Model X Owner`s Manual

Note: If Model X is locked, pulling the switch
(illustrated above) the
first time unlocks the
associated door. Pulling it a second time
opens it.
To close a falcon wing door, press the button
located on the inside of the door. You can also
use the key (see Using the Key on page 4,
push the switch on the door pillar (illustrated
above), or touch the door controls on the
touchscreen (Controls > Doors):
Note: To prevent children from opening falcon
wing doors using the interior switch, turn on
child-protection locks using the touchscreen
(Controls > Settings > Vehicle > Child
Protection Lock). See Child-protection Lock
on page 9.
Note: If a falcon wing door detects an obstacle
while closing, it reverses a few inches before it
stops moving.
Warning: Whenever a front door is
partially open (approximately 20°) as you
are opening or closing the associated
falcon wing door, you MUST keep your
hands (or any object) away from the
opening edge of the front door. When a
falcon wing door passes by a partially
opened front door, the distance between
the two doors is very narrow. Objects,
such as hands or
fingers, placed in this
area, are not detected by sensors and can
therefore become pinched between the
doors. To avoid bodily injury, it is a good
practice to keep your hands away from
the front door whenever you are opening
or closing a falcon wing door.
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.
Caution: Remove accumulation of snow
or ice before opening a falcon wing door.
Snow can get inside Model X and ice can
prevent the door from opening.
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.
Note: Falcon wing doors open only when
Model X is stationary.
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 on the Doors tab. In these
cases, provided it is appropriate to continue
opening or closing the falcon wing door, you
can override obstacle detection by doing any
of the following:
• Pull (or push) and hold the switch located
on the door pillar.
• Touch and hold the appropriate button on
the touchscreen.
