on the touchscreen's status bar,
then enter your 4-digit PIN.
When you cancel Valet mode, all settings
associated with the most recently used driver
profile and climate control settings are
restored, and all features are available.
Note: You do not need to enter a PIN to cancel
Valet mode from the mobile app.
