CAUTION: Depending on configuration (such as

IndicatorDescriptionIf a fault is detected with the Adaptive Front Lighting this indicator displays, if equipped. See
Adaptive Front Lighting
System (AFS) on page 69.
This indicator flashes amber when the
electronic stability control systems are actively minimizing wheel spin by
controlling brake pressure and motor
power. See
Traction Control on page 79.
If this indicator remains on, a fault is detected and you should immediately contact Tesla.
If a fault is detected that reduces the performance of the air suspension system, this amber indicator light
displays (see
Air Suspension on page
146). If the problem persists, contact
Tesla.
If a fault is detected that disables the air suspension system, this red indicator light displays (see
Air Suspension on
page 146). Contact Tesla.
Vehicle Hold is actively applying the brakes. See
Vehicle Hold on page 82.
Electronic stability control systems are no longer minimizing wheel spin. See
Traction Control on page 79.
Model X is in Transport mode and can roll
freely. It does not automatically shift into Park when you exit. See
Activate
Transport Mode on page 222.
Trailer mode (if equipped) is active. See
Towing and Accessories on page 87.
A blue snowflake appears when some of
the energy stored in the Battery may not be available due to cold weather
conditions. During these cold weather
conditions, charging rates may also be limited. If
Model X is plugged in, you can
heat your Battery by turning on climate control with the mobile app. The
snowflake disappears when the Battery is
sufficiently warm.
IndicatorDescriptionA green icon appears when regenerative
braking is limited. See
Regenerative
Braking on page 77 for more information.
Vehicle power is currently being limited
because the energy remaining in the
Battery is low, the vehicle

NOTE: When Model X starts, you may hear the sound of
the compressor as the air suspension system

to display detailed information about the dampers for each wheel, including ride height, compression and
rebound values, and body accelerations.
Auto-Raising Locations
Whenever you raise the suspension to High or Very
High, the location is automatically saved. By saving the
location, you do not need to manually raise the
suspension every time you arrive at a frequently-used location where you have previously raised the
suspension. When you return to the saved location,
Model X raises the suspension and the instrument panel
displays a message indicating that the suspension is being raised.
When saving locations, Model X also saves the Keep
until XX mph setting (if specified).
NOTE: When returning to a saved location and driving
faster than the
High and Very High suspension settings
allow, the suspension does not raise until
Model X slows
down.
NOTE: After leaving a saved location, the suspension
automatically lowers. However, it may not lower until
Model X meets the speed and distance threshold at
which the suspension lowers.
NOTE: If Model X reaches a saved location and the
existing suspension setting is already higher than the level that has been saved for that location, the ride height is not adjusted.
To remove an auto-raising location
If you do not want the suspension to automatically raise at a location, touch to deselect
Always raise at this
location in the popup that appears when you arrive at a
saved location.
Or, when using the Raise Suspension
shortcut on the main Controls window, touch to deselect
Location Saved.
Self-Leveling
Model X equipped with air suspension automatically
self-levels, even when power is
off. To prevent damage
when jacking or lifting the vehicle, you must activate
Jack Mode to disable self-leveling (press the brake pedal
and touch
Controls > Service > Jack Mode). For more
details, see
Jack Mode on page 202.

Jacking Procedure
Follow the steps below to lift Model X. Ensure that any
non-Tesla repair facility is aware of these lifting points.
1.
Position Model X centrally between the lift posts.
2.
If your Model X is equipped with air suspension, it
automatically self-levels, even when power is
off (see
Jack Mode on page 202). Use the touchscreen to set
the suspension as follows:

Disable the Self-Leveling Air Suspension System
NOTE: If Model X has no low voltage power, you need an
external
low voltage power supply to use the
touchscreen. See
If Vehicle Has No Power on page 224.
Your Model X is equipped with an air suspension system
that automatically self-levels the vehicle, even when
power is
off. To prevent damage, you must activate Jack
mode to disable self-leveling:
1.
Touch Controls > Suspension on the touchscreen.
2.
Press the brake pedal, and then touch Very High to
maximize height.
3.
Touch Controls > Service > Jack Mode.
NOTE: Jack mode cancels when driving speed exceeds
4 mph (7 km/h).
Activate Transport Mode
Transport Mode keeps the parking brake disengaged
while winching
Model X onto a flatbed truck. When
active, Transport Mode displays a message indicating that the vehicle will remain free-rolling. The following are required to enable Transport Mode:
