Front Door Reset
Since your Model X does not have traditional door
handles that you can pull from the outside, it is
equipped with pop actuators (sometimes referred to as
"ice breakers") that are used to assist in opening the
front doors in cases where resistance is detected, such
as ice buildup in cold weather. The pop actuator is
located just above the front door latch and extends as
necessary to open the front door. Once the front door
opens slightly, the pop actuator gently retracts back into
the door.
If the pop actuator is unable to retract because it is
stuck to or caught on something, the pop actuator can
be extended manually to extract the object by
performing the following:
1.
Carefully close the door latch using a pen,
screwdriver, or comparable tool (never use a finger or
body part and avoid damaging the paint);
Model X
will detect this as though the door is closed.
2.
Make sure Model X is unlocked, then press the
exterior door handle or pull the interior door handle
to reset the latch and extend the pop actuator.
3. As the pop actuator extends out from the door,
quickly extract the object.
WARNING:
The pop actuator will attempt to
retract back into the door almost immediately
after the door handle is pressed or pulled. The
pop actuator retracts gently, but will not release
automatically if something gets caught.
WARNING:
As with all mechanical and moving
parts on the vehicle, never put body parts in, or
near, moving components. Make sure children are
monitored when opening and closing doors.
Interacting with moving components, including the
pop actuator, can cause serious damage or bodily
injury.
Interior Locking and Unlocking
While sitting inside Model X, you can lock and unlock all
doors and trunks by touching the lock icon
in Controls.
The icon changes to indicate whether
doors are locked or unlocked.
Walk-Away Door Lock
Doors and trunks can automatically lock when you walk
away carrying your phone key or paired key fob. To turn
this feature on or o, touch Controls > Locks > Walk-
Away Door Lock.
When the doors lock, the exterior lights flash once and
the mirrors fold (if Fold Mirrors is on). To also hear a
confirmation sound when Model X locks, touch Controls
> Locks > Lock Confirmation Sound.
Model X does not automatically lock if:
•
You check the Exclude Home checkbox and Model X
is parked at the location you have designated as
Home. For details on how to designate a location as
Home, see
Home, Work, and Favorite Destinations on
page 166.
•
A phone key or paired key fob is detected inside
Model X.
• A door or trunk is not fully closed.
•
The phone key's Bluetooth setting is turned o.
•
A phone key remains within range for ten minutes or
a key fob remains within range for five minutes after
all doors have been closed.
•
The driver does not use the driver door to get out of
the vehicle.
NOTE: It is ultimately your responsibility to ensure your
vehicle is locked, even when Walk-Away Door Lock is
enabled.
