Pedals & Steering
Acceleration: Adjust the amount of acceleration. (See
Acceleration Modes on page

Using the Touchscreen

Voice
82).
Steering Mode: Adjust the amount of effort required to
turn the steering wheel (see
page 58).
Regenerative Braking: When you release the accelerator
when driving, regenerative braking slows Model X and
feeds any surplus energy back to the Battery. If set to
LOW, Model X does not slow down as quickly, but also
feeds less energy back to the Battery (see
Braking on page 76).
NOTE: Regardless of the setting selected, the energy
gained by regenerative braking is reduced if the Battery
is full, or is extremely cold or hot (in which case, surplus
energy is used to heat or cool it).
NOTE: The regenerative braking setting is not available
on all vehicles.
Stopping Mode: Choose how you want Model X to
behave once regenerative braking has reduced the
driving speed to a very low speed, a drive mode is still
engaged, and both the accelerator and brake pedals are
released. You can adjust this setting only when Model X
is in Park.
Slip Start: Turn on to allow wheels to spin (see
Control on page 78).
Range Mode (if equipped): If on, Model X conserves
energy by automatically limiting the amount of power
that the climate control system uses to maintain the
temperature of the cabin area and limits the amount of
energy being used to heat or cool the Battery. In
addition, Range Mode turns off signature lights (only in
market regions where daytime running lights are not
required).
Trailer Mode: Enable Trailer Mode before towing a trailer
(see Towing and Accessories on page
Seats
Adjust the seats: Adjust the second row seats by
touching the forward and backward buttons.
Easy Entry (if equipped): When enabled, you can move
a second row monopost seat all the way forward or
backward by touching the forward/backward button
once. When off, you must hold the button to move the
second row seats fully forward/backward (see
Accessing Third Row Seats (if equipped) - Monopost
Seating on page 28).
Suspension
Adjust the settings associated with the air suspension
system. You can adjust the Ride Height (helpful for
increasing ground clearance on steep driveways, etc.)
and you can optimize ride and handling by adjusting
settings for Adaptive Suspension Damping. See
Suspension on page 164.
