the driver's door by double-clicking the key fob's lock/
unlock button. A subsequent double-click opens the
front passenger door.
You can also specify that you want to unlock only the
driver's door when you shift into Park by touching
Controls > Vehicle > Driver Door Unlock Mode.
NOTE: See
Cold Weather Best Practices on page 92
for information on opening the doors in cold weather.
CAUTION: The front doors may not fully open or
close automatically when parked on a very steep
hill. Never rely on Model X to fully open or close
the doors for you when parked on a steep hill.
NOTE: Depending on date of manufacture and options
chosen at time of purchase, your Model X may not be
equipped with automatic doors.
Whenever a door is open, the Door Open
indicator displays on the instrument panel.
Also, the image of the Model X on the
touchscreen's Controls window also
provides a visual representation of an open
door or trunk.
To close doors from the outside, you can:
• Manually push them shut.
• Single-click or triple-click the key fob's lock/unlock
button (if the Close All with Key Fob setting is on,
only a single click is needed to close all doors and
trunks—a triple-click is needed if the setting is off).
Once inside you can close the doors by touching
Controls.
NOTE: Powered doors stop moving if an obstacle is
detected.
WARNING: Before allowing an automated feature
to open or close a front door (rather than doing so
manually), it is important to check that the area
around the door is free of obstacles (such as
people and objects). You must proactively monitor
the door's movement to ensure that it does not
contact a person or object. Failure to do so can
result in damage or serious injury.
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.
Opening and Closing
Keys and Doors
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.
