Glove Box To open the glove box, press the switch located on the side of the touchscreen. If you leave the glove box open for five minutes, its light automatically turns off.
Note: Do not connect multiple devices using a USB hub. This can prevent connected devices from charging or from being recognized by the Media Player.
12V Power Socket Your Model S has a power socket located on the front of the center console. Power is available whenever the instrument panel and touchscreen are on.
Note: The glove box locks whenever Model S is locked externally, using the key or walkaway locking. It also locks when Model S is in Valet mode (see Valet Mode on page 44). It does not lock when Model S is locked using the touchscreen. Warning: When driving, keep the glove box closed to prevent injury to a passenger if a collision or sudden stop occurs.
USB Connections Your Model S has two USB connections located on the front of the center console that you can use to connect USB devices. To play audio files stored on a USB drive connected to these ports, see Playing Media from Devices on page 129. You can also use these connections to charge USB devices.
Opening and Closing
The 12V power socket is suitable for accessories requiring up to 11A continuous draw (15A peak) or a maximum of 150 continuous watts (180 watts peak). Note: In situations where Model S is unable to detect the key (low battery, interference, etc.), place it immediately below the 12V power socket where Model S can best detect it. Warning: The power socket and an accessory’s connector can become hot.
