If your Model X is equipped with the optional security package, it includes a battery-backed
siren that sounds in situations where a locked door or trunk is opened and Model X does not
detect a key nearby. If the Tilt/Intrusion

tow truck or jack). To temporarily turn the Tilt/
Intrusion detection system
off, touch
Controls > Settings > Safety & Security > Tilt/
Intrusion > OFF . The Tilt/Intrusion setting is
enabled every time Model X is unlocked.
Note: If you plan to leave something that
moves, such as a dog, inside your locked
Model X, remember to turn
off Tilt/Intrusion .
Motion detected inside Model X activates the
siren.
Note: The Alarm must be on to enable Tilt/
Intrusion .
