2023 TESLA MODEL X key fob

CAUTION: Protect the key from impact, high
temperatures, and damage from liquids. Avoid
contact with solvents, waxes, and abrasive
cleaners.
Passive Locking and Unlocking
Locking and unlocking Model X with your key fob is
conveniently hands-free. Although you must be carrying a paired key fob, there is no need to use it.
Model X has
sensors around the vehicle that can recognize the
presence of a key fob within a range of approximately
six feet (two meters). Therefore, you can keep your key
fob in your pocket or purse and press the door handle to
unlock and extend the handle. When carrying your key
fob with you, you can also open the trunk without having to use the key by pressing the
liftgate

NOTE: CR2354 batteries can be purchased from any
retailer that sells batteries.

fob, then press the cover
firmly onto the key fob until
it snaps into place.
5.
Test that the key fob works by unlocking and locking
Model X.
WARNING: Key fob batteries contain a chemical
burn hazard and should not be ingested. The key
fob contains a coin cell battery. If the coin cell
battery is swallowed, it can cause severe internal
burns within two hours and can lead to death.
Keep new and used batteries away from children. If
the battery compartment does not close securely,
stop using the product and keep it away from
children. If you think batteries might have been
swallowed or placed inside any part of the body,
seek immediate medical attention.
Attaching a Lanyard
To attach a lanyard, release the bottom cover as
described above. Place the lanyard over the pin located between the slots on the widest side of the key fob. Re-align the cover and snap into place.
Managing Keys
To display a list of all keys (phone keys, key cards, and key fobs) that can access your
Model X, touch Controls
> Locks. An icon displays next to each key to indicate
whether the key is a phone key, key card, or key fob. Use
this list to manage keys that have access to your
Model X. To add or delete keys, see Adding and
Removing Keys on page 17.
Model X supports up to 19 keys. When you reach this
limit, you must delete a key before adding a new one.
NOTE: You can use the same key for more than one
Model X. This prevents you from having to deal with
multiple keys when you switch vehicles. If you customize the name of an authenticated key card or key fob on one
Model X (by touching the pencil icon), any other
Model X to which the key card or key fob is
authenticated also displays the changed name.

NOTE: When adding a key fob, ensure it is at room
temperature. Pairing a key fob that is very cold can be unsuccessful.

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

About the Security System
If Model X does not detect a key nearby and a locked
door or trunk is opened, an alarm sounds. The headlights and turn signals also
flash. To deactivate the
alarm, press any button on the key fob.
To manually enable or disable the alarm system, touch
Controls > Safety > Security Alarm. When enabled,
Model X activates its alarm one minute after you exit,
the doors lock, and a recognized key is no longer
detected.
A battery-backed siren (if equipped) sounds in situations where a locked door or trunk is opened and
Model X does not detect a key nearby. If you also want
this siren to sound in situations where the vehicle
detects motion inside the cabin, enable Tilt/Intrusion
(see Tilt/Intrusion (if equipped) on page 150).
NOTE: If Model X is in Sentry Mode (see How to Use
Sentry Mode (Camera + App) on page 153), you must
disable Sentry Mode before you can disable the Security
alarm or the Tilt/Intrusion alarm.
Tilt/Intrusion (if equipped)
Depending on configuration, market region, and date of
manufacture, your vehicle may not be equipped with this
feature.
The Security Alarm must be on to enable Tilt/Intrusion.
Tilt/Intrusion sounds the alarm in your vehicle if Model X
detects motion inside the cabin, or is moved or tilted
(for example, with a tow truck or jack). To enable, touch
Controls > Safety > Tilt/Intrusion.
The intrusion sensor automatically disables in situations where the climate control system is operating when you leave your vehicle. To override, you can manually turn the Tilt/Intrusion Sensor on again after choosing Keep
Climate On, Dog, or Camp Mode.
The tilt/intrusion sensor automatically re-enables at the start of every drive cycle.
NOTE: If you plan to leave something that moves inside
your locked vehicle, remember to turn
off Tilt/Intrusion.
If this setting is on, any motion detected inside
Model X
activates the intrusion alarm.
Enhanced Anti-Theft Upgrade (if
equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped with the Enhanced Anti-Theft upgrade, the horn sounds in situations where a locked door or trunk is opened and
Model X does not detect a
key nearby. If
Tilt/Intrusion is on, the horn also sounds if
Model X detects motion inside the cabin or if the vehicle
is moved or tilted (for example, with a tow truck or jack).
To turn the Tilt/Intrusion detection system on or
off,

touch Controls > Safety > Tilt/Intrusion.
PIN to Drive
To increase security, you can prevent Model X from
being driven until a 4-digit PIN (Personal
Identification
Number) is entered. To enable this setting, touch
Controls > Safety > PIN to Drive and follow the on-
screen prompts to create a driving PIN.
When enabled, in addition to entering the 4-digit driving PIN to drive, you must also use it to enter Valet mode for the
first time and create the 4-digit valet PIN to enter
and exit Valet mode. In Valet mode,
Model X can be
driven without the need for the valet to enter a driving PIN. The
PIN to Drive setting is disabled whenever Valet
mode is active.
If you forget your driving PIN, touch the link to enter your Tesla login credentials on the PIN to Drive popup,
then follow the on-screen prompts.
NOTE: In the unlikely event that your touchscreen is
unresponsive, you may be unable to enter the PIN. In this case,
first try to restart the touchscreen (see Restarting
the Touchscreen on page 9). If the touchscreen is still
unresponsive, you can still bypass PIN to Drive by turning on Keyless Driving in the Tesla mobile app.
Glovebox PIN
For additional security, you can protect the contents in
your glovebox with a 4-digit PIN. To enable this setting,
touch
Controls > Safety > Glovebox PIN and follow the
on-screen prompts. When enabled, you are prompted to
enter the PIN to open the glovebox. To disable this
setting, select the toggle to disable and then enter the PIN.
If you forget your glovebox PIN, reset it by entering your Tesla login credentials, then follow the on-screen
prompts.
NOTE: Using a Glovebox PIN allows the glovebox to be
opened even when
Model X is in Valet mode.
Speed Limit Mode
Speed Limit Mode allows you to limit acceleration and
limit the maximum driving speed to a chosen value
between
50 and 120 mph (80 and 193 km/h). The first
time you use this feature, you must create a 4-digit PIN
that you must use to enable and disable Speed Limit Mode. When enabled and the driving speed approaches within approximately
3 mph (5 km/h) of the maximum
speed, a chime sounds, the
instrument cluster displays a
message, and
Model X sends a notification to the mobile
app. You can also touch
Security > Speed Limit Mode to
enable from the Tesla mobile app. To enable Speed Limit Mode:
