Jacking And Lifting - Tesla MODEL X 2015 Owner's Manual

Jacking and Lifting

Jacking Procedure
Follow the steps below to lift Model X. Ensure that any
non-Tesla repair facility is aware of these lifting points.
1. Position Model X centrally between the lift posts.
2. If your Model X is equipped with air suspension, it
automatically self-levels, even when power is off (see
Jack Mode on page 204). Use the touchscreen to set
the suspension as follows:
◦ Touch Controls > Suspension.
◦ Press the brake pedal, then touch Very High to
maximize the height of the suspension.
◦ Touch Controls > Service > Jack Mode to disable
self-leveling.
3. Close the falcon wing doors.
4. Position the lift arm pads under the designated body
lift points at the locations shown.
WARNING: DO NOT position the lift arm pads
under the Battery or side rails, as shown in red.
5. Adjust the height and position of the lift arm pads to
ensure that they are correctly located.
6. With assistance, raise the lift to the desired height,
ensuring the lift arm pads remain in their correct
positions.
7. Engage any lift safety locks. Follow the lift
manufacturer's instructions.
NOTE: Jack mode cancels when Model X is driven over
7 km/h.
NOTE: Jack mode may be unexpectedly enabled in
situations where an object is supporting the vehicle's
weight (for example the bumper of the vehicle is resting
on a curb).
WARNING: The air suspension system
automatically self-levels, even when power is off.
You MUST disable this system by engaging Jack
mode before lifting or jacking. If you do not
disable the air suspension, Model X can attempt to
self-level, causing serious damage, bodily injury, or
death.
204
WARNING: Never raise Model X when the charge
cable is connected, even if charging is not in
progress.
WARNING: Do not work on an incorrectly
supported vehicle. Doing so can cause serious
damage, bodily injury, or death.
CAUTION: DO NOT lift from under the Battery or
side rails. Place the lift arm pads under the
designated body lift points only. The locations
shown are the only approved lifting points for
Model X. Lifting at any other points can cause
damage. Damage caused by incorrectly lifting
Model X is not covered by the warranty.
Jack Mode
If Model X is equipped with air suspension, it
automatically self-levels, even when power is off. To
prevent damage when jacking or lifting the vehicle, you
must activate Jack mode to disable self-leveling. Jack
mode prevents the self-leveling that occurs even when
Model X is powered off.
Press the brake pedal, then touch Controls > Service >
Jack Mode.
To deactivate, touch Jack Mode again.
NOTE: Jack Mode automatically cancels when you drive
over 7 km/h.
NOTE: Model X also sets Jack mode automatically if it
detects that the vehicle cannot lower to its target
height, or if it detects that an object is supporting the
vehicle's weight (for example the bumper of the vehicle
is resting on a curb).
