Steering Wheel
Adjusting Steering Effort
You can adjust the feel and sensitivity of the
steering system to suit your personal preference:
1. On the touchscreen, touch Controls >
Driving > Steering Mode .
2. Choose a steering option:

2.Hold down both scroll buttons on the
steering wheel until the touchscreen turns
black.
3. After a few seconds, the Tesla logo
appears. Wait approximately 30 seconds for the touchscreen to restart. If the
touchscreen is still unresponsive or
demonstrating unusual behavior after a
few minutes, try power cycling the vehicle.
See Power Cycling the Vehicle on page
62.
Note: Restarting the touchscreen using the
scroll buttons does not power Model X off and
on.
Power Cycling the Vehicle
If your vehicle demonstrates unusual behavior or a nondescript alert is present, you can try
power cycling the vehicle to potentially
resolve the issue.
1. Shift into Park.
2. On the touchscreen, touch Controls >
Safety & Security > Power Off.
3. Wait for at least two minutes without
interacting with the vehicle. Do not open
the doors, touch the brake pedal, touch the touchscreen, etc.
4. After two minutes have passed, press the
brake pedal or open the door to wake the
vehicle.

IndicatorDescriptionHigh beam headlights are temporarily turned off because Auto High Beam is on
and is detecting light in front of Model X. When light is no longer detected, the
high beams automatically turn back on. See High Beam Headlights on page 67.Parking lights (side marker lights, tail lights, and license plate lights) are on. See
Lights on page 65.Front fog lights, if equipped. See Lights on page 65.Adaptive Front Lighting, if equipped. See Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS)

Instrument Panel - DrivingWhen Model X is driving (or ready to drive), the instrument panel shows your current driving
status and a real-time visualization of the road as detected by the Autopilot components (see
About Autopilot on page 106). The visualization automatically zooms in and out as needed to
inform you when a vehicle is detected in your blind spot.
Note: The following illustration is provided for demonstration purposes only. Depending on vehicle
options, software version, and market region, the information displayed may be slightly different.
1.Indicator lights display along the top to provide status (see Instrument Panel Overview on
page 69).
2. When you are actively navigating to a destination, navigation instructions display here. Use
the left steering wheel buttons to change what displays on the left side of the instrument
panel whenever navigation instructions are not displayed (see Using Left Steering Wheel
Buttons on page 56).
3. Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is cruising at a set speed. When Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is
available but you haven

Braking and Stopping
Braking Systems
Warning: Properly functioning braking
systems are critical to ensure safety. If you experience a problem with the brake
pedal, brake caliper, or any component of
a Model X braking system, contact Tesla
immediately.
Model X has an anti-lock braking system
(ABS) that prevents the wheels from locking
when you apply maximum brake pressure. This
improves steering control during heavy
braking in most road conditions.
During emergency braking conditions, the
ABS constantly monitors the speed of each
wheel and varies the brake pressure according
to the grip available.
The alteration of brake pressure can be felt as
a pulsing sensation through the brake pedal.
This demonstrates that the ABS is operating
and is not a cause for concern. Keep firm and
steady pressure on the brake pedal while
experiencing the pulsing.
The ABS indicator brie
