alert and always pay attention to the area
in front of Model X so you can anticipate whether any action is required.Warning: Forward Collision Warning does
not operate when Model X is traveling less than 4 mph (7 km/h).Warning: Forward Collision Warning does
not provide a warning when the driver is already applying the brake.
Automatic Emergency Braking
The forward looking camera and the radar
sensor are designed to determine the distance
from any object (vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle,
or pedestrian) traveling in front of Model X.
When a frontal collision is considered
unavoidable, Automatic Emergency Braking is designed to apply the brakes to reduce the
severity of the impact, even if you are already
applying the brakes.
When Automatic Emergency Braking applies
the brakes, the instrument panel displays a visual warning and you

How Speed Assist Works
If Model X is equipped with Autopilot
components (see About Driver Assistance on
page 76), the forward looking camera detects
speed limit signs. The signs are then analyzed
and compared against GPS data to determine
the speed limit at your current driving
location. For routes where no signs are
present, speed limits are determined using
GPS data (if available). Instead of determining
the speed limit based on signs and GPS data,
you can also manually enter an arbitrary speed limit.
When Speed Assist is turned on (described
below), the instrument panel displays a speed
limit sign. Warnings (described below) take
effect when you exceed this limit.
In situations where Speed Assist is unable to
detect a speed (for example, speed limit signs
and GPS data are not available at the current
location), or if Speed Assist is uncertain that
an acquired speed limit is accurate (for
example, although a speed limit sign was
initially detected, some time has passed
before a subsequent sign has been detected), the instrument panel may not display a speed
limit sign and warnings do not take
effect.
If you set the speed limit warning to Display
(see Controlling Speed Assist on page 99),
the speed limit sign on the instrumental panel
increases in size whenever you exceed the
speed limit.
If you set the speed limit warning to Chime (see Controlling Speed Assist on page 99)
and exceed the speed limit, you also hear a warning chime.
Note: Speed limit warnings go away after 10 seconds, or when Model X slows down below
the
specified limit.
Warning: Do not rely on Speed Assist to
determine the appropriate speed limit. Always drive at a safe speed based on
traffic and road conditions.
Controlling Speed Assist
To turn Speed Assist on or
off, and control
how it works, touch Controls > Settings >
Driver Assistance > Speed Limit Warning, then
choose one of these options:

12V Power SocketYour Model X has a power socket located on
the front of the center console. An additional
12V power socket is located in the rear trunk.
Power is available whenever the instrument
panel and touchscreen are on.
The 12V power sockets are 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 X is unable to detect the key (low battery, interference, etc.),
place it immediately below the 12V power
socket in the center console where Model X
can best detect it.
Warning: The power socket and an
accessory

During navigation, the instrument paneldisplays the turn-by-turn directions, and you
will also hear spoken directions. To change the volume of the spoken directions, use the scroll
wheel on the left side of the steering wheel
while navigation directions are being spoken.
You can also change or mute the volume by
touching the volume icon located in the top
right corner of the turn-by-turn direction list.
Model X detects real-time
traffic conditions
and automatically adjusts the estimated driving and arrival times based on
traffic. In
situations where traffic conditions will delay
your estimated time of arrival and an alternate route is available, Model X reroutes you to
your destination. You can turn this feature
offby touching Controls > Settings > Apps >
Maps & Navigation > Traffic-Based Routing >Off. You can specify the amount of time
savings (in minutes) that must be achieved
before you are rerouted by touching the arrows associated with the Re-Route If It
Saves More Than setting.
Model X can also monitor
traffic to your work
location (on weekday mornings) and to your home location (on weekday evenings) and
advise you if there is a better route in situations where
traffic conditions will cause a
delay by touching Controls > Settings > Apps > Maps & Navigation > Show Commute
Advice > ON. You can specify that commute advice be given only when a faster route is
available by selecting Only when a faster route
is available.
Note:
Traffic-Based Commute Advice is only
available if your Model X is equipped with the
Navigation option and you have saved Home
and Work locations.
Model X can route you around ferries and tolls.
Touch Controls > Settings > Apps > Maps &
Navigation, and then touch the associated
checkboxes.
As you approach an upcoming turn on your
navigation route, a vertical progression bar
displays on the right side of the touchscreen

