Opening
To open the rear trunk, ensure Model X is in Park, then
do one of the following:
•
Touch Controls > Trunk on the touchscreen.
• Double-click the rear trunk button on the key fob.
• Touch the rear trunk button on the mobile app.
•
Press the switch located under the liftgate's exterior
handle (a valid key must be detected).
CAUTION: Before opening the liftgate in an
enclosed area (such as a garage), ensure the
opening height of the liftgate is properly adjusted
to avoid low-hanging ceilings or objects (see
Adjusting Liftgate Opening Height on page 25).
Model X must be unlocked or detect a key before you
can use the switch to open the liftgate.
The instrument panel informs you when a door or trunk
is open.
To stop a liftgate while it is moving, single-click the rear
trunk button on the key fob. Then, when you double-
click the rear trunk button, it moves again, but in the
opposite direction (provided it was not almost entirely
open or closed when you stopped it). For example, if
you single-click to stop the
liftgate while opening, when
you double-click, it closes.
NOTE:
In emergency situations, you can override an
open or close command by grasping the liftgate to stop
it in place.
If Model X detects a low ceiling (for example, in a
garage), it opens the liftgate (and falcon wing doors) to
a lower height, even if no obstacle is detected. You can
override this height by manually lifting it higher. When
doing so, the touchscreen prompts you to choose if you
always want the trunk to open to this higher position at
this location, and saves your choice. If you choose to do
so, the next time you open the
liftgate at this location,
Model X opens it to the saved height.
WARNING:
Before opening or closing the liftgate,
check the surrounding area (for people and
objects). Although the liftgate can detect
obstacles, it cannot detect all objects at all times.
Do not rely on the liftgate to sense an obstruction
when opening or closing. You must proactively
monitor the liftgate to ensure that it does not
come into contact with a person or object. Failure
to do so may result in damage or injury.
Adjusting Liftgate Opening Height
You can adjust the opening height of the liftgate to
make it easier to reach or to avoid low-hanging ceilings
or objects (for example, a garage door or light):
1.
Open the trunk, then manually lower or raise the
liftgate to the desired opening height.
2.
Press and hold the button on the underside of the
liftgate for three seconds until you hear a
confirmation chime.
3.
Confirm that you have set it to the desired height by
closing the liftgate, then reopening it.
