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.
The front trunk locks when:
•
You lock Model X using the touchscreen, key or
mobile app.
•
You leave Model X carrying your key (if Walk-Away
Door Lock on page 22 is turned on).
• Valet mode is active (see Valet Mode on page 58).
Interior Emergency Release
An illuminated interior release button inside the front
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.
NOTE: The interior release button glows following a brief
exposure to ambient light.
WARNING:
People should never climb inside the
front trunk. Never shut the front trunk when a
person is inside.
WARNING:
Care should be taken to ensure that
objects inside the front trunk do not bump against
the release button, causing the hood to
accidentally open.
Opening Hood with No Power
In the unlikely event that Model X has no low voltage
power, you will be unable to open the front trunk using
the touchscreen, key fob, or mobile app. To open the
front trunk in this situation:
NOTE: The following steps do not open the front trunk if
Model X is locked and has low voltage power.
1. Locate an external low voltage power supply (such as
a portable jump starter).
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.
3. Pull the two wires out of the tow eye opening to
expose both terminals.
4.
Connect the low voltage power supply's red positive
(+) cable to the red positive (+) terminal.
5.
Connect the low voltage power supply's black
negative (-) cable to the black negative (-) terminal.
NOTE: Applying external low voltage power to these
terminals only releases the hood latches. You cannot
charge the low voltage battery using these terminals.
