Interior Overview
6MODEL X Owner
Front Door Reset
Since your Model X does not have traditional door
handles that you can pull from the outside, it is
equipped with pop actuators (sometimes referred to as "ice breakers") that are used to assist in opening the front doors in cases where resistance is detected, such as ice buildup in cold weather. The pop actuator is located just above the front door latch and extends as necessary to open the front door. Once the front door opens slightly, the pop actuator gently retracts back into
the door.
If the pop actuator is unable to retract because it is
stuck to or caught on something, the pop actuator can be extended manually to extract the object by
performing the following:
1.
Carefully close the door latch using a pen, screwdriver, or comparable tool (never use a
finger or
body part and avoid damaging the paint);
Model X
will detect this as though the door is closed.
2.
Make sure Model X is unlocked, then press the
exterior door handle or pull the interior door handle
to reset the latch and extend the pop actuator.
3.
As the pop actuator extends out from the door, quickly extract the object.
WARNING: The pop actuator will attempt to
retract back into the door almost immediately
after the door handle is pressed or pulled. The
pop actuator retracts gently, but will not release
automatically if something gets caught.
WARNING: As with all mechanical and moving
parts on the vehicle, never put body parts in, or
near, moving components. Make sure children are
monitored when opening and closing doors.
Interacting with moving components, including the
pop actuator, can cause serious damage or bodily
injury.
Interior Locking and Unlocking
While sitting inside Model X, you can lock and unlock all
doors and trunks by touching the lock icon
in Controls.
The icon changes to indicate whether
doors are locked or unlocked.
Walk-Away Door Lock
Doors and trunks can automatically lock when you walk away carrying your phone key or paired key fob. To turn
this feature on or
off, touch Controls > Locks > Walk-
Away Door Lock.
When the doors lock, the exterior lights flash once and
the mirrors fold (if
Fold Mirrors is on). To also hear a
confirmation sound when Model X locks, touch Controls
> Locks > Lock Confirmation Sound.
Model X does not automatically lock if:
Controlling Lights
Touch Controls > Lights to control the lights.
NOTE: You can also access an abbreviated lights menu
while driving by touching the High Beam button on the
steering yoke (or steering wheel). A lights menu displays
on the touchscreen, providing quick access to headlight controls.
In addition to the lights that you can control from the
touchscreen,
Model X has convenience lights that turn
on and
off automatically based on what you are doing.
For example, interior lights, marker lights, tail lights, and
puddle lights turn on when you unlock
Model X, when
you open a door, and when you shift into Park. They turn
off automatically after a minute or two or when you shift
or lock
Model X.
Exterior Lights
Exterior lights (headlights, tail lights, side marker lights,
parking lights, and license plate lights) are set to
Auto
each time you start Model X. When set to Auto, exterior
lights automatically turn on when driving in low lighting
conditions. If you change to a
different setting, lights
always revert to
Auto on your next drive.
