Climate Controls
Overview of Climate Controls
The climate controls are always available at the bottom of the touchscreen. By default, climate control is set to Auto, which maintains optimum comfort in all but the most severe weather conditions. When you adjust the temperature, the system automatically adjusts the heating, air
conditioning, air distribution, air circulation, and fan speed to maintain your selected temperature.
To override these settings, touch Auto (see Customizing Climate Control on page 128).
The fan, heating, and air conditioning systems are powered by the Battery. Therefore, prolonged
use decreases driving range.
Note: The following illustration is provided for demonstration purposes only. Depending on vehicle
options, software version, market region, and settings, the information displayed may be slightly
different.
1. The front seats are equipped with heating pads that operate at three levels from 3 (highest) to
1 (lowest). When operating, the indicator turns red and displays the setting number.
If equipped with ventilated seats, the front seats are equipped with heating/cooling pads.
When operating, the top indicator turns red when heating or the bottom indicator turns blue
when cooling.
Note: If Model X is equipped with the optional cold weather package, you can also control
seat heaters in the rear seats, heated wipers, and heated steering wheel by touching Controls > Cold Weather (see Controls on page 117).
2. Touch the up or down arrow to set the cabin temperature. To apply a temperature setting to
both the driver and passenger side at the same time, touch SYNC TEMP on the temperature
popup that appears when you touch an arrow.
3. Touch the fan icon to customize and automate climate control settings for the front and rear
cabin. (See Customizing Climate Control on page 128.)
Note: Rear climate controls are available only if Model X is equipped with six or seven seating
positions.
4. The windshield defroster distributes air

injury, or some other condition, should exercise caution when using the climate controlsystem and seat heaters.

Customizing Climate ControlThe climate control system is designed to automatically provide optimum comfort in most
situations. All you need to do is set the desired temperature, and the air conditioning, air
recirculation, air distribution, and fan speed automatically maintain your selected temperature. You can even keep the climate control system on while you are away from the vehicle so that the
selected temperature is maintained.
To override the automatic setting, touch FRONT or REAR to customize individual settings for the
front or rear seating areas. Then touch the setting you want to change. Touch RESET AUTO to
change all settings on the panel back to their defaults. Or, you can touch AUTO associated with
any individual setting to change it back to its default.
Note: Rear climate controls are available only if Model X is equipped with six or seven seating
positions.
In addition to the five settings shown above (and described below), if Model X is in Park, a Climate
Timer displays below the above popup (see Keep Climate On on page 131).
1. Touch RESET AUTO to change all settings on the currently displayed customization panel
back to their default values.
2. Touch A/C ON or A/C OFF to turn the air conditioning on and off, respectively. Turning it off
reduces cooling, but saves energy.
Because Model X runs much quieter than a gasoline-powered vehicle, you may notice the
sound of the A/C compressor as it is operating. To minimize noise, reduce the fan speed.

Rear Cabin Climate Controls (6 and 7 seat vehicles only)
Note: When set to AUTO, the rear heating and air conditioning turn off when Model X detects that
there are no occupants in the second or third row seats. To override this energy saving feature and
save the settings until you manually change them, touch the AUTO button located above the
Climate On/Climate Off setting. Touching AUTO a second time cancels your manual setting and
resumes the energy saving feature.
1. Touch RESET AUTO to change all settings back to their default values.
2. Touch CLIMATE ON or CLIMATE OFF to turn the air conditioning on and off, respectively.
Turning it off reduces cooling, but saves energy.
Note: Because Model X runs much quieter than a gasoline-powered vehicle, you may notice
the sound of the A/C compressor as it is operating. To minimize noise, reduce the fan speed
or recirculate the air.
3. Touch the arrows to adjust the temperature.
4. Touch the arrows to set the speed of the fan.
