2019 TESLA MODEL X parking brake

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).

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.

power is off. To prevent damage, you must
activate Jack Mode to disable self-leveling:
1. Touch Controls > Suspension on the
touchscreen.
2. Press the brake pedal, then touch Very

3. Touch Jack.When Jack Mode is active, Model X
displays this red indicator light on
the instrument panel, along with a
message telling you that active
suspension is disabled.
Note: Jack Mode cancels when driving speed
exceeds 7 kph.
Warning: Failure to activate Jack Mode on
a vehicle equipped with the air
suspension system can result in the
vehicle becoming loose during transport,
which may cause significant damage.
