Managing Keys
To display a list of all keys (phone keys, key cards, and key fobs) that can access your
Model X, touch Controls
> Locks. An icon displays next to each key to indicate
whether the key is a phone key, key card, or key fob. Use
this list to manage keys that have access to your
Model X. To add or delete keys, see Adding and
Removing Keys on page 17.
Model X supports up to 19 keys. When you reach this
limit, you must delete a key before adding a new one.
NOTE: You can use the same key for more than one
Model X. This prevents you from having to deal with
multiple keys when you switch vehicles. If you customize the name of an authenticated key card or key fob on one
Model X (by touching the pencil icon), any other
Model X to which the key card or key fob is
authenticated also displays the changed name.
Adding and Removing Keys

NOTE: When adding a key fob, ensure it is at room
temperature. Pairing a key fob that is very cold can be unsuccessful.
1.
On the touchscreen, touch Controls > Locks > Keys >

Front Door Reset
Since your Model X does not have traditional door
handles that you can pull from the outside, it is
equipped with pop actuators (sometimes referred to as "ice breakers") that are used to assist in opening the front doors in cases where resistance is detected, such as ice buildup in cold weather. The pop actuator is located just above the front door latch and extends as necessary to open the front door. Once the front door opens slightly, the pop actuator gently retracts back into
the door.
If the pop actuator is unable to retract because it is
stuck to or caught on something, the pop actuator can be extended manually to extract the object by
performing the following:
1.
Carefully close the door latch using a pen, screwdriver, or comparable tool (never use a
finger or
body part and avoid damaging the paint);
Model X
will detect this as though the door is closed.
2.
Make sure Model X is unlocked, then press the
exterior door handle or pull the interior door handle
to reset the latch and extend the pop actuator.
3.
As the pop actuator extends out from the door, quickly extract the object.
WARNING: The pop actuator will attempt to
retract back into the door almost immediately
after the door handle is pressed or pulled. The
pop actuator retracts gently, but will not release
automatically if something gets caught.
WARNING: As with all mechanical and moving
parts on the vehicle, never put body parts in, or
near, moving components. Make sure children are
monitored when opening and closing doors.
Interacting with moving components, including the
pop actuator, can cause serious damage or bodily
injury.
Interior Locking and Unlocking
While sitting inside Model X, you can lock and unlock all
doors and trunks by touching the lock icon
in Controls.
The icon changes to indicate whether
doors are locked or unlocked.
Walk-Away Door Lock
Doors and trunks can automatically lock when you walk away carrying your phone key or paired key fob. To turn
this feature on or
off, touch Controls > Locks > Walk-
Away Door Lock.
When the doors lock, the exterior lights flash once and
the mirrors fold (if
Fold Mirrors is on). To also hear a
confirmation sound when Model X locks, touch Controls
> Locks > Lock Confirmation Sound.
Model X does not automatically lock if:

Drive Away Locking
Model X automatically locks all doors (including the
trunks) when your driving speed exceeds
5 mph
(8 km/h)8 km/h.
Driver Door Unlock Mode

