Supported Accessory CarriersTo support the installation of an accessory
carrier (such as a bicycle, ski, or snowboard
rack) on the rear of Model X, the accessory
hitch or optional towing package is required.
Do not attempt to install an accessory carrier
on a Model X that is not equipped with the
accessory hitch or towing package. Doing so
can cause damage.
Model X is designed to support an accessory carrier of up to 120 lbs (55 kg). When carrying
accessories on Model X, always check to ensure that the maximum weight is notexceeded. For example, this weight threshold
is
sufficient for carrying two bicycles weighing
approximately 40 lbs (18 kg) each, or four
bicycles weighing approximately 20 lbs (9 kg)
each, assuming the accessory 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.
Model X is capable of towing ONLY IF
equipped with the towing package.
Although the accessory hitch and the
towing package are similar in appearance,
a Model X equipped with an accessory
hitch does not have the appropriate
hardware or software to ensure that
towing can be done safely.
Installing an Accessory Carrier
1. Carefully follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the accessory
carrier.
2. Connect the electrical connector (if equipped). When Model X detects the
electrical connector, Trailer Mode
automatically engages. To ensure
availability of Autopilot features, it is
recommended that you disable Trailer
Mode. To disable Trailer Mode, touch
Controls > Driving > Trailer Mode > OFF
on the touchscreen.
3. Check that the lights are functioning properly (if equipped).
Note: Using an accessory carrier is likely to
obscure the rear view camera

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).

Maintaining Tire Pressures
If you are not towing a trailer, keep tires
inflated to the pressures shown on the Tire
and Loading Information label, even if it differsfrom the pressure printed on the tire itself. The
Tire and Loading Information label is located
on the center door pillar and is visible when
the driver

Tire Repair Kit
Your Model X has no spare tire. Depending on
the legislations that apply to the region in
which you purchased Model X, a tire repair kit
may or may not be included. If a tire repair kit
was not provided in Model X upon delivery,
you can purchase one from Tesla.
Note: Although Model X does not have a spare
tire, in the event of a
flat tire, Roadside
Assistance provides towing coverage for up to 50 miles.
The tire repair kit consists of a compressor
and a canister of tire sealant (enough to repair
one tire). When injected into a tire, the sealant
can penetrate a small puncture up to 1/4" (6 mm) to form a temporary repair.
Note: For punctures larger than 1/4” (6 mm),
severe tread damage, a damaged sidewall,
ripped tires or tires that have come
off the rim,
call Roadside Assistance.
Warning: The tire repair kit is a temporary
repair only. You must repair or replace a
damaged tire as soon as possible.Warning: Do not exceed 30 mph
(48 km/h) when driving with a tire that
has been temporarily repaired with sealant.Warning: Follow all directions and
warnings on the tire repair kit before
starting a repair.Caution: Do not drive on a deflated tire as
this can cause serious damage.Tire Sealant Canister
The tire sealant provided in the Tesla tire
repair kit is approved for use with Model X and is designed not to damage the TPMS (Tire
Pressure Monitoring System) sensors.
Therefore, you must replace it only with one of
the same type and capacity (see Replacing
the Sealant Canister on page 158). Tire
sealant canisters can be purchased from Tesla.
The tire sealant has an expiration date printed
on the outside of the canister. If the expiration
date has passed, the sealant might not work
as expected. Always replace an expired tire
sealant canister.Warning: Do not use any tire sealant
other than the one available from Tesla.
Doing so could cause tire pressure
sensors to malfunction.Warning: Always read and follow the
safety and handling instructions printed on the sealant canister.Warning: Keep tire sealant out of the
reach of children.Warning: Tire sealant can be harmful if it
contacts the eyes or if swallowed or
inhaled. If the sealant comes into contact with your eyes, immediately
flush with
water and seek medical attention if
irritation persists. If swallowed, do not
induce vomiting and seek medical assistance immediately. If inhaled, breathe
fresh air. Inhalation can cause drowsiness
and dizziness. If breathing is
affected,seek medical assistance immediately.
