8.Remove the key and store it in a safe
place (preferably inside the vehicle).
Note: The key can be removed only if the
hitch is locked. This indicates a proper
connection. Do not use the hitch if the key
is not removed.
Note: Tesla recommends making a note of
the key code. You need this code if you lose the keys and need to order areplacement.
9. Close the dust cover to prevent dirt and
debris from entering the lock. For newer
version with push clips, reattach the dust
cover, snap it in place and open the push
clips before pushing them in.
Note: To maintain the hitch, regularly grease
its surfaces with non-resinous grease.
Disconnecting the Tow Hitch After towing, remove the hitch:
1. Insert the key and turn to align the top of
the key with the “unlocked” position.
2. While firmly holding the bottom of the
hitch (to prevent it from dropping to the
ground), pull the locking cylinder out
approximately 0.5 cm, and turn it
clockwise until the red marking on the
locking cylinder aligns with the white dot.
At this point, the locking cylinder is locked
in the "open" and the hitch drops out of
the housing.
Warning: Be careful when turning the
locking cylinder. If it does not lock
into the “Open Position”, it
automatically retracts into its original
“closed" position and can pinch your fingers.
3. Reinstall the dust cover on the hitch
housing to prevent dirt from accumulating
inside the housing.
4. Close the dust cover on the hitch

you are actively navigating to a
destination and not following the route.Warning: Traffic-Aware Cruise Control
cannot detect all objects and, especially
in situations when you are driving over 80 km/h, may not brake/decelerate when
a vehicle or object is only partially in the
driving lane or when a vehicle you are
following moves out of your driving path and a stationary or slow-moving 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

the accelerator when driving without Traffic-
Aware Cruise Control (see Regenerative
Braking on page 72).Warning: Traffic-Aware Cruise Control
cancels, or may not be available, in the
following situations:

If Autosteer is unable to detect lane markings,the driving lane is determined based on the
vehicle you are following.
In most cases, Autosteer attempts to center Model X in the driving lane. However, if the
sensors detect the presence of an obstacle (such as a vehicle or guard rail), Autosteer
may steer Model X in a driving path that is
offset from the center of the lane.Warning: Autosteer is not designed to,
and will not, steer Model X around objects
partially or completely in the driving lane.
Always watch the road in front of you and
stay prepared to take appropriate action. It is the driver

always include the use of the HOV lane,
whenever it exists.Warning: Even when Navigate on
Autopilot deactivates at off-ramps,
Autosteer remains active. Always be
prepared to take appropriate actions such
as stopping at red lights and stop signs, and yielding to other road users.Warning: Navigate on Autopilot may not
always attempt to exit at an off-ramp,
even when the exit is determined by the
navigation route. Always remain alert and
be prepared to manually steer onto the
off-ramp, or make a required lane change.
You can cancel Navigate on Autopilot at any
time by touching the Navigate on Autopilot
button on the map

Autopark
Autopark (if equipped) uses data from the
ultrasonic sensors and GPS to simplify parking
on public roads by maneuvering Model X into parallel and perpendicular parking spaces. See To Use Autopark on page 113.
Warning: Autopark

Summon
Summon (if equipped) allows you to
automatically park and retrieve Model X while you are standing outside the vehicle. Summonuses data from the ultrasonic sensors to move
Model X forward and reverse up to 12 meters
in, or out of, a parking space.
Warning: Summon is designed and
intended for use only on parking lots and
driveways on private property where the
surrounding area is familiar and
predictable.Warning: Summon is a BETA feature. You
must continually monitor the vehicle and
its surroundings and stay prepared to
take immediate action at any time. It is
