Testing Seat Belts
To
confirm that seat belts are operating
correctly, perform these three simple checks on each seat belt.
1. With the seat belt fastened, give the webbing nearest the buckle a quick pull.
The buckle should remain securely locked.
2. With the belt unfastened, unreel the webbing to its limit. Check that unreeling
is free from snags, and visually check the
webbing for wear. Allow the webbing to retract, checking that retraction is smooth
and complete.
3. With the webbing half unreeled, hold the tongue plate and pull forward quickly. The
mechanism should lock automatically and
prevent further unreeling.
If a seat belt fails any of these tests, contact
Tesla immediately.
Seat Belt Warnings
Warning: Seat belts should be worn by all
occupants at all times, even if driving for
a very short distance. Failure to do so
increases the risk of injury or death if an accident occurs.Warning: Secure small children in a
suitable child safety seat. Always follow
the child safety seat manufacturer

Controlling LightsTouch Controls on the bottom corner of the touchscreen to control most of the lights.In addition to the lights that you can control from the touchscreen, Model X has convenience
lights that turn on and
off automatically based on what you are doing. For example, you will
notice interior lights, marker lights, tail lights, door handle lights, and puddle lights that turn on
when you unlock Model X, when you open a door, and when you shift into Park. They turn
offautomatically after a minute or two or when you shift into a driving gear or lock Model X.

1. Touch to control front driver side map light.
2. If you touch DOME, a popup appears that allow you to control cabin lights. If cabin lights are set to ON, all interior cabin lights, including the light in the rear trunk, turn on when youunlock Model X, open a door upon exiting, or shift into P (Park). They turn
off after 60
seconds, when you lock Model X, or when you shift into a driving gear. If set to AUTO, cabin lights turn on only when little or no light is detected.
You can also turn on an individual dome light by touching its lens. If you manually turn a domelight on, it turns
off when Model X powers off. If Model X was already powered off when you
manually turned the light on, it turns off after 60 minutes.
3. If you turn on AMBIENT lights, the lights on the door arm rests turn on whenever the headlights are on.
4. Touch to control front passenger side map light.
5. Touch to turn the fog lights on or
off. Fog lights operate only when low beam headlights are
on. When headlights are turned off, fog lights also turn off.
The Rear Fog indicator displays on the instrument panel whenever rear fog
lights are on.The Front Fog indicator displays on the instrument panel whenever the
optional front fog lights are on.
6. Exterior lights (headlights, tail lights, side marker lights, parking lights, and license plate lights) are set to AUTO each time you start Model X.
AUTOExterior lights automatically turn on when driving in low lighting conditions.
If you change to a different setting, lights always revert to this AUTO setting
on your next drive.
Touch one of these options to temporarily change the exterior light setting:
OFFExterior lights turn off until you manually turn them back on or until the next
time you drive Model X. If daytime running lights are required in your region,
the exterior lights used for this purpose do not turn
off.Only the side marker lights, parking lights, tail lights and license plate lights
turn on.Exterior lights turn on.
Note: Model X has a series of lights along the lower rim of the headlights, also referred to as
"signature" lights. These lights automatically turn on whenever Model X is powered on and a driving gear is engaged. In the U.S. only, these lights turn
off to conserve energy when you
turn the Range mode setting on (see Controls on page 106 or Driving Tips to Maximize Range
on page 64).
Warning: Always ensure that your headlamps are switched to AUTO or ON, as
appropriate, during all low visibility conditions. Failure to do so may result in a collision.

Braking Systems
Model X has an anti-lock braking system
(ABS) that prevents the wheels from locking when you apply maximum brake pressure. This
improves steering control during heavy
braking in most road conditions.
During emergency braking conditions, the
ABS constantly monitors the speed of each
wheel and varies the brake pressure according to the grip available.
The alteration of brake pressure can be felt as
a pulsing sensation through the brake pedal.
This demonstrates that the ABS is operating
and is not a cause for concern. Keep
firm and
steady pressure on the brake pedal while
experiencing the pulsing.
The ABS indicator flashes briefly on
the instrument panel when you firststart Model X. If this indicator lights
up at any other time, an ABS fault
has occurred and the ABS is not
operating. Contact Tesla. The braking system remains fully operational and
is not
affected by an ABS failure.
However, braking distances may increase.
If the instrument panel displays this
indicator at any time other than
displaying
briefly when you first start
Model X, a brake system fault is
detected or the brake
fluid level is
low. Contact Tesla immediately.
Emergency Braking
In an emergency, fully press the brake pedal
and maintain
firm pressure, even on low
traction surfaces. The ABS varies the braking
pressure to each wheel according to the
amount of traction available. This prevents
wheels from locking and ensures that you stop
as safely as possible.
Warning: Do not pump the brake pedal.
Doing so interrupts operation of the ABS
and can increase braking distance.Warning: Always maintain a safe distance
from the vehicle in front of you and be
aware of hazardous driving conditions.
While the ABS can improve stopping
distance, it cannot overcome the laws of physics. It also does not prevent the
danger of hydroplaning (where a layer of
water prevents direct contact between the tires and the road).
If Model X is equipped with Autopilot
hardware, Automatic Emergency Braking
automatically applies full braking in situations
where a collision is considered imminent (see
Automatic Emergency Braking on page 97).
Brake Wear
Model X brake pads are equipped with wear
indicators. A wear indicator is a thin metal
strip attached to the brake pad that squeals as
it rubs against the rotor when the pad wears
down. This squealing sound indicates that the
brake pads have reached the end of their service life and require replacement. To stop
the squealing, contact Tesla Service.
Warning: Neglecting to replace worn
brake pads results in damage to the
braking system and can create a braking
hazard.

About the Security System
If Model X does not detect a key nearby and a
locked door or trunk is opened, an alarm sounds and headlights and turn signals
flash.To deactivate the alarm, press any button on the key.
To manually enable or disable the alarm system, touch Controls > Settings > Safety &
Security > Alarm. When set to on, Model X activates its alarm one minute after the doors
lock and a recognized key is no longer
detected nearby.

Loading New Software
Model X updates its software wirelessly,
providing new features throughout your term of ownership. Tesla recommends that you
install software update as soon as they are
available. The
first time you enter Model X
after an update is made available, a scheduling
window displays on the touchscreen. The
scheduling window displays again at the end
of your
first driving session.
Note: Some software updates can take from
two to three hours to complete. Model X must be in P (Park) when the new software is being
installed. To ensure the fastest and most
reliable delivery of software updates, leave the
Wi-Fi turned on and connected whenever
possible (see Connecting to Wi-Fi on page
137).
When a software update is available, a yellow
clock icon appears on the touchscreen
