2017 TESLA MODEL X display

Opening
To open the front trunk: Touch ControlsFront Trunk on the
touchscreen, or double-click the front
trunk button on the key.
Pull the hood up.The door open indicator displays on
the instrument panel when the front
trunk is open. The image of the
Model X on the touchscreen Controls window also displays the open trunk.
The front trunk locks whenever Model X is
locked using the touchscreen, externally using
the key or walk-away locking, or when Valet
mode is active (see Valet Mode).
Closing
The Model X body is made of lightweight
aluminum. Therefore, the hood is not heavy
enough to latch under its own weight and
applying pressure on the front edge or center of the hood can cause damage. To close the
hood:

empty or carrying a weight of 9 kg or less, it
will take the touchscreen approximately six seconds to display the status, PASS AIRBAG
OFF. If it fails to do so, contact Tesla service
immediately and turn the airbags
off manually
when a child is seated in the front passenger
seating position.
If the airbag is permanently on, even when the seat is empty and the seat belt is unbuckled,contact Tesla immediately.
To make sure the sensing system can correctly detect occupancy status, eliminate the
following:

StartingWhen you open a door, Model X powers on
the instrument panel and touchscreen. The
instrument panel displays the status of doors
and the charge level, and you can operate all
controls.
To drive:

7. Pay attention to important alert messages that display here. If any alerts are in effect, you can
view information about them by touching the alert icon (exclamation mark) on the touchscreen

1. Touch to control front driver side map light.
2. If you touch DOME, a popup appears that allow you to control cabin lights. If cabin lights are set to ON, all interior cabin lights, including the light in the rear trunk, turn on when youunlock Model X, open a door upon exiting, or shift into P (Park). They turn
off after 60
seconds, when you lock Model X, or when you shift into a driving gear. If set to AUTO, cabin lights turn on only when little or no light is detected.
You can also turn on an individual dome light by touching its lens. If you manually turn a domelight on, it turns
off when Model X powers off. If Model X was already powered off when you
manually turned the light on, it turns off after 60 minutes.
3. If you turn on AMBIENT lights, the lights on the door arm rests turn on whenever the headlights are on.
4. Touch to control front passenger side map light.
5. Touch to turn the fog lights on or
off. Fog lights operate only when low beam headlights are
on. When headlights are turned off, fog lights also turn off.
The Rear Fog indicator displays on the instrument panel whenever rear fog
lights are on.The Front Fog indicator displays on the instrument panel whenever the
optional front fog lights are on.
6. If Model X is equipped with a coil suspension system, you can adjust the angle of the headlights to accommodate the load you are carrying. You may need to lower the angle of theheadlights to avoid blinding oncoming drivers in situations when you are carrying a
significantamount of weight in the rear trunk. After touching LEVEL, drag the slider to the desired position:
0Headlights are not lowered. No change is needed when all front and rear seats are
occupied and only the front trunk is laden.1Headlights are lowered one level. Suitable when the front and rear seats are occupied and the rear trunk is laden.2Headlights are lowered two levels. Suitable when carrying heavy loads.
Note: Headlight adjustments are not available if Model X is equipped with Smart Air
Suspension because Model X levels automatically.

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 98).
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 175.
Warning: Neglecting to replace worn
brake pads results in damage to the
braking system and can create a braking
hazard.

Regenerative Braking
Whenever Model X is moving and your foot is
off the accelerator, regenerative braking slows
down Model X and feeds any surplus energy
back to the Battery.
By anticipating your stops and simply
removing pressure from the accelerator to slow down, you can take advantage ofregenerative braking to increase driving range.
Of course, this is no substitute for regular braking when needed for safety.
Note: If regenerative braking is aggressively
slowing Model X, such as on a steep descent,
brake lights turn on to alert other road usersthat you are slowing down.
The Energy app displays real-time feedback on the amount of energy being gained by
regenerative braking. You can also display the
power meter on either side of the instrument panel by choosing Energy using the scroll
button on the steering wheel (see Steering
Wheel on page 42).
The amount of energy fed back to the Battery using regenerative braking can depend on the
current state of the Battery and the charge level setting that you are using. If regenerative
braking is limited, a dashed yellow line
displays on the power meter. For example,
regenerative braking may be limited if the Battery is already fully charged or if the
ambient temperature is low.
To Set the Regenerative Braking Level
You can use the touchscreen to change the
level of regenerative braking:
1. Touch Controls > Driving > Regenerative Braking.
2. Choose from two levels:
