phone TESLA MODEL X 2023 User Guide

Unpairing a Bluetooth Phone
If you want to disconnect your phone and use it again
later, simply touch
Disconnect on the Bluetooth settings
screen. If you no longer want to use your phone with
Model X, touch Forget This Device. Once you forget a
device, you must pair it again if you want to use it with
Model X (see Pairing a Bluetooth Phone on page 143).
NOTE: Your phone automatically disconnects when you
leave
Model X.
NOTE: Unpairing the phone has no effect on using the
phone as a key. To forget an authenticated phone, see
Managing Keys on page 17.
Connecting to a Paired Phone
Model X automatically connects to a phone that you
designated as
Priority Device on the Bluetooth settings
screen. If you have not set a phone as a priority,
Model X
connects to the last phone to which is was connected, provided it is within operating range and has Bluetooth
turned on. If the last phone is not within range, it attempts to connect with the next phone that it has
been paired with.
To connect to a different phone, touch the Bluetooth
icon at the top of the
Controls screen. The Bluetooth
settings screen displays a list of paired phones. Choose
the phone you want to connect to, then touch
Connect.
If the phone you want to connect to is not listed, you
must pair the phone. See
Pairing a Bluetooth Phone on
page 143.
When connected, the Bluetooth settings screen displays the Bluetooth symbol next to the phone

WARNING: Follow all applicable laws regarding the
use of phones while driving, including, but not
limited to, laws that prohibit texting and require
hands-free operation at all times.
In Call Options
When a call is in progress, the call menu displays on the touchscreen. Then roll the right scroll button to choose an option. To adjust the call volume, roll left scroll button during a call.
Calendar
The calendar displays scheduled events
from your phone

If you have defined a navigation address for your home
or work locations, you can use a voice command to navigate there by saying
"Navigate home" or "Take me
to work".
Contacts
To call or text a contact on your Bluetooth-connected phone (see
Phone, Calendar, and Web Conferencing on
page 143), say:

The Tesla mobile app allows you to communicate with
Model X remotely using your iPhone

While navigating, the map tracks your location and
displays the current leg of your trip. You can display the
entire route at any time by swiping down to expand the
turn-by-turn direction list or touching the route overview
icon.
To stop navigating, touch Cancel, located in the bottom
corner of the turn-by-turn direction list.
If Navigate on Autopilot (if available in
your market region) is enabled, you can
turn it on for the navigation route by
touching
Navigate on Autopilot in the
turn-by-turn direction list (when the
feature is active, the icon is blue).
Navigate
on Autopilot is a full self-driving (Beta)
feature that automatically changes lanes
and steers
Model X on controlled-access
roads (like highways and freeways), along a
navigation route. For details, see
Navigate
on Autopilot on page 110.
Selecting an Alternate Route
Depending on market region and vehicle configuration,
this feature may not be available on your vehicle. Your
vehicle must be equipped with Premium Connectivity.
After you have entered a destination with one stop, the
map displays up to three alternate routes. This allows you to easily compare total travel time and
traffic
information for each route. If you do not select a
preferred route within the timeout period, the fastest route is automatically selected.
Adding Stops to a Route
After you have entered a destination, you can edit your
route by adding, deleting or reordering stops. Touch the three dots at the bottom of the turn-by-turn direction
list to view options to edit your route.
Add Stop allows you to add a stop by
searching for a location or adding a Home,
Recent or Favorite destination. You can
also add a stop by touching any pin on the map and selecting
Add from the popup.
Edit Stop allows you to set up a complex
trip by adding or deleting stops on your route. Drag and drop stops by touching the equal sign to reorder your trip.
Automatic Navigation
NOTE: Automatic Navigation may not be available in all
market regions and on all vehicle configurations.
Automatic Navigation can predict a destination when
you get in your vehicle. When your phone

USB Connected Flash Drives
Insert a flash drive into a front USB port (see USB Ports
on page 30). Touch Media Player > USB, and then touch
the name of the folder that contains the song you want to play. After you display the contents of a folder on the USB connected
flash drive, you can touch any song in
the list to play it. Or use the previous and next arrows in
Media Player to scroll through your songs. You can also
scroll to next/previous songs using the left scroll button on the
steering yoke (or steering wheel).
NOTE: To play media from a USB connection, Model X
recognizes flash drives only. To play media from other
types of devices (such as an iPod), you must connect the device using Bluetooth.
NOTE: Media Player supports USB flash drives with
exFAT formatting (NTFS is not currently supported).
NOTE: Use a USB port located at the front of the center
console. The USB connections at the rear of the console are for charging only.
Bluetooth Connected Devices
If you have a Bluetooth-capable device such as a phone that is paired and connected to
Model X (see Pairing a
Bluetooth Phone on page 143), you can play audio files

stored on it. Choose Media Player

CAUTION: The front seats are equipped with
microphones (see Active Road Noise Reduction on
page 32) that must not be exposed to liquids. To
prevent damage to these microphones when
cleaning, do not over-saturate the area of the seats
where these microphones are located.
Carpets
Avoid over-wetting carpets. For heavily soiled areas, use
a diluted upholstery cleaner.
Seat Belts
Extend the belts to wipe. Do not use any type of
detergent or chemical cleaning agent. Allow the belts to dry naturally while extended, preferably away from direct sunlight.
Door Seals
Wipe door seals with a damp cloth to remove any debris. Excessive debris on the door seals can cause
paint damage when contacting surrounding surfaces. Avoid using alcohol wipes or any chemical products that can potentially deteriorate the coating on the door seals.
Touchscreen, Rear Touchscreen, and
Instrument Panel
Clean the touchscreen and instrument panel using a soft
lint-free cloth
specifically designed to clean monitors
and displays. Do not use cleaners (such as a glass cleaner) or alcohol-based gel products (such as hand
sanitizer) and do not use a wet wipe or a dry statically- charged cloth (such as a recently washed
microfiber). To
wipe the touchscreen without activating buttons and
changing settings, you can enable Screen Clean Mode. Touch
Controls > Display > Screen Clean Mode. The
display darkens to make it easy to see dust and smudges. To exit Screen Clean Mode, press and hold
HOLD TO EXIT.
Chrome and Metal Surfaces
Polish, abrasive cleaners, alcohol-based gel products (such as hand sanitizer), and hard cloths can damage the
finish on chrome and metal surfaces.
Cautions for Interior Cleaning
CAUTION: Using solvents (including alcohol),
alcohol-based gel products (such as hand
sanitizer), bleach, citrus, naphtha, or silicone-based
products or additives on interior components can
cause damage.
CAUTION: Statically-charged materials can cause
damage to the touchscreen or instrument panel.
WARNING: If you notice any damage on an airbag
or seat belt, contact Tesla immediately.
WARNING: Do not allow any water, cleaners, or
fabric to enter a seat belt mechanism.
WARNING: Exposure to chemical cleaners can be
hazardous and can irritate eyes and skin. Read and
observe the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the chemical cleaner.
