Warning: Under no circumstances shouldyou 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.
While Towing a Trailer
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
significantlydecreases range. If you decide to tow a trailer,
proceed with caution and follow these general
guidelines:

1. CloseTouch 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
Touch to move the second row seats forward or back.
4. Cold Weather
If 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 115).
5. 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
120). 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 183 and Jacking and Lifting on page 166).
6. Driving

Note: If Model X is equipped with Smart AirSuspension, you may hear the sound of the
compressor when Model X starts, as the system

Note: Manually lowering the suspension toStandard or Low while at a saved location alsoremoves the auto-raising location.
Automatic Lowering
When Model X is moving above typical
driveway or parking lot speeds, Smart Air
Suspension automatically lowers ride height to improve aerodynamics and handling. For most
average speed driving, the suspension is
automatically set to Standard. As described
above, when you make manual height adjustments, the suspension automatically
lowers at increased driving speeds.
When carrying loads, Smart Air Suspension
also maintains a level height between the front
and rear.
You can adjust the speed at which the Air
Suspension automatically transitions to the LOW ride height by touching Controls >Suspension > Automatic Lowering on the
touchscreen. This setting is saved to your
Driver
Profile.
Note: You can temporarily override the ride
height by pressing the brake pedal, touching
an air suspension control in Controls >
Suspension, and then manually choosing a
ride height. Your suspension

Jacking Procedure
Follow the steps below to lift Model X. Ensure
that any non-Tesla repair facility is aware of
these lifting points.
1. Position Model X centrally between the lift posts.
2. If your Model X is equipped with Smart Air Suspension, it automatically self-levels,
even when power is
off. Use the
touchscreen to set the suspension as

Use a Flatbed OnlyUse a
flatbed trailer only, unless otherwisespecified by Tesla. Do not transport Model X
with the tires directly on the ground.
Caution: Damage caused by transporting is not covered by the warranty.Caution: To transport Model X, follow the
instructions exactly as described next.
Disable Self-Leveling (air
suspension vehicles only)
If Model X is equipped with Smart Air
Suspension, it automatically self-levels, even
when power is
off. To prevent damage, you
must activate Jack mode to disable self-
leveling:
1. Touch Controls > Suspension on the touchscreen.
2. Press the brake pedal, then touch Very High to maximize height.
3. Touch Jack.
When Jack mode is active,
Model X displays this indicator
light on the instrument panel,
along with a message telling you
that active suspension is
disabled.
Note: Jack mode cancels when Model X is
driven over 7 km/h.
Warning: Failure to activate Jack mode on
a Model X equipped with Smart Air
Suspension can result in the vehicle
becoming loose during transport, which
may cause
significant damage.
Activate Tow Mode
Model X may automatically shift into Park
when it detects the driver leaving the vehicle,
even if it has previously been shifted into Neutral. To keep Model X in Neutral (which
disengages the parking brake), you must use
the touchscreen to activate Tow mode:
1. Shift into Park.
2. Press the brake pedal, then on the touchscreen, touch Controls > Settings >
Service & Reset > Tow Mode.When Tow mode is active, Model X
displays this indicator light on the
instrument panel, along with a
message telling you that Model X is
free-rolling.
Note: Tow mode cancels when Model X is
shifted into Park.
Caution: If the electrical system is not
working, and you therefore cannot release
the electric parking brake, attempt to
quick start the 12V battery. For
instructions, call Tesla. If a situation
occurs where you cannot disengage the
parking brake, use tire skids or transport Model X for the shortest possible distance
using wheeled dollies. Before doing so,
always check the dolly manufacturer
