2017 TESLA MODEL X Owner's Manual (UK)

Warning: Under no circumstances shouldyou exit Trailer Mode when towing a
trailer. Doing so can cause serious injury
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.
While Towing a Trailer
Model X is designed primarily as a passenger-
carrying vehicle. Towing a trailer puts additional load on the motor, drive train,brakes, tires and suspension and
significantlydecreases range. If you decide to tow a trailer,
proceed with caution and follow these general
guidelines:

Warning: You must use the Model X trailerhitch when towing a trailer. Never attempt
to attach a
different type of trailer hitch.
To install the trailer hitch:
1. Remove the dust cover from the hitch housing.
2. Insert the key into the locking cylinder onthe hitch, and turn the cylinder so the topof the key is aligned with the “unlocked”
position.
3. Pull the locking cylinder out of the adapter approximately .5 cm, and turn
clockwise until the red marking on the
cylinder aligns with the white dot.
Warning: Be careful when turning the
locking cylinder. If it does not lock
into the “Open Position”, it
automatically retracts into its original “Closed Position” and can pinch your
fingers.
4. Firmly grasp the hitch from the bottom and align the triangular-shaped guides at
the sides of the hitch with the
corresponding cutouts in the hitch
housing.
Note: Do not grasp the locking cylinder
because it needs to rotate freely.
5. Push the hitch into the hitch housing until the locking cylinder rotates approximately
120

2. While firmly holding the bottom of the
hitch (to prevent it from dropping to the ground), pull the locking cylinder out
approximately .5 cm, and turn it clockwise
until the red marking on the locking
cylinder aligns with the white dot. At this
point, the locking cylinder is locked in the "open" and the hitch drops out of the
housing.Warning: Be careful when turning the
locking cylinder. If it does not lock
into the “Open Position”, it
automatically retracts into its original “closed" position and can pinch your
fingers.
3. Re-install the dust cover on the hitch housing to prevent dirt from accumulating
inside the housing.
4. Close the dust cover on the hitch

Driver Assistance FeaturesThese safety features are available on all
Model X vehicles equipped with Driver
Assistance components:

If Model X is equipped with Driver Assistance
components (see About Driver Assistance on
page 77) and you have purchased the optional
Autopilot Tech Package, the forward looking camera and the radar sensor are designed to
determine when there is a vehicle in front of
you in the same lane. If the area in front of Model X is clear,
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control
maintains a set driving speed. When a vehicle
is detected,
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is
designed to slow down Model X as needed to
maintain a selected time-based distance from
the vehicle in front, up to the set speed.
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control does not
eliminate the need to watch the road in front
of you and to apply the brakes when needed.
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is primarily
intended for driving on dry, straight roads,
such as highways and freeways. It should not
be used on city streets.
Warning: Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is
designed for your driving comfort and
convenience and is not a collision warning or avoidance system. It is your
responsibility to stay alert, drive safely,
and be in control of the vehicle at all
times. Never depend on
Traffic-AwareCruise Control to adequately slow down
Model X. Always watch the road in front
of you and be prepared to take corrective
action at all times. Failure to do so can
result in serious injury or death.
Warning: Although Traffic-Aware Cruise
Control is capable of detecting
pedestrians and cyclists, never depend on
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control to
adequately slow down Model X for them.
Always watch the road in front of you and be prepared to take corrective action at
all times. Failure to do so can result in
serious injury or death.
Warning: Do not use Traffic-Aware Cruise
Control on city streets or on roads where
traffic conditions are constantly changing.
Warning: Do not use Traffic-Aware Cruise
Control on winding roads with sharp
curves, on icy or slippery road surfaces, or
when weather conditions (such as heavy
rain, snow, fog, etc) make it inappropriate
to drive at a consistent speed.
Traffic-
Aware Cruise Control does not adapt
driving speed based on road and driving
conditions.
Operating Traffic-Aware Cruise
ControlThe instrument panel
displays a gray speedometer
icon on the left side of the
driving speed to indicate
that
Traffic-Aware Cruise
Control is available but the
cruising speed has not been
set. Unless a vehicle is
detected ahead of you, you
must be driving at least
8 km/h to use
Traffic-AwareCruise Control. If a vehicle is
detected ahead of you, you
can use
Traffic-Aware Cruise
Control at any speed, even
when stationary.
When driving at your desired speed, set the cruising speed by moving the cruise control
lever up or down (or pulling it
briefly toward
you), then releasing.
The speedometer icon on the
instrument panel turns blue
and displays the set speed to
indicate that
Traffic-AwareCruise Control is actively
maintaining the set speed.
You can now release the accelerator pedal and
allow Traffic-Aware Cruise Control to maintain
your set speed. When no vehicle is detected ahead,
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control maintains
the set speed. If a vehicle is detected, Traffic-
Aware Cruise Control maintains your chosen
following distance, up to the set speed,
accelerating and decelerating Model X as
needed. When the vehicle you are following is
no longer detected,
Traffic-Aware Cruise
Control accelerates back to the set speed.
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control also adjusts the
speed as appropriate when entering and
exiting curves.
