3. PreviousSame as described above for Next, except
it skips to the previous song or station. If
you have more than one favorite
defined,press and hold to cycle through favorites.
Note: Regardless of how you customize the
left side of the instrument panel, it
automatically changes to display navigation
instructions (if applicable), or to let you know
if a door or trunk is open when Model X is in a driving gear.
Using Right Steering Wheel Buttons Use the buttons on the right side of the
steering wheel to access call options while on
a phone call, to choose what displays on the
right side of the instrument panel, to adjust
Model X features, and to use voice commands.
Note: Whenever you receive or make a phone call, the right side of the instrument panelautomatically displays call options to help you
easily handle phone calls on your Bluetooth-
connected phone.
1. Press to use a voice command to call a
contact, navigate, or listen to Internetmusic. When you hear the tone, speak
your command. Press again to end the
voice command, or simply stop speaking.
For details, see Using Voice Commands on
page 40.
2. Scroll Wheel
Turn Signals
Move the left-hand steering column lever up
(before turning right) or down (before turning
left).
The turn signals stop operating when canceled by the steering wheel, or when you return the
lever to the central position.
The corresponding turn signal
indicator lights up on the instrument
panel when a turn signal is
operating. You also hear a clicking
sound.Warning: If Model X is equipped with both
Autopilot hardware and the optional
Autopilot Tech Package, and
Traffic-
Aware Cruise Control is active, engaging
a turn signal can cause Model X to
accelerate when using
Traffic-AwareCruise Control in specific situations (see
Overtake Acceleration on page 81).
Warning: If Model X is equipped with both
Autopilot hardware and the optional
Autopilot Tech Package, and Autosteer is active, engaging a turn signal can cause
Model X to change lanes (see Auto Lane
Change on page 87).
Lane Change Flash
To indicate a lane change, quickly press the
lever up or down against the spring pressure,
then release. The corresponding turn signal
flashes three times.
Hazard Warning Flashers To turn on the hazard warning
flashers, press
the button located on the side of the
touchscreen closest to the steering wheel. All
turn signals
flash. Press again to turn off.
Note: Hazard warning flashers operate even
without a Model X key nearby.

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 39).
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:
If Model X is equipped with Driver Assistance
components (see About Driver Assistance on
page 76), and you have purchased the
optional Autopilot Tech Package, you can use
Auto Lane Change to move Model X into an adjacent lane without touching the steering
wheel (which would cancel Autosteer). When both
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and
Autosteer are active, Auto Lane Change intelligently steers Model X into an adjacentdriving lane. Using the forward lookingcamera, the radar sensor, and the ultrasonic
sensors, Autosteer detects lane markings and
the presence of other vehicles.
Auto Lane Change is designed for use on
highways and main roads with visible lane
markings and under relatively predictable
circumstances in which minimal steering and
driver intervention is needed.
Warning: It is the driver
Warning: If Auto Lane Change cannotdetect the outside of the target lane
midway through the lane change, both
Auto Lane Change and Autosteer will cancel. The instrument panel displays a
message instructing you to take over the
steering wheel immediately.
When Auto Lane Change is active, it is
important to monitor its performance by
watching the driving path in front of you and
the surrounding area. Stay prepared to take
over steering at any time. On the instrument
panel, the lane you are crossing over displays as a dashed blue line and once in your new
lane, the lane markings display as solid blue
lines.
In situations where Auto Lane Change is
unable to operate at optimal performance, or
cannot operate due to inadequate data, the
instrument panel displays a series of warnings.
Therefore, when using Auto Lane Change,
always pay attention to the instrument panel
and be prepared to manually steer Model X.
Warning: When Auto Lane Change is
actively steering Model X, the steering wheel moves accordingly. Any
significantrestriction of the steering wheel
1. CloseTouch the circled X in the top left corner of a window to close it (or you can touch anywhere
outside the window).
2. Doors
Touch to open or close doors.
3. Seats
Touch to move the second row seats forward or back.
4. Cold Weather
If Model X is equipped with the optional cold weather package, you can control all seatheaters as well as the heated wipers and steering wheel. Heaters that are turned on are displayed in red. To turn
off all seat heaters, touch All Off. Note that you can also control the
front driver and passenger seats using the main climate control panel located on the bottom
of the touchscreen (see Climate Controls on page 114).
5. Suspension
If Model X is equipped with Smart Air Suspension, touch to manually raise or lower Model X,or to remove a previously saved auto-raising location (see Smart Air Suspension on page
119). Model X must be powered on and you must press the brake pedal before you can
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 181 and Jacking and Lifting on page 165).
6. Driving
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
