Steering Wheel - Tesla MODEL X 2015 Owner's Manual

Steering Wheel

Adjusting Steering Wheel Position
Adjust the steering wheel to the desired driving position
by moving the control on the left side of the steering
column. Using this control, you can move the steering
wheel forward and backward and up and down.
WARNING: Do not make adjustments while
driving.
Adjusting Steering Effort
You can adjust the feel and sensitivity of the steering
system to suit your personal preference:
1. On the touchscreen, touch Controls > Pedals &
Steering > Steering Mode.
2. Choose a steering option:
◦ Comfort - Reduces the effort required to turn the
steering wheel. In town, Model X feels easier to
drive and park.
◦ Standard - Tesla believes that this setting offers
the best handling and response in most
conditions.
◦ Sport - Increases the effort required to turn the
steering wheel. When driving at higher speeds,
Model X feels more responsive.
Using Left Steering Wheel Buttons
Use the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel to
change radio stations, control media player volume, and
to choose what displays on the left side of the
instrument panel (whenever the Navigation app is not
