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:

High Beam HeadlightsPush the left-hand steering column lever away
from you. To cancel, pull the lever toward you.
The high beam headlights can automatically
switch to low beam when there is light
detected in front of Model X (for example,
from an oncoming vehicle). To turn this
feature on, touch Controls > Auto High Beam .
Note: Your chosen setting is retained until you
manually change it. It can also be saved in
your driver profile.
In situations where high beams are turned off
because AUTO HIGH BEAM is turned on and light is detected in front of Model X, you cantemporarily turn on high beams by pulling the
lever all the way toward you.
The following indicator lights are visible on the
instrument panel when high beams are turned
on:
High beam headlights are on.
Illuminates when high beams are on but the Auto High Beam setting is
turned off or if the Auto High Beam
setting is turned on but is
termporarily unavaible.High beams are currently turned on,
and Auto High Beam is ready to turn
off the high beams if light is
detected in front of Model X.High beams 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.

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

To wipe the windshield, rotate the end of the
left-hand steering column lever away from
you. The steering column lever has five
positions:

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:
