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:

Center Console
In addition to housing an RFID transmitter that reads key fobs and key cards (see
Keys on page 13), the center
console includes cup holders, two storage
compartments, wireless phone chargers, and a rear
touchscreen.
To open the main storage compartment, pull its cover upward. Open the front storage compartment by sliding its cover forward.
Model X has two cupholders that slide out under the
rear touchscreen.
Glovebox
To open the glovebox, touch Controls > Glovebox. The
glovebox automatically opens and the light turns on.
To close the glovebox, push it upward until it latches into the closed position.
For additional glovebox security, touch Controls >
Safety > Glovebox PIN to set a 4-digit PIN (see
Glovebox PIN on page 150).
NOTE: If you leave the glovebox open, its light
eventually turns
off.
NOTE: The glovebox locks whenever closed and you
lock
Model X using the mobile app, key card, you leave
Model X carrying your phone key (if Walk-Away Door
Lock is turned on), or if Valet mode is active (see
Valet
Mode on page 58). It does not lock when Model X is
locked by touching the lock icon on the touchscreen.
WARNING: When driving, keep the glovebox
closed to prevent injury to a passenger if a
collision or sudden stop occurs.
USB Ports
Model X has five USB ports:

Wearing Seat Belts
Using seat belts and child safety seats is the most
effective way to protect occupants if a collision occurs.
Therefore, wearing a seat belt is required by law in most jurisdictions.
Both the driver and passenger seats are equipped with three-point inertia reel seat belts. Inertia reel belts are automatically tensioned to allow occupants to move
comfortably during normal driving conditions.
To
securely hold child safety seats, all passenger seating
positions are equipped with an automatic locking
retractor (ALR) feature that, by fully extracting the seat
belt (beyond the length needed for a typical adult
occupant), locks the belt into place until the seat belt is
unbuckled.
The seat belt reel automatically locks to prevent
movement of occupants if
Model X experiences a force
associated with hard acceleration, braking, cornering, or
an impact in a collision.
Seat Belt Reminders
The seat belt reminder on the instrument
panel alerts you if a seat belt for an
occupied driver or passenger seat is unbuckled. If all occupants are buckled up and the reminder stays on, re-buckle seat
belts to ensure they are correctly latched.
Also remove any heavy objects (such as a briefcase) from an unoccupied seat. If the reminder light continues to stay on,
contact Tesla.
You can temporarily disable a seat belt reminder
associated with a rear seating position. This is useful when you are carrying an object in a rear seat that triggers the seat belt reminder alert. To disable the
reminder, touch the associated seat on the seat belt reminder popup message that displays on the touchscreen when a seat belt reminder is active. When a
reminder is disabled, the seat belt reminder icon is
replaced by a seat icon, for the current drive only. Touch the seat again to re-enable the reminder.
WARNING: Seat belts must be worn by passengers
in all seating positions. Do not disable a seat belt
reminder when the seating position is occupied by
a passenger.
To Fasten a Belt
1.
Ensure correct positioning of the seat (see Correct
Driving Position on page 35).
2.
Draw the belt out smoothly, ensuring the belt lays flat
across the pelvis, chest and mid-point of your collar
bone, between the neck and shoulder.
3. Insert the latch plate into the buckle and press
together until you hear a click indicating it is locked
in place.4.
Pull the belt to check that it is securely fastened.
5.
Pull the diagonal part of the belt toward the reel to
remove excess slack.
To Adjust the Shoulder Anchor
Height
Model X is equipped with an adjustable shoulder anchor
for each front seat to ensure that the seat belt is positioned correctly. The seat belt should lay
flat across
the mid-point of your collar bone while in the correct driving position
(see Correct Driving Position on page
35). Adjust the height of the shoulder anchor if the seat
belt is not positioned correctly:
1.
Press and hold the button on the shoulder anchor to release the locking mechanism.
2.
While holding the button, move the shoulder anchor up or down, as necessary, to correctly position the seat belt.
3.
Release the button on the shoulder anchor so that it
locks into position.
4.
Without pressing the button, pull on the seat belt webbing and attempt to move the shoulder anchor
downward to check that it is locked into position.
Seat Belts
40MODEL X Owner

