detect the trailer and automatically
engage Trailer Mode. Always check that
Trailer Mode is engaged before towing a trailer.Warning: Under no circumstances shouldyou exit Trailer Mode when towing a

and/or death.Warning: Do not use the air suspension setting to appropriately match the height
of the hitch with the height of the trailer.
You must choose a trailer hitch and trailer

attaching a bicycle carrier to the trailer
hitch (see Using a Bicycle Carrier on page

While Towing a Trailer

Supported Bicycle Carriers
To support the installation of a carrier (such as
a bicycle rack) on the rear of Model X, the
optional towing package is required. Do not
attempt to install a carrier on a Model X that is
not equipped with the towing package. Doing
so can cause damage.
Model X is designed to support a bicycle
carrier of up to 120 lbs (55 kg). When carry
bicycles on Model X, always check to ensure
that the maximum weight is not exceeded. For
example, this weight threshold is
sufficient for
carrying two bicycles weighing approximately
40 lbs (18 kg) each, or four bicycles weighting
approximately 20 lbs (9 kg) each, assuming
the carrier weighs approximately 33 lbs (15
kg).
Warning: The accessory hitch is designed
to attach a 1.25“ hitch accessory only. Do
not use the accessory hitch for trailer
towing, transportation or vehicle recovery.
Installing a Bicycle Carrier
1. Carefully follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the bicycle carrier.
2. Connect the electrical connector (if equipped). When Model X detects the
electrical connector, the touchscreen may
prompt you to enter Trailer Mode. To
ensure availability of Autopilot features, it
is recommended that you do not activate
Trailer Mode.
3. Check that the lights are functioning properly (if equipped).
Note: Bicycle carriers or other accessories
mounted on the rear trunk are likely to
obscure the rear view camera

change suspension settings. Smart Air Suspension causes Model X to self-level, even when powered
off. Therefore, when towing or lifting, you must disable self-leveling (see Instructions
for Transporters on page 164 and Jacking and Lifting on page 149).
