brake TESLA MODEL X 2021 Owner´s Manual

Towing Capacity
The total trailer weight (including all cargo and additional equipment), and the trailer tongue
weight, must never exceed the following:TiresMaximum Towing Capacity*Maximum Tongue Weight**19"***, 20" or 22"2250 kg90 kg
*Tesla recommends a separate braking system on trailers with a loaded weight of over 450 kg. Thebraking system must be appropriate for the weight of the trailer. Follow the instructions providedby the trailer brake manufacturer to ensure that trailer brakes are properly installed, adjusted, and
maintained.
**The tongue weight is the downward force that the weight of the trailer exerts on the hitch. It must not be less than 4% of the trailer load. Carrying a significant amount of equipment,
passengers, or cargo in the tow vehicle can reduce the tongue weight it can handle, which also
reduces the maximum towing capacity. Maximum towing capacity is calculated assuming the
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) is not exceeded. The GVWR is printed on the Statutory
Plate (see Statutory Plate on page 180).

Towing Guidelines
Model X is designed primarily as a passenger-
carrying vehicle. Towing a trailer puts additional load on the motor, drive train,brakes, tires, and suspension and significantly
decreases range. If you decide to tow a trailer,
proceed with caution and follow these general
guidelines:

brake/decelerate for stationary vehicles
or objects, especially in situations when
you are driving over 80 km/h and in situations where a vehicle you are
following moves out of your driving path and a stationary vehicle or object is in
front of you. Always pay attention to the
road ahead and stay prepared to take
immediate corrective action. Depending
on Traffic-Aware Cruise Control to avoid a
collision can result in serious injury or death. In addition, Traffic-Aware Cruise
Control may react to vehicles or objects
that either do not exist or are not in the
lane of travel, causing Model X to slow
down unnecessarily or inappropriately.Warning: Traffic-Aware Cruise Control
may be unable to provide adequate
speed control because of limited braking capability and hills. It can also misjudgethe distance from a vehicle ahead. Driving
downhill can increase driving speed, causing Model X to exceed your set
speed (and potentially the road

weather conditions. Use appropriate
caution when driving.Warning: Forward Collision Warning is
designed only to provide visual and
audible alerts. It does not attempt to
apply the brakes or decelerate Model X.
When seeing and/or hearing a warning, it

1.Close
Touch the circled X in the top left corner of a window to close it (or you can touch anywhere
outside the window).
2. Doors
Touch to open or close doors.
3. Seats
If Model X is equipped with monopost second row seats, touch to move the second row seats
forward or backward (see Adjusting Second Row Monopost Seats on page 21).
4. Suspension
If Model X is equipped with Smart Air Suspension, touch to manually raise or lower Model X, or to remove a previously saved auto-raising location (see Smart Air Suspension on page 133).
Model X must be powered on and you must press the brake pedal before you can change
suspension settings. Smart Air Suspension causes Model X to self-level, even when powered off. Therefore, when towing or lifting, you must disable self-leveling (see Instructions for
Transporters on page 195 and Jacking and Lifting on page 176).
