How to Use

1. To use a key card to unlock or lock a Tesla, position the card as shown and tap it against the card reader located just below the Autopilot camera on the driver’s side door pillar. When the Tesla detects the key card, the exterior lights flash, the mirrors unfold or fold (if Fold Mirrors is on), the horn sounds (if Lock Confirmation Sound is on), and the doors unlock or lock.
2. When complete, the key list includes the new key. Touch the associated pencil icon to customize the name of the key. Once inside, power up Model 3 by pressing the brake pedal within two minutes of scanning the key card (see Starting and Powering Off). If you wait longer than two minutes, you must re-authenticate by placing the key card near the card reader located behind the cup holders on the center console. When your key card is detected, your two minute authentication period restarts.
