Key Not Inside
If Model X does not detect a key when you

If you receive this message, place the key in
the center console cup holder where Model X can best detect it.
If Model X still does not detect the key, try
holding it against the center console,
immediately below the 12V power socket (see
12V Power Socket on page 137). If the key is
still not detected, remove the key

The 12V power sockets are suitable for
accessories requiring up to 11A continuous
draw (15A peak) or a maximum of 150
continuous watts (180 watts peak).
Note: In situations where Model X is unable to
detect the key (low battery, interference, etc.),
place it immediately below the 12V power
socket in the center console where Model X can best detect it.
