Note: When an outside seat has tilted forward
for easy entry, its back rest resets to the
neutral position and may need to be re-
adjusted.
Note: If an obstacle is detected while a seat is
moving forward for easy entry, forward
movement stops and the seat moves back.
Folding Third Row Seats
Before folding, remove items from the seats
and the rear foot well. To allow the third row
seat backs to fold completely
flat, you may
need to move the second row seats forward.
To fold a third row seat, press the button
located in the top outside corner of the seat.
The button has two detents.
1. Fold head restraint forward.
2. Fold seat forward.
You can also use the touchscreen to fold third
row seats. Touch Controls > Doors > Rear
Seats. A convenient way to fold rear seats is to engage Cargo Mode (described next).
Note: If necessary, the second row seat may
move forward slightly to accommodate the forward position of the third row seat.
Note: To raise the seats, pull the seat back
upward until it latches into place. To
confirmthe seat back is locked in the upright position, try pulling it forward.
Warning: Always ensure the seat backs
are locked in their upright position.
Failure to do so increases the risk of injury.Cargo Mode
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. Touch
Controls > Doors > Rear Seats > Cargo Mode
on the touchscreen.
Note: Cargo mode is prohibited if a second or
third row seat is occupied.
Head Restraints Front seats include adjustable non-removable
head restraints. Use the touchscreen to adjust
these head restraints to either a low or high
position.
The second and third row seats have
integrated non-removable head restraints that
can not be adjusted. However, the head
restraints in the third row seats can be folded
down for storage (see Folding Third Row
Seats on page 20).
Seat Heaters
The front seats are equipped with heating
pads that operate at three levels from 3
(highest) to 1 (lowest). To operate the seat
heaters, see Climate Controls on page 105.
If Model X is equipped with the optional cold
weather package, you can also control seat
heaters in the second row and rear seats, as
well as heated wipers by touching Controls >
Cold Weather (see Controls on page 97).
Seat Covers Do not use seat covers on Model X. Doing so
could restrict deployment of the side air bags
if an accident occurs. It can also reduce the
accuracy of the occupant detection system.

5. Cold WeatherIf Model X is equipped with the optional cold weather package, you can control all seatheaters as well as the heated wipers and steering wheel. Heaters that are turned on are displayed in red. To turn
off all seat heaters, touch All Off. Note that you can also control the
front driver and passenger seats using the main climate control panel located on the bottom
of the touchscreen (see Climate Controls on page 105).

on page 62).
7. Displays
Manually control the touchscreen

Overview of Climate Controls
The climate controls are always available at the bottom of the touchscreen. By default, climate control is set to Auto On, which maintains optimum comfort in all but the most severe weather conditions. When you adjust the temperature, the system automatically adjusts the heating, air
conditioning, air distribution, air circulation, and fan speed to maintain your selected temperature. To override these settings, touch Auto On (see Customizing Climate Control on page 106).
The fan, heating, and air conditioning systems are powered by the Battery. Therefore, prolonged use decreases driving range.
Note: The following illustration is provided for demonstration purposes only. Depending on vehicle
options, software version, market region, and settings, the information displayed may be slightly
different.
1. The front seats are equipped with heating pads that operate at three levels from 3 (highest) to 1 (lowest).
When operating, the indicator turns red and displays the setting number.
Note: If Model X is equipped with the optional subzero weather package, you can also control seat heaters in the rear seats as well as heated wipers by touching Controls > Cold Weather
(see Controls on page 97).
2. Touch the up or down arrow to set the cabin temperature (from LO, 17

Checking and Replacing WipersTo make wiper blades easy to access, turn
offthe wipers, shift Model X into Park, then use
the touchscreen to move them to the service
position. Touch Controls > Settings > Service &
Reset > Service Mode > ON.
Note: Wipers automatically return to their
normal position when you shift Model X out of Park.
Periodically check and clean the edge of the wiper blade and check the rubber for cracks,
splits and roughness. If damaged, contact
Tesla Service to have the blades replaced.
Contaminants on the windshield, or on the
wiper blades, can reduce the
effectiveness of
the wiper blades. Contaminants include ice,
wax spray from car washes, washer
fluid with
bug and/or water repellent, bird droppings,
tree sap, and other organic substances.
