Caution: The manual door release is
designed to be used only in situations
when Model 3 has no power. Whenever
Model 3 has power, use the button

handle.
Interior Locking and Unlocking
While sitting inside Model 3, you can lock and
unlock all doors and trunks by touching the
lock icon on the touchscreen.
The icon changes to indicate
whether doors are locked or

You can also unlock the doors by pressing the
Park button on the end of the gear selector a
second time. Pressing this button once
engages the Park gear and pressing it again
unlocks the doors.
Walk-Away Door Lock
Doors and trunks can automatically lock
whenever you walk away carrying your
authenticated phone. To turn this feature on or

When the doors lock, the exterior lights flash
once and the mirrors fold (if equipped with
the premium package and Fold Mirrors is on).

Confirmation Sound > ON.
Model 3 does not automatically lock if:

suspended for one minute. If you open a door
within this minute, it will not re-lock until all
the doors are closed and you have walked
away with the authenticated phone.

doors to prevent them from being opened
