Opening And Closing; Keys And Doors - Tesla MODEL X 2019 Owner's Manual

Keys and Doors

Keyless Locking and Unlocking
Locking and unlocking Model X is convenient.
Although you must be carrying a valid key,
there is no need to use it. Model X has sensors
around the driver's door that can recognize
the presence of a key within a range of
approximately one meter. So, you can keep
your key in your pocket or purse and Model X
detects it as you approach.
When you walk up to Model X carrying your
key, the doors automatically unlock if Passive
Entry is on (Controls > Safety & Security >
Passive Entry). To open the rear trunk, press
the switch located under the trunk's exterior
handle.
Note: Model X must detect your key near the
driver's door before the doors or rear trunk
unlock.
Note: If Passive Entry is off, you must use the
key to unlock Model X. See
page 6.
If equipped with the premium upgrade
package, and the Automatic Doors setting is
turned on, when you walk up to Model X
carrying your key, doors automatically unlock
and the driver's door partially opens. If not
equipped, or if this setting is turned off, doors
automatically unlock and a door opens when
you press its handle.
Note: You can choose whether you want all
doors, or just the driver's door, to unlock when
you approach Model X carrying your key (see
Door Unlock Mode on page 12).
When carrying your key with you, you can also
open the rear trunk without having to use the
key. Simply press the switch located under the
trunk's exterior handle. Driver Door Unlock
Mode (see Door Unlock Mode
must be off and the vehicle must detect the
key near the driver's door before opening the
rear trunk.
Model X also locks automatically. If you enable
Walk Away Door Lock, Model X locks when
you walk away carrying your key with you (see
Walk-Away Locking
In addition, you can set Model X to sound a
soft horn whenever you car locks or unlocks.
To set up, touch Controls > Vehicle > Lock
Confirmation Sound.
While sitting inside Model X, you can also lock
and unlock the vehicle by touching the icon on
the touchscreen's status bar or by touching
Controls > Quick Controls.

Using the Key
To quickly familiarize yourself with the key,
think of the key as a miniature version of
Model X, with the Tesla badge representing
the front. The key has three buttons on the top
that feel like softer areas on the surface, and a
metal button on each side representing the
falcon wing doors.
