set to ON, all interior cabin lights, including the light in the rear trunk, turn on when you
unlock Model X, open a door upon exiting, or shift into P (Park). They turn off after 60
seconds, when you lock Model X, or when you shift into a driving gear. If set to AUTO, cabin
lights turn on only when little or no light is detected.

optional front fog lights are on.
6. If Model X is equipped with a coil suspension system, you can adjust the angle of the
headlights to accommodate the load you are carrying. You may need to lower the angle of theheadlights to avoid blinding oncoming drivers in situations when you are carrying a significant
amount of weight in the rear trunk. After touching LEVEL, drag the slider to the desired
position:

occupied and only the front trunk is laden.1Headlights are lowered one level. Suitable when the front and rear seats are occupied and the rear trunk is laden.2Headlights are lowered two levels. Suitable when carrying heavy loads.
Note: Headlight adjustments are not available if Model X is equipped with Smart Air
Suspension because Model X levels automatically.

Towing Guidelines
Model X is designed primarily as a passenger-
carrying vehicle. Towing a trailer puts additional load on the motor, drive train,brakes, tires, and suspension and significantly
decreases range. If you decide to tow a trailer,
proceed with caution and follow these general
guidelines:

1.Close
Touch the circled X in the top left corner of a window to close it (or you can touch anywhere
outside the window).
2. Doors
Touch to open or close doors.
3. Seats
If Model X is equipped with monopost second row seats, touch to move the second row seats
forward or backward (see Adjusting Second Row Monopost Seats on page 21).
4. Suspension
If Model X is equipped with Smart Air Suspension, touch to manually raise or lower Model X, or to remove a previously saved auto-raising location (see Smart Air Suspension on page 133).
Model X must be powered on and you must press the brake pedal before you can change
suspension settings. Smart Air Suspension causes Model X to self-level, even when powered off. Therefore, when towing or lifting, you must disable self-leveling (see Instructions for
Transporters on page 195 and Jacking and Lifting on page 176).