In the second row, install LATCH child safety seats in the
outboard seating positions only. Use only a seat belt
retained seat in the center position.
NOTE: If Model X is equipped with two seats in the
second row, both seats support the use of
LATCH child
safety seats.
NOTE: Second row outboard seats support the use of
upper tether straps (see
Attaching Upper Tether Straps
on page 47).
WARNING: Before driving after installing a child
seat in the second row, ensure that a "seat
unlocked" warning does NOT display on the
touchscreen or instrument panel. This warning
indicates that the seat is unsafe for an occupant
because it was not returned to its safe, locked
position. If the touchscreen or instrument panel
displays the warning message, move the seat or
backrest slightly forward or backward until it locks
firmly into position and the message no longer
displays.
Bench Seats
NOTE: To accommodate large rear-facing LATCH child
safety seats, you may need to move the seat in the full rearward position, and move the corresponding front seat forward to the mid-track position (up to 13 cm forward of the rearmost position), raise the seat upward
(3 cm from its lowest position), and angle the seat back
to 15 degrees (or 10 degrees rearward from its forward- most position).
WARNING: Do not associate the Easy Entry
setting with the driver

Single Strap - Second Row Bench Seats
Single Strap - Third Row Seats
Testing a Child Safety Seat
Before seating a child, always make sure the child safety seat is not loose:
1.
Hold the child safety seat by the belt path and try to slide the safety seat from side to side and front to back.
2.
If the seat moves more than one inch (2.5 cm), it is
too loose. Tighten the belt or reconnect the
LATCH
retained child safety seat.
3.
If you are unable to reduce slack, try a different seat
location or try another child safety seat.
Child Safety Seat Warnings
WARNING: Extreme hazard! Do not seat a child on
the front passenger seat even if you are using a
child safety seat. This seat has an airbag in front of
it. Although this airbag is disabled when Model X
detects a lightweight passenger, do not rely on
technology to protect your child.
WARNING: Child safety seats are designed to be
secured in vehicle seats by lap belts or the lap belt
portion of a lap-shoulder belt. A child could be
endangered in a crash if a child safety seat is not
properly secured in the vehicle.
WARNING: According to collision statistics,
children are safer when properly restrained in a
rear seating position than in the front passenger
seat.
WARNING: Do not use a forward-facing child
safety seat until your child weighs over 20 lbs (9
kg) and can sit independently. Up to the age of
two, a child

Auto High Beam (if equipped)
The high beam headlights can automatically switch to low beam when there is light detected in front of
Model X (for example, from an oncoming vehicle). To
turn this feature on or
off, touch Controls > Lights >
Auto High Beam. Your chosen setting is retained until
you manually change it.
NOTE: When you touch or press the high beam
headlight button on the left side of the
steering yoke (or
steering wheel), the touchscreen displays an abbreviated
lights menu to provide quick access to control headlights, fog lights (if equipped), and the
Auto High
Beam setting. Use the touchscreen to choose options
from this menu.
NOTE: Auto High Beam is automatically enabled when
Autosteer is engaged. To switch to low beam headlights, press the high beam headlight button on the
steering
yoke (or steering wheel). Auto High Beam is re-enabled
every time Autosteer is activated.
The following indicator lights are visible on the instrument panel to show the status of the headlights:
Low beam headlights are on.High beam headlights are on. Illuminates
when high beams are on but the Auto High
Beam setting is turned off or if the Auto
High Beam setting is turned on but is
temporarily unavailable.
High beams are currently turned on, and
Auto High Beam is ready to turn off the
high beams if light is detected in front of
Model X.
High beams are temporarily turned off

because Auto High Beam is operating and
light is detected in front of
Model X. When
light is no longer detected, high beam headlights automatically turn back on.
WARNING: Auto High Beam is a convenience only
and is subject to limitations. It is the driver
