You can also use the touchscreen to move the second row seats to the easy entry position. Touch Controls > Doors and the Easy Entry button. 1. 2. Move seat forward/backward. Adjust backrest.
Front and Rear Seats Note: When an outside seat has tilted forward for easy entry, its back rest resets to the neutral position and may need to be readjusted. Cargo Mode Note: If an obstacle is detected while a seat is moving forward for easy entry, forward movement stops and the seat moves back. Cargo Mode makes it easy for you to maximize cargo space by automatically moving all second row seats fully forward and folding the third row seats flat.
Seat Belts 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.
Seat Belts Seat Belt Pre-tensioners Testing Seat Belts The front seat belts are equipped with pre‑tensioners that work in conjunction with the airbags in a severe frontal collision. The pre‑tensioners automatically retract both the seat belt anchor and the seat belt webbing, reducing slack in both the lap and diagonal portions of the belts, resulting in reduced forward movement of the occupant. To confirm that seat belts are operating correctly, perform these three simple checks on each seat belt. 1.
Seat Belts Warning: Avoid contaminating a seat belt’s components with any chemicals, liquids, grit, dirt or cleaning products. If a seat belt fails to retract or latch into the buckle, it must be replaced immediately. Contact Tesla. Warning: Do not make modifications or additions that can prevent a seat belt mechanism from taking up slack, or that can prevent a seat belt from being adjusted to remove slack. A slack belt greatly reduces occupant protection.
Child Safety Seats Guidelines for Seating Children You must restrain infants and small children using a child safety seat appropriate for the child’s age, weight, and size. Never seat a child in a child safety seat or a booster seat on the front passenger seat when the airbag is activated. To disable the front passenger seat airbag, see Disabling the Passenger Front Airbags on page 34. Carefully follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the child safety seat.
Child Safety Seats Choosing a Child Safety Seat Refer to the tables below for guidelines on the type of seat belt installed and ISOFIX installed child restraint you should use based on the weight of the child.

Child Safety Seats Seating Larger Children If a child is too large to fit into a child safety seat, but too small to safely fit into the standard seat belts, use a booster seat appropriate for the child’s age and size. Carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions to secure the booster seat using the seat belts. Do not use the ISOFIX system to secure booster seats, even in situations where the booster seat is equipped with the ISOFIX system.
Child Safety Seats 3. If the seat belt retained child safety seat has an upper tether, attach it to the back of the seat (see Attaching Upper Tether Straps on page 29). Installing ISOFIX Child Seats Lower ISOFIX anchors are provided in the second row outboard seats and in both rear row seats. The anchors are located between the seat's back rest and rear cushion. The exact location of each anchor is identified by a child safety seat identification button, illustrated below.
Child Safety Seats Attaching Upper Tether Straps If an upper tether strap is provided, attach its hook to the anchor point located on the back of the second and third row seats. In the outside seating positions, always position single-strap tethers to run to the side of the head restraints. In doing so, run it on the same side of the head restraint as the seat belt retraction mechanism. In the center seating seating position, position a singlestrap tether over the top of the head restraint.
Child Safety Seats Dual Straps - Second Row Seats: Dual Straps - Third Row Seats: Testing a Child Safety Seat Single Strap - Third Row Seats Before seating a child, always make sure the child safety seat is not loose: 1. 2. 3. Hold the child safety seat by the belt path and try to slide the safety seat from side to side and front to back. If the seat moves more than 2.5 cm, it is too loose. Tighten the belt or reconnect the ISOFIX retained child safety seat.
Child Safety Seats restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front seating positions. Warning: Do not use a forward facing child safety seat until your child weighs over 9 kg and can sit independently. Up to the age of two, a child's spine and neck are not sufficiently developed to avoid injury in a frontal impact. Warning: Do not allow a baby or infant to be held on a lap. All children should be restrained in an appropriate child safety seat at all times.
