Overview of Climate Controls
The climate controls are always available at the bottom of the touchscreen. By default, climate control is set to Auto, which maintains optimum comfort in all but the most severe weather conditions. When you adjust the temperature, the system automatically adjusts the heating, air
conditioning, air distribution, air circulation, and fan speed to maintain your selected temperature. To override these settings, touch Auto (see Customizing Climate Control on page 127).
The fan, heating, and air conditioning systems are powered by the Battery. Therefore, prolonged
use decreases driving range.
Note: The following illustration is provided for demonstration purposes only. Depending on vehicle
options, software version, market region, and settings, the information displayed may be slightly
different.
1. The front seats are equipped with heating/cooling pads. When operating, the top indicator
turns red when heating or the bottom indicator turns blue when cooling.
Note: If Model X is equipped with the optional cold weather package, you can also control
seat heaters in the rear seats, heated wipers, and heated steering wheel by touching Controls > Cold Weather (see Controls on page 119).
2. Touch the up or down arrow to set the cabin temperature. To apply a temperature setting to
both the driver and passenger side at the same time, touch SYNC TEMP on the temperature
popup that appears when you touch an arrow.
3. Touch the fan icon to customize and automate climate control settings for the front and rear
cabin. (See Customizing Climate Control on page 127.)
Note: Rear climate controls are available only if Model X is equipped with six or seven seating
positions.
4. The windshield defroster distributes air
flow to the windshield. Touch once to turn on, touch a
second time to operate the heating and fan at their maximum level, and touch a third time to
turn
off and restore the air distribution, heating, and fan to their previous settings.
5. Turn climate control system on/off.
Note: The label on this button says Keep Climate On if you have set the climate control system
to maintain your temperature settings when parked (see Customizing Climate Control on
page 127).
6. The rear window defroster warms up the rear window for 15 minutes, then automatically shuts
off. Exterior side mirrors are also heated.
Warning:
To avoid burns resulting from prolonged use, individuals who have peripheral
neuropathy, or whose capacity to feel pain is limited because of diabetes, age, neurological injury, or some other condition, should exercise caution when using the climate control
system and seat heaters.

Bluetooth

Connecting to a Paired PhoneModel X automatically connects with the last
phone to which it was connected, provided it
is within operating range and has Bluetooth turned on. If the last phone is not within range,
it attempts to connect with the next phone

To connect to a
different phone, touch the
Bluetooth icon on the touchscreen

Charging Status
The following illustration is provided for demonstration purposes only and may vary slightly
depending on the software version and market region.
1. Charging status information. For example, when Model X is charging, it displays the time
remaining until fully charged at the currently selected charge level. When a charging session is
scheduled, it displays when charging starts.
2. Total estimated driving distance (or energy) available. To choose between displaying distance
or energy percentage, touch Controls > Settings > Language & Units > Energy & Charging .
Note: A portion of the battery image may appear blue. This indicates that a small portion of
the energy stored in the battery is not available because the battery is cold. This is normal and no reason for concern. When the battery warms up, the blue portion no longer displays.
3. Charging rate per hour.
4. Estimated increase in driving distance (or energy) achieved so far in this charging session.
5. Current supplied/available from the connected power supply (see Changing Charge Settings
on page 158).
If connected to a 3-phase power supply, the available current represents the
current per phase and the 3-phase symbol displays.
6. Voltage supplied by the charge cable.
Note: If Model X is charging and detects unexpected