Location-specific schedule. With Model X in Park, set a specific time when you want Model X
to begin charging at the current location. If, at the scheduled time, Model X is not plugged in
at the location, it will start charging as soon as you plug it in as long as you are plugging it in
within six hours of the scheduled time. If you plug in after six hours, Model X does not start charging until the scheduled time on the next day. To override this setting, touch Start
Charging or Stop Charging (see item 4). When you set a scheduled charging time, Model X displays the set time on the instrument panel and the touchscreen.
4. Touch to open the charge port door or to start (or stop) charging.
5. The current automatically sets to the maximum current available from the attached charge cable, unless it was previously reduced to a lower level.
If needed, touch the up/down arrows to change the current (for example, you may want to
reduce the current if you are concerned about overloading a domestic wiring circuit shared by other equipment). It is not possible to set the charging current to a level that exceeds themaximum available from the attached charge cable.
When you change the current, Model X remembers the location. So if you subsequently charge at the same location, you do not need to change it again.
Note: If Model X automatically reduced a charging location

Cleaning the Interior
Frequently inspect and clean the interior to maintain its appearance and to prevent
premature wear. If possible, immediately wipe up spills and remove marks. For general
cleaning, wipe interior surfaces using a soft
cloth (such as micro
fiber) dampened with a
mixture of warm water and mild non-
detergent cleaner (test all cleaners on a
concealed area before use). To avoid streaks,
dry immediately with a soft lint-free cloth.
Interior Glass
Do not scrape, or use any abrasive cleaning
fluid on glass or mirrored surfaces. This can
damage the reflective surface of the mirror
and the heating elements in the rear window.
Airbags
Do not allow any substance to enter an airbag
cover. This could
affect correct operation.
Dashboard and Plastic Surfaces
Do not polish the upper surfaces of the
dashboard. Polished surfaces are
reflectiveand could interfere with your driving view.
Leather Seats
Leather is prone to dye-transfer which can
cause discoloration, particularly on light
colored leather. White and tan leather is coated with an anti-soiling treatment. Wipespills as soon as possible using a soft cloth
moistened with warm water and non-
detergent soap. Wipe gently in a circular
motion. Then wipe dry using a soft, lint-free
cloth. Using detergents or commercially
available leather cleaners and conditioners is
not recommended because they can discolor or dry out the leather.
Polyurethane Seats
Wipe spills as soon as possible using a soft
cloth moistened with warm water and non-
detergent soap. Wipe gently in a circular
motion. For
difficult stains on ultra-white
seats, use isopropyl alcohol, then wipe with a
damp cloth. After cleaning, allow the seats to air dry.
Cloth Seats
Wipe spills as soon as possible using a soft
cloth moistened with warm water and non-
detergent soap. Wipe gently in a circular
motion. Then wipe dry using a soft, lint-free
cloth. Vacuum the seats as needed to remove
any loose dirt.
Carpets
Avoid over-wetting carpets. For heavily soiled
areas, use a diluted upholstery cleaner.
Seat Belts
Extend the belts to wipe. Do not use any type
of detergent or chemical cleaning agent.
Allow the belts to dry naturally while
extended, preferably away from direct
sunlight.
Touchscreen and Instrument Panel
Clean the touchscreen and instrument panel
using a soft lint-free cloth
specificallydesigned to clean monitors and displays. Do
not use cleaners (such as a glass cleaner) and do not use a wet wipe or a dry statically-charged cloth (such as a recently washed
microfiber). To wipe the touchscreen without
activating buttons and changing settings, you
can enable clean mode. Touch Controls > Displays > Clean Mode. The display darkens to
make it easy to see dust and smudges.
Chrome and Metal Surfaces
Polish, abrasive cleaners or hard cloths can
damage the
finish on chrome and metal
surfaces.
Cautions for Interior Cleaning
Warning: If you notice any damage on an
airbag or seat belt, contact Tesla
immediately.Warning: Do not allow any water,
cleaners, or fabric to enter a seat belt
mechanism.Caution: Using solvents (including alcohol), bleach, citrus, naphtha, orsilicone-based products or additives on
interior components can cause damage.Caution: Statically-charged materials can
cause damage to the touchscreen or
instrument panel.
