Opening and Closing Front Doors
from Outside Model X
Model X doors are electrically powered. When
you approach Model X carrying the key, you
can specify whether just the driver's door
unlocks or all doors unlock. On the
touchscreen, touch Controls > Settings >
Vehicle > Door Unlock Mode and choose
Driver or All. You can also set the driver's door
to open automatically upon your approach.
The door partially opens (between 20° and
45° depending on obstacles detected by
sensors). Touch Controls > Settings > Vehicle >
Auto Front Door > On.
Note: Depending on date of manufacture and
options chosen at time of purchase, your
Model X may not be equipped with Auto Front
Door.
Whenever a door is open, the Door
Open indicator displays on the
instrument panel. The image of the
Model X on the touchscreen Controls
window also shows which door or
trunk is open.
You can close doors manually or by using the
touchscreen.
You can also close an exterior front door by
touching its handle when the door is already
open.
Note: Powered doors stop moving if an
obstacle is detected.
Note: The powered front doors switch to
manual operation whenever you choose to
open or close a door manually.
Opening and Closing Falcon Wing
Doors
Model X has electrically-powered falcon wing
doors that easily open and close by pressing a
button, using the key, or touching the controls
on the touchscreen (Controls > Doors). The
falcon wing doors are equipped with several
sensors that detect the presence of people
and objects and, if an object is detected, the
door stops moving. Based on detected
objects, the doors may adjust their outward
and upward movement in an attempt to avoid
contacting the object. For example, if an
object is detected above Model X, the door's
movement may extend further outward but
lower, whereas if an object is detected beside
the door, the door may extend outward much
less.
Warning: It is important to keep your
hands clear of the falcon wing door
frames at all times. Proactively check the
door frame area prior to closing, and
monitor the movement of the door during
closing to ensure that it does not come
into contact with a person or object.
Failure to do so can result in damage or
serious injury.
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's
movement and being prepared to take
corrective action at any time. To stop a
door from moving, single-click the falcon
wing door button on the key, press a
switch on the door or door pillar, or touch
the button on the touchscreen.
To open a falcon wing door from outside
Model X, press the door handle or press the
falcon wing door button on the key (see Using
the Key on page 4).
To open a falcon wing door from inside Model
X, pull the switch located on the door pillar, or
touch the door controls on the touchscreen
(Controls > Doors):
