Steering Wheel
Adjusting Position Adjust the steering wheel to the desireddriving position by moving the control on the
left side of the steering column. Using this
control, you can move the steering wheel forward and backward and up and down.
Warning: Do not make adjustments while
driving.
Adjusting Sensitivity
You can adjust the feel and sensitivity of the
steering system to suit your personal
preference:
1. On the touchscreen, touch Controls.
2. Choose a steering option:

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 will automatically turn back on. See High Beam Headlights on page
62.Parking lights (side marker lights, tail lights, and license plate lights) are on. See
Lights on page 59.Front fog lights (optional). See Lights on page 59.Rear fog lights. See Lights on page 59.Adaptive Front Lighting (if equipped). See Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS)
on page 62.Electronic stability control systems are actively minimizing wheel spin by
controlling brake pressure and motor power (indicator

The turn signals stop operating when canceledby the steering wheel, or when you return the
lever to the central position.
The corresponding turn signal
indicator lights up on the instrument
panel when a turn signal is
operating. You also hear a clicking
sound.Warning: If you have purchased the
optional Enhanced Autopilot or Full Self-
Driving Capability packages and Traffic-
Aware Cruise Control is active, engaging
a turn signal can cause Model X to
accelerate when using Traffic-Aware
Cruise Control in specific situations (see
Overtake Acceleration on page 92).Warning: If you have purchased the
optional Enhanced Autopilot or Full Self-
Driving Capability packages and
Autosteer is active, engaging a turn signal
may cause Model X to change lanes (see Auto Lane Change on page 98).
Lane Change Flash
To indicate a lane change, quickly press the
lever up or down against the spring pressure,
then release. The corresponding turn signal

Brakes
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

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 66)
in snowy or icy conditions to help maintain vehicle stability.
The Energy app displays real-time feedbackon 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 46).
The amount of energy fed back to the Battery using regenerative braking can depend on the
current 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:
