Front Trunk - Tesla MODEL X Owner's Manual

Front Trunk

Opening
To open the front trunk, ensure the vehicle is in Park, and
then do one of the following before pulling the hood
open:
• Touch Controls > Quick Controls > FRONT TRUNK on
the touchscreen.
• Double-click the front trunk button on the key fob.
• Touch the front trunk button in the mobile app.
When a door or trunk/liftgate is open, the
instrument panel displays the Door Open
indicator light. The image of your Model X
on the touchscreen also displays the open
front trunk.
WARNING: Before opening or closing the hood, it
is important to check that the area around the
hood is free of obstacles (people and objects).
Failure to do so may result in damage or serious
injury.
NOTE: The front trunk locks whenever closed and you
lock Model X using either the touchscreen or externally
using the key or mobile app, you leave Model X carrying
your key (if Walk-Away Door Lock on page 13
on), or when Valet mode is active (see
page 46).
Closing
The Model X hood is not heavy enough to latch under its
own weight and applying pressure on the front edge or
center of the hood can cause damage.
To properly close the hood:
1. Lower the hood until the striker touches the latches.
2. Place both hands on the front of the hood in the
areas shown (in green), then press down firmly to
engage the latches.
3. Carefully try to lift the front edge of the hood to
ensure that it is fully closed.

Interior Emergency Release
is turned
An illuminated interior release button inside the front
Valet Mode on
trunk allows a person locked inside to get out.
Press the interior release button to open the front trunk,
then push up on the hood.
CAUTION: To prevent damage:
• Apply pressure only to the green areas shown.
Applying pressure to the red areas can cause
damage.
• Do not close the hood with one hand. Doing so
applies concentrated force in one area and can
result in a dent or crease.
• Do not apply pressure to the front edge of the
hood. Doing so can crease the edge.
• Do not slam or drop the hood.
• To avoid scratches, don't have anything in your
hands (keys). Jewelry can also cause scratches.
WARNING: Before driving, you must ensure that
the hood is securely latched in the fully closed
position by carefully trying to lift the front edge of
the hood upward and confirming there is no
movement.
