Valet Mode
When Model S is in Valet mode, the following
restrictions apply:
• Speed is limited to 70 mph (113 km/h).
• Maximum acceleration and power are limited.
• Front trunk and glovebox are locked.
• Home and Work locations are not available in the
navigation system.
• Voice commands are disabled.
• Autopilot convenience features are disabled.
• The Allow Mobile Access setting cannot be changed
• HomeLink (if available in your market region) is not
accessible.
• Driver Profiles are not accessible.
• 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. However, if
a Bluetooth-paired device or a known Wi-Fi network
is within range, Model S connects to it.
Starting Valet Mode
With Model S in Park, touch the driver profile icon at the
top of the touchscreen, then touch Valet Mode.
The first time you enter Valet mode, the touchscreen
prompts you to create a 4-digit PIN you will use to
cancel Valet mode.
When Valet mode is active, the instrument panel
displays the word Valet 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
Drive on page 142), 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.

control settings are restored, and all features are
available.

mode from the mobile app.
