Pushing The Vehicle - Tesla X 2016 Emergency Response Manual

PUSHING THE VEHICLE

PUSHING THE VEHICLE
Warning: Refer to the Owner's Manual on the touchscreen or the Roadside Assistance Guide in the glovebox for instructions on how
to transport Model X. The following instructions are intended to be used when only moving Model X a very short distance to
improve traffic safety. Damage caused by transporting the vehicle is not covered by the warranty.
In situations where there is minimal risk of fire or high voltage exposure (for example, the vehicle does not accelerate after coming to a
stop at an intersection) and 12V power is present, Model X can be quickly pushed in order to clear the roadway. If a driver is present,
simply shift Model X into Neutral and then push the vehicle. If a driver is not present, Model X may automatically shift into Park when it
detects the driver leaving the vehicle (even if it has previously been shifted into Neutral).
To keep Model X in Neutral (which disengages the parking brake and allows the vehicle to be pushed) without a driver present, use the
touchscreen to activate Tow Mode:
1. Shift Model X into Park.
2. Press and hold the brake pedal, then on the touchscreen touch Controls > Settings > Service & Reset > Tow Mode > ON.
When Tow mode is active, Model X displays this indicator light on the instrument panel, along with a message
indicating that Model X is free-rolling.
To cancel Tow Mode, shift Model X into Park.
NOTE: If the electrical system is not working, the electric parking brake cannot be released. Attempt to jump start the 12V battery. For
instructions, call Tesla Roadside Assistance.
