5. Test that the key fob works by unlocking and locking
Model 3.
WARNING: Key fob batteries contain a chemical
burn hazard and should not be ingested. The key
fob contains a coin cell battery. If the coin cell
battery is swallowed, it can cause severe internal
burns within two hours and can lead to death.
Keep new and used batteries away from children. If
the battery compartment does not close securely,
stop using the product and keep it away from
children. If you think batteries might have been
swallowed or placed inside any part of the body,
seek immediate medical attention.
Managing Keys
To display a list of all keys (phone keys, key cards, and
key fobs) that can access your Model 3, touch Controls >
Locks. An icon displays next to each key to indicate
whether the key is a phone key, key card, or key fob. Use
this list to manage keys that have access to your Model
3. To add or delete keys, see
on page
10.
Model 3 supports up to 19 keys. When you reach this
limit, you must delete a key before adding a new one.
NOTE: You can use the same key for more than one
Model 3. This prevents you from having to deal with
multiple keys when you switch vehicles. If you customize
the name of an authenticated key card or key fob on one
Model 3 (by touching the pencil icon), any other Model 3
to which the key card or key fob is authenticated also
displays the changed name.
Adding and Removing Keys
To add a new key card or key fob:
NOTE: When adding a key fob, ensure it is at room
temperature. Pairing a key fob that is very cold can be
unsuccessful.
1. On the touchscreen, touch Controls > Locks then
touch + in the Keys section.
2. Scan your new key card or key fob on the card reader
located behind the cup holders on the top of the
center console. After the new key card or key fob is
recognized, remove it from the card reader.
3. Scan a key card or key fob that has already been
paired to the vehicle to confirm new key pairing.
4. When complete, the key list includes the new key.
Touch the associated pencil icon to customize the
name of the key.

When you no longer want a key to access Model 3 (for
example, you lost your phone or key card, etc.), follow
these steps to remove it.
1. On the touchscreen, touch Controls > Locks.
2. In the key list, find the key that you would like to
delete and touch its associated trash icon.
3. When prompted, scan an authenticated key card or
key fob on the card reader to confirm the deletion.
When complete, the key list no longer includes the
deleted key.
NOTE: Model 3 requires at least one authenticated key
card or key fob at all times. If only one key card remains
on the key list, you cannot delete it.
