Keys and Doors
WARNING: Whenever a front door is partially open
(approximately 20°) as you are opening or closing
the associated falcon wing door, you MUST keep
your hands (or any object) away from the opening
edge of the front door. When a falcon wing door
passes by a partially opened front door, the
distance between the two doors is very narrow.
Objects, such as hands or fingers, placed in this
area, are not detected by sensors and can
therefore become pinched between the doors. To
avoid bodily injury, it is a good practice to keep
your hands away from the front door whenever
you are opening or closing a falcon wing door.
WARNING: When opening or closing a falcon
wing door, it is important to proactively monitor
the movement of the door to ensure that it does
not come into contact with a person or object.
Failure to do so can cause serious damage or
injury.
CAUTION: Remove accumulation of snow or ice
before opening a falcon wing door. Snow can get
inside Model X and ice can prevent the door from
opening.
CAUTION: In rainy weather, leaving a falcon wing
open while opening the liftgate can result in rain
water falling from the liftgate into the rear seating
area.
NOTE: Falcon wing doors open only when Model X is
stationary.
Obstacle Detection
A falcon wing door stops moving when one of its many
sensors detects an obstacle, or when the door senses
resistance because it has made contact with an object.
The touchscreen displays a warning. In these cases,
provided it is appropriate to continue opening or
12
closing the falcon wing door, you can override obstacle
detection by pressing and holding the switch located
on the door pillar, or touching and holding the
associated door icon on the touchscreen.
When Model X detects a low ceiling (for example, in a
garage), it opens the falcon wing doors (and trunk) to a
lower height, even if no obstacle is detected. You can
override this height and open the doors higher by
touching the associated door icon on the touchscreen
(Controls > Quick Controls). The touchscreen displays a
message asking you if you always want to open the
doors to the higher height at this location, and saves
your choice. The next time you open the falcon wing
doors at this location, Model X opens them to the
height you saved.
WARNING: Before overriding a falcon wing door's
default opening height, visually inspect the area
to ensure adequate clearance between the door
and the detected object.
WARNING: Applying adhesive products such as
wraps, stickers, rubber coating, etc. on the
outside of the falcon wing doors can affect the
sensors' ability to detect obstacles properly.
Calibration
If the falcon wing doors lose calibration, a message
displays on the touchscreen. To calibrate the doors, first
ensure that both doors have plenty of space to open
and close and are clear of passengers, objects, etc.
Then press and hold the Calibrate button until five
seconds after calibration is complete. During
calibration, the lower door opens all the way out
(requiring extra space on the side of Model X), the
upper door moves all the way down, and then the lower
door closes.
Interior Locking and Unlocking
From inside Model X, you can use the touchscreen to
lock or unlock doors and trunks, provided a valid key is
inside the vehicle. Touch the lock icon on the
touchscreen's status bar.
When you stop Model X and engage the Park gear, you
can choose whether you want doors to unlock or
remain locked. To do so, touch Controls > Vehicle >
Unlock on Park. When enabled, doors automatically
unlock when you engage the Park gear.
You can also unlock doors by pressing the Park button
on the end of the gear selector a second time (for
example, after pressing it one time to engage the Park
gear).
NOTE: If a door or trunk is still open when you lock
Model X, it locks when you close it.
