Disable the Self-Leveling Air
Suspension System
NOTE: If Model X has no low voltage power, you need an
external low voltage power supply to use the
touchscreen. See
If Vehicle Has No Power on page 224.
Your Model X is equipped with an air suspension system
that automatically self-levels the vehicle, even when
power is
o. To prevent damage, you must activate Jack
mode to disable self-leveling:
1. Touch Controls > Suspension on the touchscreen.
2. Press the brake pedal, and then touch Very High to
maximize height.
3.
Touch Controls > Service > Jack Mode.
NOTE: Jack mode cancels when driving speed exceeds
4 mph (7 km/h).
Activate Transport Mode
Transport Mode keeps the parking brake disengaged
while winching Model X onto a flatbed truck. When
active, Transport Mode displays a message indicating
that the vehicle will remain free-rolling. The following are
required to enable Transport Mode:
•
Low voltage power. You are unable to use the
touchscreen to activate Transport Mode if
Model X
has no power.
•
Model X must detect a key. Transport Mode is
available only when a key is detected.
To activate Transport Mode:
1.
Ensure the vehicle is in Park.
2.
Chock the tires and make sure Model X is secure.
3.
Press and hold the brake pedal, and then on the
touchscreen, touch Controls > Service > Towing. The
touchscreen displays a message reminding you how
to properly transport
Model X.
4.
Press and hold the Transport Mode button until it
turns blue. Model X is now free-rolling and can slowly
be rolled (no faster than walking speed) for short
distances or winched.
To cancel Transport Mode, shift Model X into Park.
NOTE: If the electrical system is not working, and you
therefore cannot use the touchscreen to activate
Transport Mode, use self-loading dollies or tire skates.
Before doing so, always check the manufacturer's
specifications and recommended loading capacity.
Pull Onto Flatbed Truck From Front
(Using Tow Eye)
NOTE: If Model X has no low voltage power, you need an
external low voltage power supply to open the hood or
use the touchscreen. See
If Vehicle Has No Power on
page 224.
CAUTION: To avoid damage, only pull the vehicle
onto a flatbed truck using a properly-installed tow
eye. Using the chassis, frame, or suspension
components to pull the vehicle can result in
damage.
1. Locate the tow eye. The tow eye is located in the
front trunk.
2.
To remove the tow eye cover, insert a small, flat
screwdriver into the top and bottom slots, release the
snaps and pull the cover towards you.
NOTE: The front tow eye cover is connected to the
vehicle's black negative (-) terminal.
3.
Fully insert the tow eye into the opening, then turn it
counter-clockwise until securely fastened.
