Glovebox USB port:
NOTE: Power is available whenever the vehicle is
considered "awake". The vehicle may be awake for many
reasons. For example, when using features such as
Summon, or when features such as Preconditioning,
Keep Climate On, Dog Mode, Camp Mode, or Sentry Mode are enabled. The vehicle is also awake whenever the
low voltage battery is being charged or is in use,
during high voltage charging, when the vehicle is communicating with the mobile app, etc. Leaving an accessory plugged in does not deplete the
low voltage
battery.
NOTE: Use USB 3.0 compliant cables to connect a
device to a USB port. Using non-compliant cables can result in slower charging, potential connection problems or degraded performance.
NOTE: Do not connect multiple devices using a USB
hub. This can prevent connected devices from charging or from being recognized by Media Player, Sentry Mode, Dashcam, etc.
Wireless Phone Chargers
Wireless phone chargers are integrated into both the
front and rear consoles, each providing up to 15W of power to charge Qi-enabled phones. Simply place your phone on the charger. Your device may feel warm while charging, but this is a normal
effect of inductive
charging.
When placed on the wireless charger, your phone
charges whenever the vehicle is powered on (the
touchscreen is on and you are in the vehicle). Your
phone does not charge when you leave the vehicle
unless a feature, such as Sentry mode is enabled.
NOTE: The phone must be in direct contact with the
wireless charger. Do not place objects between the phone and the charger (for example, credit cards, key
cards, coins, keys, metal objects, etc.).
NOTE: The wireless phone charger may not work if your
phone case is too large or is made of metal. Try removing the phone from its case before placing it on the charger.
NOTE: The wireless phone charger does not charge if

The power socket is suitable for accessories requiring up to 12A continuous draw (16A peak).
NOTE: Power is available whenever the vehicle is
considered "awake". The vehicle may be awake for many
reasons. For example, when using features such as Summon, or when features such as Preconditioning, Cabin Overheat Protection, Keep Climate On, Dog Mode,
Camp Mode, Sentry Mode, etc. are enabled. The vehicle
is also awake whenever the
low voltage battery is being
charged or is in use, during high voltage charging, when
the vehicle is communicating with the mobile app, etc. Leaving an accessory plugged in does not deplete the
low voltage battery.

Correct Driving Position
The seat, head support, seat belt and airbags work
together to maximize your safety. Using these correctly ensures greater protection.
Position the seat so you can wear the seat belt correctly, while being as far away from the front airbag as possible:
1.
Sit upright with both feet on the floor and the seat
back reclined no more than 30 degrees.
2.
Make sure you can easily reach the pedals and that your arms are slightly bent when holding the
steering
yoke (or steering wheel). Your chest should be at
least
10 inches (25 cm) from the center of the airbag
cover.
3.
Place the shoulder section of the seat belt mid-way between your neck and your shoulder. Fit the lap
section of the belt tightly across your hips, not across your stomach.
Model X seats include integrated head supports that
cannot be adjusted or removed.
Adjusting Front Seats1.
Move seat forward/backward and adjust the seat

WARNING: Riding in a moving vehicle with the
seat back reclined can result in serious injuries in a
collision, as you could slide under the lap belt or
be propelled into the seat belt. Ensure your seat
back is reclined no more than 30 degrees when
the vehicle is moving.
Calibrating Seats
(If equipped) You can calibrate the driver seat. This is useful if you
find your seat range limited or your driver
profile does not automatically adjust the seat for you.
Navigate to
Controls > Service > Driver Seat, Steering &
Mirrors Calibration and follow the instructions on the
touchscreen.
WARNING: Ensure nothing is behind or
underneath the driver seat during calibration.
Failure to do so may cause serious injury.
Adjusting Second Row Seats
(Bench)
Second row bench seats can accommodate up to three passengers. Use the mechanical adjustment lever
located at the side of each outboard seating position to adjust the seat backs. A bench seat is split 60/40 so the adjustment lever on the left side moves the seat backs
for both the left and center seats, whereas the lever on the right side moves the rightmost seat back only. While pulling and holding the lever, move the seat back to the desired position, and then release the lever. When
returning a seat back to its upright position, try moving
it forward or back to ensure it is securely latched into
position.
WARNING: Riding in a moving vehicle with the
seat back reclined can result in serious injuries in a
collision, as you could slide under the lap belt or
be propelled into the seat belt. Ensure the backs of
occupied seats are reclined no more than 30
degrees when the vehicle is moving.
Folding Second Row Seats (Bench)
The second row seat backs on bench seats can be
folded fully forward so they lay
flat and maximize cargo
space. Pull up the mechanical lever located on the side of each outboard seat (the same lever you use to recline
the seats, as described previously), then push the seat
back fully forward. The bench seats have a 60/40 split

NOTE: You can adjust the position of bench seats using
the mechanical levers only. You cannot use the touchscreen to adjust bench seats.
Adjusting Second Row Seats
(Monopost)
A Model X equipped with monopost seats can
accommodate two passengers in the second row. To
adjust the position of these seats, use the manual
adjustments.
Use the button near the top of the seat to move the seat
back forward/backward.
Use the L-shaped button at the bottom of the seat to move the seat forward/backward (up/down on the control) and adjust the backrest by tilting the top of the
L-shaped button forward/backward.
NOTE: The backrest locks into position when you release
the lever. If a backrest is not locked into position when a
drive mode is engaged, the instrument panel displays an alert for the unlocked backrest. Adjust the backrest again, ensuring it locks into position.
WARNING: Before driving, ensure the seat is
locked in position. You may need to pull the seat
forward or backward until it clicks into place.
Accessing Third Row Seats (if
equipped)
Bench Seats
If your vehicle is equipped with bench seats, a button is
located on the backrest of each second row outboard bench seat. This third row ingress button makes it easy for passengers to enter and exit the third row seating
positions. Press and release the button on the left outboard seat to tilt and move the combined left and center seats forward. Press and release the button on the right outboard seat to tilt and move the right seat
forward.
WARNING: For vehicles with third row seats, do
not use the third row ingress button located on the
backrest of a second row outboard bench seat
when a child is seated in the second row. Using the
button allows the combined left and center seats
to be moved forward and can squeeze the
occupant. Use this button only when the second
row seats are unoccupied. Before driving, ensure
the seat and the seat back are securely latched
into position.
In some situations, such as when you are parked on an
incline or when the seat

WARNING: After you use the third row ingress
button to access the third row seats, push the
bench seats back to their seating position,
ensuring the seats are securely latched into
position by trying to move them forward and
rearward. The seat must be fully latched into
position before driving. Push or pull the seat until
you hear the seat "click" into place. Failure to do
so increases the risk of injury.
Monopost Seats
If your vehicle is equipped with monopost seats, a third
row ingress button is located on the backrest of each outboard monopost seat in the second row. This button makes it easy for passengers to enter and exit the third row seating positions. Touch
Controls > Safety > Third
Row Easy Entry and choose how you want this button to
work:
