2020 TESLA MODEL X warning

Warning: The trailer tongue weight must
be approximately 10% of the total trailer weight without exceeding the maximumtongue weights provided in Carrying
Capacity. Loads that are balanced over
the wheels or heavier in the rear can
cause trailer sway, resulting in loss of
vehicle control.Warning: Always ensure that cargo is
secured in the trailer and will not shift.
Dynamic load shifts can cause loss of
vehicle control, resulting in serious injury
or death.
Trailer Mode
Trailer Mode must always be active when
towing a trailer. When you connect a trailer

Note: Always remove the ball mount before
installing or removing the hitch receiver from
the vehicle (see Attaching and Removing the
Ball Mount on page 102).Warning: You must use the Model X trailer
hitch when towing a trailer. Never attempt
to attach a different type of trailer hitch.
Note: Always attach safety chains when
towing. Cross the chains under the trailer
tongue and attach to the trailer eyelets to
ensure the security of the trailer load.
To install the trailer hitch receiver:
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

3.Pull the locking cylinder out of the
adapter approximately 1/8" (0.5 cm), and
turn clockwise until the red marking on
the cylinder aligns with the white dot.Warning: Be careful when turning the
locking cylinder. If it does not lock
into the “Open Position”, it
automatically retracts into its original
“Closed Position” and can pinch your fingers.
4. Firmly grasp the hitch from the bottom
and align the triangular-shaped guides at
the sides of the hitch with the
corresponding cutouts in the hitch
housing.
Note: Do not grasp the locking cylinder
because it needs to rotate freely.
5. Push the hitch into the hitch housing until
the locking cylinder rotates approximately

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

Note: Your setting is retained until you
manually change it.
Warning: It is the driver

To resume cruising at the current drivingspeed, move the cruise control lever up or
down, then release.
Note: When Traffic-Aware Cruise Control
cancels, Model X does not coast. Instead, regenerative braking slows down Model X in
the same way as when you move your foot off
the accelerator when driving without Traffic-
Aware Cruise Control (see Regenerative
Braking on page 77).
Warning:
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control
cancels, or may not be available, in the
following situations:

If Autosteer is unable to detect lane markings,the driving lane is determined based on the
vehicle you are following.
In most cases, Autosteer attempts to center Model X in the driving lane. However, if the
sensors detect the presence of an obstacle (such as a vehicle or guard rail), Autosteer
may steer Model X in a driving path that is
offset from the center of the lane.Warning: Autosteer is not designed to,
and will not, steer Model X around objects
partially or completely in the driving lane.
Always watch the road in front of you and
stay prepared to take appropriate action. It is the driver

Whenever Navigate on Autopilot is active, the
instrument panel displays the driving lane as a
single blue line in front of Model X:
When Navigate on Autopilot is active and you
approach an off-ramp or freeway interchange
along your navigation route, the appropriate
turn signal engages and Autosteer maneuvers Model X onto the off-ramp or interchange.
Warning:
Never depend on Navigate on
Autopilot to determine an appropriate lane at an off-ramp. Stay alert and
perform visual checks to ensure that the driving lane is safe and appropriate.
When you leave a controlled-access road (for
example, you exit a freeway or you enter a section of the navigation route that is nolonger supported), Navigate on Autopilot
reverts back to Autosteer
