2018 TESLA MODEL X key battery

1.With the key placed button side down on
a soft surface, use a small flat-bladed tool,
a fingernail, or the Tesla-provided tool* to
release the bottom cover.
*For convenience, Tesla provides a special
tool to make it easy to open the battery cover. This tool was included in the box
containing your key when Model X was
initially purchased.
Note: If a lanyard is attached to the key
(see Attaching a Lanyard on page 6),
you can release the bottom cover by
placing your thumb against the "X" on the bottom cover, then
firmly pulling the
lanyard toward you (hence pushing the
key
off of its cover). You can also pry the
cover off by placing a small flat-bladedtool, a fingernail, or the Tesla-provided
tool against the lanyard cord.
2. Remove the battery by sliding it out at an
angle.
3. Insert the new battery (type CR2354) with
the

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

About the Security SystemIf Model X does not detect a key nearby and a
locked door or trunk is opened, an alarm sounds and the headlights and turn signals
flash. To deactivate the alarm, press any
button on the key.
To manually enable or disable the alarm
system, touch Controls > Settings > Safety &
Security > Alarm . When set to ON, Model X
activates its alarm one minute after you exit,
the doors lock, and a recognized key is no
longer detected.
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
setting is on, the siren also sounds if Model X
detects motion inside the cabin or if the vehicle is moved or tilted (for example, with a
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 .

Using the Touchscreen147

If the charge port light turns red while
charging, a fault is detected. Check the instrument panel or touchscreen for a
message describing the fault. A fault can
occur due to something as common as a power outage. If a power outage occurs,
charging resumes automatically when power
is restored.
Note: When charging, particularly at high
currents, the refrigerant compressor and fan
operate as needed to keep the Battery cool. Therefore, it is normal to hear sounds during
charging.
Note: Air conditioning performance is
generally not
affected by charging. However,
under certain circumstances (for example, you
are charging at high currents during a
particularly warm day), the air coming from
the vents may not be as cool as expected and
a message displays on the instrument panel.
This is normal behavior and ensures that the Battery stays within an optimum temperature
range while charging to support longevity and
optimum performance.
Warning: Never spray liquid at a high
velocity (for example, if using a pressure
washer) towards the charge port while
charging. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in serious injury or
damage to the vehicle, charging
equipment, or property.
Stopping Charging
Stop charging at any time by disconnecting
the charge cable or touching Stop Charging
on the touchscreen.
Note: To prevent unauthorized unplugging of
the charge cable, Model X must be unlocked
or able to recognize your key before you can
disconnect the charge cable.
To disconnect the charge cable:
1. Press and hold the button on a Tesla
connector to release the latch. You can
also touch Stop Charging on the charging
screen (see Changing Charge Settings on
page 158).
2. Pull the connector from the charge port.
3. Push the charge port door closed.
Note: If Model X is equipped with a motorized
charge port door, it automatically closes when
you remove the charge cable.
Caution: Tesla strongly recommends
leaving Model X plugged in when not inuse. This maintains the Battery at the
optimum level of charge.
