Compatible model: North America Model Y Premium Model Y Standard
To use a key card to unlock or lock Model Y, position the card as shown and tap it against the card reader located approximately one third the way up of the driver's side door pillar. When Model Y 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.
Note
You may need to physically touch the wireless phone charger or driver's side door pillar with the key card, and you may need to hold it against the transmitter for one or two seconds.
Once inside, power up Model Y by pressing the brake pedal within two minutes of scanning the key card. If you wait longer than two minutes, you must re-authenticate by placing the key card near the card reader located in the wireless phone charger on the center console. When your key card is detected, your two minute authentication period restarts.
Note
If enabled, Walk-Away Door Lock operates only when you walk away using a phone key or key fob. When you walk away carrying your key card, Model Y does not automatically unlock/lock.
Note
Do not leave a key card in the vehicle, even if you have your paired phone key with you.