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

Wearing Seat Belts
Using seat belts and child safety seats is the most
effective way to protect occupants if a collision occurs.
Therefore, wearing a seat belt is required by law in most jurisdictions.
Both the driver and passenger seats are equipped with three-point inertia reel seat belts. Inertia reel belts are automatically tensioned to allow occupants to move
comfortably during normal driving conditions.
To
securely hold child safety seats, all passenger seating
positions are equipped with an automatic locking
retractor (ALR) feature that, by fully extracting the seat
belt (beyond the length needed for a typical adult
occupant), locks the belt into place until the seat belt is
unbuckled.
The seat belt reel automatically locks to prevent
movement of occupants if
Model X experiences a force
associated with hard acceleration, braking, cornering, or
an impact in a collision.
Seat Belt Reminders
The seat belt reminder on the instrument
panel alerts you if a seat belt for an
occupied driver or passenger seat is unbuckled. If all occupants are buckled up and the reminder stays on, re-buckle seat
belts to ensure they are correctly latched.
Also remove any heavy objects (such as a briefcase) from an unoccupied seat. If the reminder light continues to stay on,
contact Tesla.
You can temporarily disable a seat belt reminder
associated with a rear seating position. This is useful when you are carrying an object in a rear seat that triggers the seat belt reminder alert. To disable the
reminder, touch the associated seat on the seat belt reminder popup message that displays on the touchscreen when a seat belt reminder is active. When a
reminder is disabled, the seat belt reminder icon is
replaced by a seat icon, for the current drive only. Touch the seat again to re-enable the reminder.
WARNING: Seat belts must be worn by passengers
in all seating positions. Do not disable a seat belt
reminder when the seating position is occupied by
a passenger.
To Fasten a Belt
1.
Ensure correct positioning of the seat (see Correct
Driving Position on page 35).
2.
Draw the belt out smoothly, ensuring the belt lays flat
across the pelvis, chest and mid-point of your collar
bone, between the neck and shoulder.
3. Insert the latch plate into the buckle and press
together until you hear a click indicating it is locked
in place.4.
Pull the belt to check that it is securely fastened.
5.
Pull the diagonal part of the belt toward the reel to
remove excess slack.
To Adjust the Shoulder Anchor
Height
Model X is equipped with an adjustable shoulder anchor
for each front seat to ensure that the seat belt is positioned correctly. The seat belt should lay
flat across
the mid-point of your collar bone while in the correct driving position
(see Correct Driving Position on page
35). Adjust the height of the shoulder anchor if the seat
belt is not positioned correctly:
1.
Press and hold the button on the shoulder anchor to release the locking mechanism.
2.
While holding the button, move the shoulder anchor up or down, as necessary, to correctly position the seat belt.
3.
Release the button on the shoulder anchor so that it
locks into position.
4.
Without pressing the button, pull on the seat belt webbing and attempt to move the shoulder anchor
downward to check that it is locked into position.

2. With the belt unfastened, unreel the webbing to its limit. Check that unreeling is free from snags, and
visually check the webbing for wear. Allow the webbing to retract, checking that retraction is
smooth and complete.3.
With the webbing half unreeled, hold the tongue plate and pull forward quickly. The mechanism should lock automatically and prevent further unreeling.
If a seat belt fails any of these tests, contact Tesla immediately.
For information about cleaning seat belts, see Seat Belts
on page 198.
Seat Belt Warnings
WARNING: Seat belts should be worn by all
occupants at all times, even if driving for a very
short distance. Failure to do so increases the risk
of injury or death if a collision occurs.
WARNING: Secure small children in a suitable child
safety seat as described in the Child Safety Seat
topic. Always follow the child safety seat
manufacturer

To securely hold child safety seats, all passenger seating positions are equipped with an automatic locking
retractor (ALR) feature that, by fully extracting the seat belt (beyond the length needed for a typical adult
occupant), locks the belt into place until the seat belt is unbuckled and the webbing is fully retracted. The ALR
mechanism operates as a ratchet, winding in slack and preventing the seat belt from extending any further until it has been completely rewound. When installing a child safety seat with integrated restraints, engage the belt

In the second row, install LATCH child safety seats in the
outboard seating positions only. Use only a seat belt
retained seat in the center position.
NOTE: If Model X is equipped with two seats in the
second row, both seats support the use of
LATCH child
safety seats.
NOTE: Second row outboard seats support the use of
upper tether straps (see
Attaching Upper Tether Straps
on page 47).
WARNING: Before driving after installing a child
seat in the second row, ensure that a "seat
unlocked" warning does NOT display on the
touchscreen or instrument panel. This warning
indicates that the seat is unsafe for an occupant
because it was not returned to its safe, locked
position. If the touchscreen or instrument panel
displays the warning message, move the seat or
backrest slightly forward or backward until it locks
firmly into position and the message no longer
displays.
Bench Seats
NOTE: To accommodate large rear-facing LATCH child
safety seats, you may need to move the seat in the full rearward position, and move the corresponding front seat forward to the mid-track position (up to 13 cm forward of the rearmost position), raise the seat upward
(3 cm from its lowest position), and angle the seat back
to 15 degrees (or 10 degrees rearward from its forward- most position).
