2016 TESLA MODEL X lock

Adjusting Second Row SeatsModel X has three seating positions in the
second row. Each seating position provides
comfort adjustments. Although the control on
the outside seats are L-shaped and the control
on the middle seat is circular, they both provide the same functions.
1. Move seat forward/backward.
2. Adjust backrest.
Note: The backrest locks into position
when you release the lever. If a backrest is
not locked into position when a driving
gear is engaged, the instrument panel
displays an alert for the unlocked
backrest. Adjust the backrest again,
ensuring it locks into position.
Accessing Third Row Seats Model X makes it easy for passengers to enterand exit the optional third row seating
positions. Press the Easy Entry button located
on the backrest of each second row outside seat. The associated outside seat

Note: When an outside seat has tilted forward
for easy entry, its back rest resets to the
neutral position and may need to be re-
adjusted.
Note: If an obstacle is detected while a seat is
moving forward for easy entry, forward
movement stops and the seat moves back.
Folding Third Row Seats
Before folding, remove items from the seats
and the rear foot well. To allow the third row
seat backs to fold completely
flat, you may
need to move the second row seats forward.
To fold a third row seat, press the button
located in the top outside corner of the seat.
The button has two detents.
1. Fold head restraint forward.
2. Fold seat forward.
You can also use the touchscreen to fold third
row seats. Touch Controls > Doors > Rear
Seats. A convenient way to fold rear seats is to engage Cargo Mode (described next).
Note: If necessary, the second row seat may
move forward slightly to accommodate the forward position of the third row seat.
Note: To raise the seats, pull the seat back
upward until it latches into place. To
confirmthe seat back is locked in the upright position, try pulling it forward.
Warning: Always ensure the seat backs
are locked in their upright position.
Failure to do so increases the risk of injury.Cargo Mode
Cargo Mode makes it easy for you to
maximize cargo space by automatically
moving all second row seats fully forward and
folding the third row seats
flat. Touch
Controls > Doors > Rear Seats > Cargo Mode
on the touchscreen.
Note: Cargo mode is prohibited if a second or
third row seat is occupied.
Head Restraints Front seats include adjustable non-removable
head restraints. Use the touchscreen to adjust
these head restraints to either a low or high
position.
The second and third row seats have
integrated non-removable head restraints that
can not be adjusted. However, the head
restraints in the third row seats can be folded
down for storage (see Folding Third Row
Seats on page 20).
Seat Heaters
The front seats are equipped with heating
pads that operate at three levels from 3
(highest) to 1 (lowest). To operate the seat
heaters, see Climate Controls on page 105.
If Model X is equipped with the optional cold
weather package, you can also control seat
heaters in the second row and rear seats, as
well as heated wipers by touching Controls >
Cold Weather (see Controls on page 97).
Seat Covers Do not use seat covers on Model X. Doing so
could restrict deployment of the side air bags
if an accident occurs. It can also reduce the
accuracy of the occupant detection system.

Wearing Seat Belts
Using seat belts and child safety seats is the
most
effective way to protect occupants if a
collision occurs. Therefore, wearing a seat belt is required by law in most jurisdictions.
Both the driver and passenger seats are
equipped with three-point inertia reel seat
belts. Inertia reel belts are automatically
tensioned to allow occupants to move
comfortably during normal driving conditions.
To securely hold child safety seats, all
passenger seating positions are equipped with
an automatic locking retractor (ALR) that, by
pulling the seat belt beyond the length
needed for a typical adult occupant, locks the
belt into place until the seat belt is unbuckled
(see Installing Seat Belt Retained Child Seats
on page 27).
The seat belt reel automatically locks to prevent movement of occupants if Model Xexperiences a force associated with hard
acceleration, braking, cornering, or an impact in a collision.
The seat belt reminder on the
instrument panel alerts you if a seat
belt for an occupied seat is not
fastened. If the belt remains unfastened, the reminder
flashes and
an intermittent chime sounds. If all
occupants are buckled up and the
reminder stays on, re-fasten seat
belts to ensure they are correctly
latched. Also remove any heavy
objects (such as a briefcase) from an
unoccupied seat. If the reminder
light continues to stay on, contact
Tesla.
To Fasten a Belt
1. Ensure correct positioning of the seat.
2. Draw the belt out smoothly, ensuring the belt lays flat across the pelvis, chest and
mid-point of your collar bone, between
the neck and shoulder.
3. Insert the latch plate into the buckle and press together until you hear a click
indicating it is locked in place.
4. Pull the belt to check that it is securely fastened.
5. Pull the diagonal part of the belt toward the reel to remove excess slack.
To Release a Belt
Hold the belt near the buckle to prevent the
belt from retracting too quickly, then press the
button on the buckle. The belt retracts
automatically. Ensure there is no obstruction
that prevents the belt from fully retracting.
The belt should not hang loose. If a seat belt
does not fully retract, contact Tesla.
Wearing Seat Belts When Pregnant
Do not put the lap or shoulder sections of the
seat belt over the abdominal area. Wear the lap section of the belt as low as possibleacross the hips, not the waist. Position theshoulder portion of the belt between the
breasts and to the side of the abdomen.
Consult your doctor for
specific guidance.
Warning: Never place anything between
you and the seat belt to cushion the
impact in the event of an accident.

Braking Systems
Model X has an anti-lock braking system
(ABS) that prevents the wheels from locking when you apply maximum brake pressure. This
improves steering control during heavy
braking in most road conditions.
During emergency braking conditions, the
ABS constantly monitors the speed of each
wheel and varies the brake pressure according to the grip available.
The alteration of brake pressure can be felt as
a pulsing sensation through the brake pedal.
This demonstrates that the ABS is operating
and is not a cause for concern. Keep
firm and
steady pressure on the brake pedal while
experiencing the pulsing.
The ABS indicator flashes briefly on
the instrument panel when you firststart Model X. If this indicator lights
up at any other time, an ABS fault
has occurred and the ABS is not
operating. Contact Tesla. The braking system remains fully operational and
is not
affected by an ABS failure.
However, braking distances may increase.
If the instrument panel displays this
indicator at any time other than
displaying
briefly when you first start
Model X, a brake system fault is
detected or the brake
fluid level is
low. Contact Tesla immediately.
Emergency Braking
In an emergency, fully press the brake pedal
and maintain
firm pressure, even on low
traction surfaces. The ABS varies the braking
pressure to each wheel according to the
amount of traction available. This prevents
wheels from locking and ensures that you stop
as safely as possible.
Warning: Do not pump the brake pedal.
Doing so interrupts operation of the ABS
and can increase braking distance.Warning: Always maintain a safe distance
from the vehicle in front of you and be
aware of hazardous driving conditions.
While the ABS can improve stopping
distance, it cannot overcome the laws of physics. It also does not prevent the
danger of hydroplaning (where a layer of
water prevents direct contact between the tires and the road).
If Model X is equipped with Autopilot
hardware, Automatic Emergency Braking
automatically applies full braking in situations
where a collision is considered imminent (see
Automatic Emergency Braking on page 89).
Brake Wear Model X brake pads are equipped with wearindicators. A wear indicator is a thin metal
strip attached to the brake pad that squeals as
it rubs against the rotor when the pad wears
down. This squealing sound indicates that the
brake pads have reached the end of their
service life and require replacement. To stop
the squealing, contact Tesla Service.
Brakes must be periodically inspected visually by removing the tire and wheel. For detailed
specifications and service limits for rotors and
brake pads, see Brakes on page 158.
Warning: Neglecting to replace worn
brake pads results in damage to the
braking system and can create a braking
hazard.
