Interior Overview
6MODEL X Owner

NOTE: CR2354 batteries can be purchased from any
retailer that sells batteries.
4.
Holding the bottom cover at an angle, align the tabs on the cover with the corresponding slots on the key
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.
Adding and Removing Keys
To add a new key card or key fob:
NOTE: When adding a key fob, ensure it is at room
temperature. Pairing a key fob that is very cold can be unsuccessful.
1.
On the touchscreen, touch Controls > Locks > Keys >
Add Key.
2.
Scan your new key card or key fob on the card reader located on the wireless phone charger. To scan the
key fob:


WARNING: Before opening or closing a falcon
wing door, it is important to check that the area
around the door is free of obstacles (people and
objects). Although the doors have many sensors, it
can not detect all objects at all times, particularly
when moving. At any given moment, there may be
areas near the door that are not in the detection
zone. Therefore, when opening or closing a falcon
wing door, you and your passengers must stand
away from the door as it is moving, while
proactively monitoring the door

CAUTION: In rainy weather, leaving a falcon wing
open while opening the liftgate can result in rain
water falling from the liftgate into the rear seating
area.
WARNING: When opening or closing a falcon wing
door, it is important to proactively monitor the
movement of the door to ensure that it does not
come into contact with a person or object. Failure
to do so can cause serious damage or injury.
Obstacle Detection
A falcon wing door stops moving when one of its many
sensors detects an obstacle, or when the door senses resistance because it has made contact with an object. The touchscreen displays a warning. In these cases, provided it is appropriate to continue opening or closing the falcon wing door, you can override obstacle
detection by pressing and holding the switch located on the door pillar, or touching and holding the associated door icon on the touchscreen.
When Model X detects a low ceiling (for example, in a garage), it opens the falcon wing doors (and trunk) to a lower height, even if no obstacle is detected. You can override this height and open the doors higher by
touching the associated door icon on the touchscreen (
Controls). The touchscreen displays a message asking
you if you always want to open the doors to the higher height at this location, and saves your choice. The next time you open the falcon wing doors at this location, Model X opens them to the height you saved.
WARNING: Before overriding a falcon wing door

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:

Drive Away Locking
Model X automatically locks all doors (including the
trunks) when your driving speed exceeds
5 mph
(8 km/h)8 km/h.
Driver Door Unlock Mode
Enabling Controls > Locks > Driver Door Unlock Mode
only unlocks the driver door when you first unlock
Model X. The driver door unlocks only if a key is present
on the driver side of the vehicle and not the passenger side. To unlock the remaining doors, use the touchscreen, mobile app or press the key fob a second
time.
Car Left Open Notifications
To receive a mobile notification if a door, trunk and/or
window is left open or if
Model X is left unlocked
unexpectedly, touch
Controls > Locks > Car Left Open
Notifications.
Child Locks
Model X has child locks on the rear doors to prevent
them from being opened using the interior release buttons. On the touchscreen,
touch Controls > Locks >
Child Lock. You can choose Both to engage the child
lock on both rear doors, or you can choose
Left or Right
to engage it on just a specific door.
WARNING: It is recommended that you turn on
child locks when children are seated in the rear
seats.
Unlock on Park
When you stop Model X and engage Park, you can
choose to unlock all doors. To turn this feature on or
off,

touch Controls > Locks > Unlock on Park.
