area, are not detected by sensors and can
therefore become pinched between the
doors. To avoid bodily injury, it is a good
practice to keep your hands away from
the front door whenever you are opening
or closing a falcon wing door.
Warning: When opening or closing a
falcon wing door, it is important to
proactively monitor the movement of the
door to ensure that it does not come into
contact with a person or object. Failure to
do so can cause serious damage or injury
Caution: Remove accumulation of snow
or ice before opening a falcon wing door.
Snow can get inside Model X and ice can
prevent the door from opening.
Caution: In rainy weather, leaving a falcon
wing open while opening the liftgate can
result in rain water falling from the liftgate
into the rear seating area.
Note: Falcon wing doors open only when
Model X is stationary.
Obstacle Detection
A falcon wing door stops moving when one of
its many sensors detects an obstacle, or when
the door senses resistance because it has
made contact with an object. The touchscreen
displays a warning on the Doors tab. In these
cases, provided it is appropriate to continue
opening or closing the falcon wing door, you
can override obstacle detection by doing any
of the following:
• Hold down the top button on the key
while double-clicking the key's falcon
wing door button (see
page 4).
• Pull (or push) and hold the switch located
on the door pillar.