Airbags Location of Airbags Airbags are located in the approximate areas shown here. Airbag warning information is printed on the sun visors. Model X is equipped with an air bag and lap/shoulder belt at both front outboard seating positions. The air bag is a supplemental restraint at those seating positions.
Airbags How the Airbags Work Types of Airbags Inflation of airbags depends on the rate at which the vehicle’s cabin changes speed in a collision. The rate of deceleration determines whether airbags inflate. Model X has the following types of airbags: • Airbags inflate instantly with considerable force accompanied by a loud noise. The inflated bag, together with the seat belts, limits movement of occupants to reduce the risk of injury.
Airbags Disabling the Passenger Front Airbags When a child is seated in the front passenger seat (even when the child is seated in a child safety seat or booster seat), you must disable the passenger front airbags to prevent them from injuring the child if a collision occurs. Note: Rear seats are the preferred location for seating children in child safety seats. If the status shows the airbags as on, even if you have turned it off (or vice versa), contact Tesla immediately.
Airbags Airbag Warning Indicator The airbag indicator on the instrument panel remains lit if the airbag system is malfunctioning. The only time this indicator should light up is briefly when Model X first powers up, in which case it turns off within a few seconds. If it remains lit, contact Tesla immediately and do not drive.
Driver Profiles Creating a Driver Profile • You only need to adjust Model X once. When you first adjust the driver’s seat, steering wheel, or driver’s side mirror, the touchscreen prompts you to create a driver profile to save these adjustments.

You can choose from four levels: To make wiper blades easy to access so you can remove any ice and snow, shift Model X into Park, then use the touchscreen to move them to the service position. Touch Controls > Settings > Service & Reset > Service Mode > ON. When parking in cold outdoor climates, it is helpful to leave Model X with the wipers in the service position.
Brakes Braking Systems Emergency Braking Model X has an anti-lock braking system (ABS) that prevents the wheels from locking when you apply maximum brake pressure. This improves steering control during heavy braking in most road conditions. In an emergency, fully press the brake pedal and maintain firm pressure, even on low traction surfaces. The ABS varies the braking pressure to each wheel according to the amount of traction available.
Brakes Regenerative Braking To Set the Regenerative Braking Level Whenever Model X is moving and your foot is off the accelerator, regenerative braking slows down Model X and feeds any surplus energy back to the Battery. You can use the touchscreen to change the level of regenerative braking: By anticipating your stops and simply removing pressure from the accelerator to slow down, you can take advantage of regenerative braking to increase driving range.
Traction Control How It Works The traction control system constantly monitors the speed of the front and rear wheels. If Model X experiences a loss of traction, the system minimizes wheel spin by controlling brake pressure and motor power. By default, the traction control system is always active. Under normal conditions, it should remain active to ensure maximum safety. You can enable slip start to allow the wheels to spin at a limited speed.
Park Assist How Park Assist Works Model X has several sensors designed to detect the presence of objects nearby. When moving slowly in Drive or Reverse, the sensors alert you if an object is detected in close proximity to the front and rear of your Model X. potentially cause serious injury. Always inspect the area with your own eyes. When reversing, perform shoulder checks and use all mirrors.
Park Assist and do not clean a sensor with a sharp or abrasive object that can scratch or damage its surface. Caution: Do not install accessories or stickers on or near the parking sensors. Other Parking Aids In addition to Park Assist, when shifted into Reverse gear, the backup camera displays a view of the area behind Model X (see Rear View Camera on page 65). Controlling Audible Feedback You can use Park Assist with or without audible feedback.
Vehicle Hold When Model X is stopped, Vehicle Hold continues to apply the brakes even after you remove your foot from the brake pedal. When driving up a hill or on a flat surface, brake as you normally would and when Model X is fully stopped, the brakes remain engaged when you release the pedal. When driving downhill, engage Vehicle Hold by applying the brakes firmly after coming to a complete stop.
