1. With the key fob placed button side down
on a soft surface, release the bottom
cover, using a small flat-bladed tool.
2. Remove the battery by lifting it away from
the retaining clips.
3. While avoiding touching the battery's flat
surfaces, insert the new battery (type
CR2032 ) with the '+' side facing up.
NOTE: Wipe the battery clean before
fitting and avoid touching the battery's
flat surfaces. Finger marks on the flat
surfaces of the battery can reduce battery
life.
NOTE: CR2032 batteries can be
purchased from any retailer that sells
batteries.
4. Holding the bottom cover at an angle,
align the tabs on the cover with the
corresponding slots on the key fob, then
press the cover firmly onto the key fob
until it snaps into place.
5. Test that the key fob works by unlocking
and locking Model 3.
Opening and Closing
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
Adding and Removing Keys on page
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.
