2019 TESLA MODEL X ECU

Gears
Shifting Gears When Model X is in Park, you must press the
brake to shift to another gear.
Move the lever up or down to change gears.
If you try to shift into a gear that the current
driving speed prohibits, a chime sounds and
the gear does not change.
Reverse
Push the lever all the way up and release. You
can only shift into Reverse when Model X is
stopped or moving less than 8 km/h. If moving
less than 1.6 km/h, you must press the brake.
Neutral
Push the lever up or down to the first position
and release to shift into Neutral. Neutral allows
Model X to roll freely when you are not
pressing the brake pedal.
If Model X is in Park and you use the
touchscreen to release the parking brake
( Controls > Safety & Security ), Model X shifts
into Neutral (see Parking Brake on page 73).
Drive
Push the lever all the way down and release.
You can shift into Drive when Model X is stopped or moving less than 8 km/h inReverse. If Model X is moving less than
1.6 km/h, you must press the brake to shift into Drive.
Park
Press the end of the gear selector while Model X is stopped. Whenever Model X is in Park, the parking brake is applied.
Model X automatically shifts into Park
whenever you connect a charge cable or if
two or more of the following conditions are
met simultaneously:

Note: If regenerative braking is aggressively
slowing Model X (such as when your foot is
completely off the accelerator pedal at
highway speeds), the brake lights turn on to
alert others that you are slowing down.Warning: In snowy or icy conditions
Model X may experience traction loss
during regenerative braking, particularly
when in the Standard setting and/or not
using winter tires. Tesla recommends
using the Low setting (see To Set the
Regenerative Braking Level on page 73)
in snowy or icy conditions to help
maintain vehicle stability.
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 53).
The amount of energy fed back to the Battery using regenerative braking can depend on thecurrent state of the Battery and the charge
level setting that you are using. For example,
regenerative braking may be limited if the Battery is already fully charged or if the
ambient temperature is too cold.
Note: If regenerative braking is limited, a
dashed yellow line displays on the power
meter.
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:

Caution: Keep sensors clean from dirt,
debris, snow, and ice. Avoid using a high
pressure power washer on the sensors
and do not clean a sensor with a sharp or abrasive object that can scratch or
damage its surface.Caution: Do not install accessories or
stickers on or near the parking sensors.
Controlling Audible Feedback
You can use Park Assist with or without
audible feedback. To turn chimes on or off,
touch Controls > Safety & Security > Park
Assist Chimes .
To mute the chimes temporarily, press the
scroll button on the left side of the steering
wheel or touch the mute button in the corner
of the Park Assist view. The chimes are muted
until you shift into a different gear or drive
over 8 km/h.
Limitations and False Warnings The parking sensors may not function
correctly in these situations:

1.Remove the dust cover from the hitch
housing.
Note: Newer versions of Model X have two
push clips that secure the dust cover to
the vehicle. To open, use a sharp object,
such as a

Safety &
SecurityYou can manually apply and release the PARKING BRAKE see Parking Brake
on page 73), POWER OFF the vehicle (see Powering Off on page 58), limit
the acceleration and max speed (see Speed Limit Mode on page 132), and
turn the following features on or off:

Security Settings
About the Security System
If 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

prior to the event that triggered the Alert
state, provided that a properly configured USB
drive is inserted into one of the USB ports (see Dashcam on page 85).
In the Alarm state, the security alarm
activates, the audio system generates a loud
and unexpected sound, and the message on
the touchscreen increases to maximum brightness. Sentry Mode returns from Alarm to
Standby after 30 seconds.
Location-Based Settings
You can customize Sentry Mode to
automatically enable near certain locations
when the vehicle is parked. The available
settings are:

3.Fully insert the tow eye into the opening,
then turn it counter-clockwise until
securely fastened.
4. Attach the winch cable to the tow eye.
Caution: Before pulling, make sure the
tow eye is securely fastened.
5. Activate Transport Mode by touching
Controls > Service > Towing .
6. Pull Model X slowly onto the
