2019 TESLA MODEL X brake

When you use the touchscreen to
manually apply the parking brake,
the red parking brake indicator lights
up on the instrument panel .If the parking brake experiences an
electrical issue, the amber parking brake indicator lights up and a fault
message displays at the top of the
instrument panel.Caution: In the unlikely event that
Model X loses electrical power, you
cannot access the touchscreen and are
therefore unable to release the parking
brake. Contact Tesla.

Traction Control
How It Works The traction control system constantly
monitors the speed of the front and rear
wheels. If Model X experiences a loss of
traction, the system minimizes wheel spin by
controlling brake pressure and motor power.
By default, the traction control system is on. Under normal conditions, it should remain on
to ensure maximum safety.

Vehicle Hold
When Model X is stopped, Vehicle Hold can
continue to apply the brakes even after you
remove your foot from the brake pedal. When
driving on a hill or on a

Towing Capacity
The total trailer weight (including all cargo and additional equipment), and the trailer tongue
weight, must never exceed the following:TiresMaximum Towing Capacity*Maximum Tongue Weight**19"***, 20" or 22"2250 kg90 kg
*Tesla recommends a separate braking system on trailers with a loaded weight of over 450 kg. Thebraking system must be appropriate for the weight of the trailer. Follow the instructions providedby the trailer brake manufacturer to ensure that trailer brakes are properly installed, adjusted, and
maintained.
**The tongue weight is the downward force that the weight of the trailer exerts on the hitch. It must not be less than 4% of the trailer load. Carrying a significant amount of equipment,
passengers, or cargo in the tow vehicle can reduce the tongue weight it can handle, which also
reduces the maximum towing capacity. Maximum towing capacity is calculated assuming the
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) is not exceeded. The GVWR is printed on the Statutory
Plate (see Statutory Plate on page 189).
***A Model X with 19" winter tires supports towing ONLY if equipped with these specific tires:

you are actively navigating to a
destination and not following the route.Warning: Traffic-Aware Cruise Control
cannot detect all objects and, especially
in situations when you are driving over 80 km/h, may not brake/decelerate when
a vehicle or object is only partially in the
driving lane or when a vehicle you are
following moves out of your driving path and a stationary or slow-moving vehicle
or object is in front of you. Always pay
attention to the road ahead and stay
prepared to take immediate corrective
action. Depending on Traffic-Aware
Cruise Control to avoid a collision can
result in serious injury or death. In
addition, Traffic-Aware Cruise Control
may react to vehicles or objects that
either do not exist or are not in the lane of travel, causing Model X to slow down
unnecessarily or inappropriately.Warning: Traffic-Aware Cruise Control
may be unable to provide adequate
speed control because of limited braking capability and hills. It can also misjudgethe distance from a vehicle ahead. Driving
downhill can increase driving speed, causing Model X to exceed your set
speed (and potentially the road

Warning: Forward Collision Warning is
designed only to provide visual and
audible alerts. It does not attempt to
apply the brakes or decelerate Model X.
When seeing and/or hearing a warning, it

Obstacle-Aware AccelerationObstacle-Aware Acceleration is designed toreduce the impact of a collision by reducing
motor torque and in some cases applying the
brakes, if Model X detects an object in its driving path. For example, Model X, while
parked in front of a closed garage door with
the Drive gear engaged, detects that you have
pressed hard on the accelerator pedal.
Although Model X still accelerates and hits the
garage door, the reduced torque may result in
less damage.
Obstacle-Aware Acceleration is designed to
operate only when all of these conditions are
simultaneously met:
