Brakes
Braking Systems
Warning: Properly functioning braking
systems are critical to ensure safety. If you experience a problem with the brake
pedal, brake caliper, or any component of
a Model X braking system, contact Tesla
immediately.
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.

Warning: You must use the Model X trailer
hitch when towing a trailer. Never attempt
to attach a different type of trailer hitch.
To install the trailer hitch:
1. Remove the dust cover from the hitch
housing.
2. Insert the key into the locking cylinder on
the hitch, and turn the cylinder so the top of the key is aligned with the “unlocked”
position.
3. Pull the locking cylinder out of the
adapter approximately 0.5 cm, and turn
clockwise until the red marking on the
cylinder aligns with the white dot.
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.4. Firmly grasp the hitch from the bottom
and align the triangular-shaped guides at
the sides of the hitch with the
corresponding cutouts in the hitch
housing.
Note: Do not grasp the locking cylinder
because it needs to rotate freely.
5. Push the hitch into the hitch housing until
the locking cylinder rotates approximately
120

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
