If combined weight of child and
safety seat is up to 65 lbs (29.5 kg), attach using either LATCH**
(both lower anchors and top
tether anchor), or the seat belt
and upper tether strap.*** If
combined weight of child and
safety seat is over
65 lbs (29.5 kg),
attach using the seat belt and
upper tether strap.***
Attach booster seats
using the seat belt only.* Many child safety seats currently available allow children to ride rear-facing using the child safety seat

WARNING: For vehicles with third row seats, when
a child is seated in a second row monopost seat,
the setting for the button that moves a second row
outboard seat forward for easy access into the
third row should be OFF (touch Controls > Seats >
Easy Entry). This ensures that you need to
manually hold the button to move the seat,
preventing a child seated in the second row from
being pushed against the corresponding front
seat. See #unique_143 on page .
To install a LATCH child safety seat, slide the safety seat
latches onto the anchor bars until they click into place. Carefully read and follow the instructions provided by
the child safety seat manufacturer.
Bench Seats
Monopost Seats
Once installed, test the security of the installation before seating a child. Attempt to twist the child safety seat from side to side and try to pull it away from the seat, then check to ensure the anchors remain securely in place.
NOTE: Lower LATCH anchors should not be used with
child seats or booster seats that have an integrated safety belt in situations where the combined weight of
the child plus the child safety seat is more than
65 lbs
(29.5 kg). In these situations, use the seat belt instead.
Attaching Upper Tether Straps
If an upper tether strap is provided, attach its hook to the anchor point located on the back of the second and third row (if equipped) seats.
NOTE: The location of anchor points may not be readily
visible but can be found by identifying a slice in the
seat

Single Strap - Third Row Seats
Testing a Child Safety Seat
Before seating a child, always make sure the child safety seat is not loose:
1.
Hold the child safety seat by the belt path and try to slide the safety seat from side to side and front to back.
2.
If the seat moves more than one inch (2.5 cm), it is
too loose. Tighten the belt or reconnect the
LATCH
retained child safety seat.
3.
If you are unable to reduce slack, try a different seat
location or try another child safety seat.
Child Safety Seat Warnings
WARNING: Extreme hazard! Do not seat a child on
the front passenger seat even if you are using a
child safety seat. This seat has an airbag in front of
it. Although this airbag is disabled when Model X
detects a lightweight passenger, do not rely on
technology to protect your child.
WARNING: Child safety seats are designed to be
secured in vehicle seats by lap belts or the lap belt
portion of a lap-shoulder belt. A child could be
endangered in a crash if a child safety seat is not
properly secured in the vehicle.
WARNING: According to collision statistics,
children are safer when properly restrained in a
rear seating position than in the front passenger
seat.
WARNING: Do not use a forward-facing child
safety seat until your child weighs over 20 lbs (9
kg) and can sit independently. Up to the age of
two, a child

NOTE: It takes approximately six seconds after you power on Model X for the occupant classification system (OCS)
to report accurate status of the front passenger airbag. As a result, when you
first power on Model X, even in
situations when it should be OFF because the seat is occupied by a weight of
20 lbs (9 kg) or less, it will take the
touchscreen approximately six seconds to display the status, PASS AIRBAG OFF. If it fails to do so, contact Tesla Service and do not seat a child in the front passenger seating position.
To make sure the sensing system can correctly detect occupancy status, eliminate the following:

The towing package allows you to tow a trailer with your
Model X. It also allows you to carry skis, snowboards, bicycles, etc. by attaching an accessory carrier to the hitch.
Carrying Accessories
The Model X towing package has a 2 inch hitch receiver
that can support an accessory carrier.
The hitch receiver is designed to support vertical loads
of up to
120 lbs (54 kg) when the load is cantilevered
rearward within
24 inches (63 cm) of the hitch receiver,
such as when carrying bikes on an accessory rack.
When carrying bicycles or other items on the Model X hitch, always check to ensure that the maximum weight
is not exceeded. When calculating weight, remember to include the weight of the accessory carrier.
For example,
assuming the carrier weighs 40 lbs, the weight threshold
is sufficient for carrying two bicycles weighing
approximately 40 lbs each, or four bicycles weighing
approximately 20 lbs each.
CAUTION: The Model X hitch is designed to
support up to 120 lbs (54 kg). Exceeding this
maximum weight can cause significant damage.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to install a carrier on a
Model X that is not equipped with the towing
package. Doing so can cause significant damage.
To install and use an accessory carrier, the tow hitch
must be connected (see
Connecting the Tow Hitch on
page 92). Then follow the instructions provided with
your accessory carrier. Observe all regulations and legal
requirements in your state/region that apply to carrying
accessories.
The Model X towing package includes the wiring necessary for using an accessory carrier equipped with
lights (
see Electrical Connections on page 94). The
package also includes Trailer Mode software (see
Trailer
Mode on page 89).
When you connect an accessory carrier

Towing CapacityThe total trailer weight (including all cargo and additional equipment), and the trailer tongue weight, must never
exceed the following:
Wheel/Rim SizeMaximum Towing Capacity*Maximum Tongue Weight**275/45R20 110 V / Y
SAE Class III

Plugging trailer wiring into the Model X electrical
connector automatically engages Trailer Mode (see
Trailer Mode on page 89).
WARNING: The brake controller output operates
only when a brake controller is installed (see Trailer
Brakes on page 90).
WARNING: Use only the electrical connection
designed by Tesla. Do not attempt to directly
splice or attempt to connect trailer electrical
wiring using any other method. Doing so can
damage the vehicle electrical system and cause
malfunctions.
CAUTION: Always ensure that the trailer electrical
cable does not contact or drag on the ground and
there is enough slack in the cable to allow for
turns.
Impact on Range
Towing a trailer and carrying accessories increases vehicle weight and drag. As a result, driving range can
decrease
significantly. Although Trip Planner attempts to
adjust estimates based on Trailer Mode, actual energy consumption may vary. Plan trip length and charging
destinations accordingly.

CAUTION: To prevent damage, never load Model X
so that it is heavier than GVWR or exceeds the
individual GAWR weights.

Understanding Tire Markings
Laws require tire manufacturers to place standardized information on the sidewall of all tires. This information
identifies and describes the fundamental characteristics of the tire. It also provides the tire identification number
(TIN) for certification of safety standards, and in case of a recall.
1.
Tire category: P indicates that the tire is for passenger vehicles.
2.
Tire width: This 3-digit number is the width (in millimeters) of the tire from sidewall edge to sidewall edge.
3.
Aspect ratio: This 2-digit number is the sidewall height as a percentage of the tread width. So, if the tread width is
205 mm, and the aspect ratio is 50, the sidewall height is 102 mm.
4.
Tire construction: R indicates that the tire is of Radial ply construction.
5.
Wheel diameter: This 2-digit number is the diameter of the wheel rim in inches.
6.
Load index: This 2 or 3-digit number is the weight each tire can support. This number is not always shown.
7.
Speed rating: When stated, indicates the maximum speed (in mph) at which the tire can be used for extended
periods. Q=99 mph (160 km/h), R=106 mph (170 km/h), S=112 mph (180 km/h), T=118 mph (190 km/h), U=124 mph (200 km/h), H=130 mph (210 km/h), V=149 mph (240 km/h), W=168 mph (270 km/h), Y=186 mph (300 km/h),
