Everything you need to know when driving Model X
displays on the instrument panel.
Key Fob Not Inside
If Model X does not detect a key fob when you press the
brake, the instrument panel displays a message telling
you that a key fob is not inside.
If you receive this message, press the brake and place
the key fob in the center console cup holder where
Model X can best detect it.
If Model X still does not detect the key fob, try holding it
against the center console, immediately below the low
voltage power socket (see
on page
23). If the key fob is still not detected, remove
the key fob's battery and try again. See
Key Fob Battery on page
If another key fob does not work, contact Tesla.
A number of factors can affect whether Model X can
detect the key fob. These include a low battery in the
key fob, interference from other devices using radio
signals, and objects between the key fob and receiver.

Starting and Powering Off
Always keep the key fob with you. After driving, the key
fob is needed to restart Model X after it powers off. And
when you leave Model X, you must bring the key fob
with you to lock Model X, either manually or
automatically.
Powering Off
When you finish driving, shift into Park by pressing the
button on the end of the drive stalk. When you leave
Model X with the key fob, it powers off automatically,
turning off the instrument panel and touchscreen.
Model X also powers off automatically after being in
Park for 15 minutes, even if you are sitting in the driver's
seat.
Although usually not needed, you can power off Model X
while sitting in the driver's seat, provided the vehicle is
not moving. Touch Controls > Safety > Power Off.
Model X automatically powers back on again if you press
the brake pedal or touch the touchscreen.
NOTE: Model X automatically shifts into Park whenever
it determines that you are exiting the vehicle (for
example, the driver's seat belt is unbuckled and the
vehicle is almost at a standstill). If you shift into Neutral,
Model X shifts into Park when you open the door to exit.
To keep Model X in Neutral, see
Transporters on page
Restarting the Touchscreen
You can restart your touchscreen if it is unresponsive or
demonstrates unusual behavior.
NOTE: To ensure the safety of occupants as well as
other road users, restart the touchscreen only when the
vehicle is in Park.
1. Shift into Park.
2. Hold down both scroll buttons on the steering wheel
until the touchscreen turns black.