Launch Mode Performance Dual Motor Vehicles Only Launch Mode, available on performance dual motor vehicles only, provides optimum acceleration on surfaces with good traction. To use Launch Mode, you must set the acceleration level to Insane (or Ludicrous) and then enable Max Battery Power (see Controls on page 97). Warning: Use Launch Mode only in appropriate locations where there is no cross traffic or pedestrians present. Launch Mode is designed for use on closed circuit driving courses.
Active Hood How Active Hood Works Some Model X vehicles (depending on date of manufacture) feature a pedestrian protection system that reduces head injuries to pedestrians and cyclists in a frontal collision. If the sensors in the front bumper detect an impact with a pedestrian when Model X is moving between 19 and 53 km/h, the rear portion of the hood automatically raises approximately 80 mm.
Trip Information Displaying Trip Information Trip information displays on the touchscreen when you touch Controls > Trips. There are two trip meters available, A and B. To reset a particular trip meter, touch its associated RESET. Note: You can also display range and trip information on the instrument panel (see Using Left Steering Wheel Buttons on page 37).
Getting Maximum Range Driving Tips to Maximize Range • You can maximize your driving range using the same driving habits that you use to conserve fuel in a gasoline-powered vehicle. In addition to driving habits, energy consumption depends on environmental conditions (such as cold weather and hilly roads). To get the maximum mileage from a charge: • • • • • • Slow down your driving and avoid frequent and rapid acceleration.
Getting Maximum Range Touch to display a search list of charging locations that are estimated to be within your driving range. Then touch a location in the search list to navigate to it. Based on the amount of energy remaining in your Model X, there are no known charging locations within your driving range.
Rear View Camera Camera Location Model X is equipped with a rear view camera located above the rear license plate. guidance purposes only. It is not intended to replace your own direct visual checks and is not a substitute for careful driving. Cleaning the Camera To ensure a clear picture, keep the camera lens clean, and free of obstructions. Remove any buildup of dirt by occasionally wiping the camera lens with a soft damp cloth. Caution: Do not use chemical-based or abrasive cleaners.
Active Spoiler The Model X has a rear spoiler designed to improve aerodynamics. The position of the spoiler can vary depending on the status and speed of Model X: • • • When Model X is in Reverse or when driving speed is below 16 km/h, the spoiler provides maximum visibility behind Model X. When driving speed exceeds 72 km/h, the spoiler lowers to the position that provides the most effective aerodynamics. When Model X is powered off and locked, the spoiler retracts.
Towing a Trailer Towing Capacity A Model X equipped with the optional towing package is capable of towing a trailer.
Towing a Trailer Before Towing a Trailer Warning: The trailer tongue weight must be approximately 10% of the total trailer weight without exceeding the maximum tongue weights listed above. Loads that are balanced over the wheels or heavier in the rear can cause trailer sway, resulting in loss of vehicle control. Before towing a trailer, you MUST: • • • • • Inflate tires to the cold tire inflation pressure specified above.
Towing a Trailer touchscreen (Controls > Driving > E-Brake & Power Off > Parking Brake). Warning: Do not rely on Model X to detect the trailer and automatically engage Trailer Mode. Always check that Trailer Mode is engaged before towing a trailer. Warning: Under no circumstances should you exit Trailer Mode when towing a trailer. Doing so can cause serious injury and/or death. Warning: Do not use the air suspension setting to appropriately match the height of the hitch with the height of the trailer.
Towing a Trailer Impact on Range Towing increases Model X's weight and drag. As a result, driving range decreases significantly and although Trip Planner attempts to adjust estimates based on Trailer Mode, actual energy consumption may vary. Keep this in mind when planning your trips and charging destinations.
Using a Bicycle Carrier Supported Bicycle Carriers To support the installation of a carrier (such as a bicycle rack) on the rear of Model X, the optional towing package is required. Do not attempt to install a carrier on a Model X that is not equipped with the towing package. Doing so can cause damage. Model X is designed to support a bicycle carrier of up to 120 lbs (55 kg). When carry bicycles on Model X, always check to ensure that the maximum weight is not exceeded.
