Opening and Closing
Doors
Keyless Locking and Unlocking Locking and unlocking Model X is convenient.
Although you must be carrying a valid key,
there is no need to use it. Model X has sensors
around the driver

Park Assist
How Park Assist Works
Model X has several sensors designed to
detect the presence of objects. When driving
slowly in Drive or Reverse (for example, when
parking), the sensors alert you if an object is
detected in close proximity of your Model X.
Objects are only detected in the direction of
the gear you selected; front objects in Drive,
rear objects in Reverse.
Warning: You may not be alerted if
Model X rolls freely in the opposite
direction of the gear you selected (for
example, you will not receive an alert if
Model X rolls backwards down a hill while
in Drive).
The sensors are activated when driving slower
than 8 km/h.
Note: Rear sensors are disabled when a
bicycle is detected or Model X is in trailer
mode.
Warning: Never depend on Park Assist to
inform you if an area you are approachingis free of objects and/or people. Several
external factors can reduce the
performance of Park Assist, causing
either no readings or false readings (see
Limitations and False Warnings on page
69). Therefore, depending on Park Assist
to determine if Model X is approaching an
obstruction can result in damage to the vehicle and/or objects, and can
potentially cause serious injury. Always
inspect the area with your own eyes.
When reversing, perform shoulder checks and use all mirrors. Park assist does not
detect children, pedestrians, bicyclists,
animals, or objects that are moving, protruding, located too far above or
below the sensors, or too close or too far
from the sensors. Park Assist is for
guidance purposes only and is not intended to replace your own direct visual
checks. It is not a substitute for careful
driving.
Visual and Audio Feedback
When you shift to Reverse, the Park Assist
view displays on the left side of the instrument
panel, showing objects that are in close
proximity to the front and rear of Model X.
This view closes when you shift into Drive
unless an object is detected close to the front
of Model X, in which case the Park Assist view
closes automatically when your driving speed
exceeds 8 km/h. When reversing, visual
feedback also displays on the touchscreen, immediately below the camera view (see Rear
View Camera on page 76). You can manually
close the park assist view on the touchscreen by touching the X in the upper left corner.
When driving with the Camera app displayed on the touchscreen, you can switch to the
Park Assist view when driving at speeds below
8 km/h. Touch the button located in the upper
left corner of the Camera app window. This is
useful if you need assistance with parallel parking.
If chimes are turned on (see Controlling
Audible Feedback on page 69), an audible
beep sounds as you approach an object. You
can temporarily mute the chime by pressing
the scroll wheel on the left side of the steering
wheel or by touching the mute button located
on the bottom left corner of the Park Assist
view.
Note: If a sensor is unable to provide
feedback, the instrument panel displays an
alert message.

Caution: Keep sensors clean from dirt,
debris, snow, and ice. Avoid using a high
pressure power washer on the sensors
and do not clean a sensor with a sharp or abrasive object that can scratch or
damage its surface.Caution: Do not install accessories or
stickers on or near the parking sensors.
Controlling Audible Feedback
You can use Park Assist with or without
audible feedback. To turn chimes on or off,
touch Controls > Settings > Safety &
Security > Park Assist Chimes .
To mute the chimes temporarily, press the
scroll wheel on the left side of the steering wheel or touch the mute button in the bottom
left corner of the Park Assist view. The chimes
are muted until you shift into a different gear
or drive over 8 km/h.
Limitations and False Warnings
The parking sensors may not function
correctly in these situations:

Rear View Camera
Camera Location
Model X is equipped with a rear view camera
located above the rear license plate.
Whenever you shift into Reverse, the
touchscreen displays the view from the
camera. Lines show your driving path based
on the position of the steering wheel. These
lines adjust appropriately as you move the
steering wheel.
Note: Visual feedback from the parking
sensors displays on the instrument panel (see
Park Assist on page 68).
Warning: Never depend on the rear view
camera to inform you if the area behind
you is free of objects and/or people when
reversing. The camera may not detect
objects or barriers that can potentially
cause damage or injury. In addition, several external factors can reduce the
performance of the camera, including a
dirty or obstructed lens. Therefore,
depending on the rear view camera to
determine if Model X is approaching an
obstruction can result in damage to the vehicle and/or objects, and can
potentially cause serious injury. Always
inspect the area with your own eyes.
When reversing, perform shoulder checks and use all mirrors. Use the camera forguidance purposes only. It is not intendedto replace your own direct visual checks
and is not a substitute for careful driving.
Cleaning the Camera
To ensure a clear picture, keep the camera
lens clean, and free of obstructions. Remove
any buildup of dirt by occasionally wiping the camera lens with a soft damp cloth.
Caution: Do not use chemical-based or
abrasive cleaners. Doing so can damage
the surface of the camera lens.

Driver Assistance
About Driver Assistance
How It Works Your Model X includes the following Driver Assistance components that actively monitor the
surrounding roadway:
1. A camera is mounted above the rear license plate.
2. Ultrasonic sensors are located in the front and rear bumpers.
3. A camera is mounted in each door pillar.
4. Three cameras are mounted to the windshield above the rear view mirror.
5. A camera is mounted to each front fender.
6. Radar is mounted behind the front bumper on the right side of the vehicle.
Model X is also equipped with high precision electronically-assisted braking and steering systems.

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

Auto Lane Change
Warning: Auto Lane Change is designed
to be used only when driving on
restricted-access highways (i.e. with on-
ramps and off-ramps).
If you have purchased the optional Enhanced
Autopilot or Full Self-Driving Capabilitypackages, you can use Auto Lane Change to
move Model X into an adjacent lane. When
both Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and
Autosteer are active, Auto Lane Change intelligently assists you in steering Model X
into an adjacent driving lane. Using the
forward looking camera(s), the radar sensor,
and ultrasonic sensors, Model X detects lane
markings and the presence of other vehicles.
Auto Lane Change is designed for use on
restricted-access highways with visible lane
markings and under relatively predictable
circumstances in which minimal steering and
driver intervention is needed.
Warning: It is the driver

Autopark
If you have purchased the optional Enhanced Autopilot or Full Self-Driving Capabilitypackage, Autopark uses data from theultrasonic sensors and GPS to:

Note: Summon can move Model X a short
distance laterally to avoid an obstacle but in
doing so, does not return the vehicle to its driving path (i.e. Summon does not attempt tomove Model X around an obstacle).Warning: Summon is unable to operate as
intended if the ultrasonic sensors are
obstructed by a vehicle bra, excessive
paint, or adhesive products (such as wraps, stickers, rubber coating, etc.).Warning: Model X cannot detect
obstacles that are located lower than the
bumper, are very narrow (i.e. bicycles), or
are hanging from a ceiling. In addition,
many unforeseen circumstances can impair Summon
