Auto Shift out of Park
NOTE: Auto Shift out of Park is a BETA feature and is
disabled by default.
When Auto Shift out of Park is enabled, Model X is
designed to use inputs from various sensors to
automatically select Drive or Reverse. The instrument
panel displays the selected drive mode when the driver's
door is closed and seat belt is buckled.
To override the selection, press the brake pedal and use
the drive mode strip on touchscreen to shift into your
desired drive mode (Drive, Reverse, Park; see
Shifting
Using the Touchscreen on page 65).
Confirm the drive mode selection and follow the
instructions on the instrument panel before you press
the accelerator.
WARNING:
As always, be aware of your vehicle
and surroundings before driving. Never rely on
Model X to automatically select a suitable drive
mode without confirming the selection before you
start to drive.
If Auto Shift out of Park is unavailable, the instrument
panel displays a message.
Model X automatically selects a drive mode when:
•
Auto Shift out of Park is enabled (touch Controls >
Pedals & Steering > Auto Shift out of Park).
•
Model X is in Park.
•
The driver's seat belt is fastened.
•
The brake pedal is pressed.
•
All doors and trunks are closed.
•
The drive mode selector on the center console is not
activated (see Shift Using the Center Console on
page 66).
NOTE: Model X does not automatically select drive
modes in Valet Mode.
Auto Shift out of Park is disabled by default. When
disabled, use the touchscreen or the center console to
manually shift. To enable Auto Shift out of Park, touch
Controls > Pedals & Steering > Auto Shift out of Park.
Shifting Using the Touchscreen
When you press the brake pedal when parked, the drive
mode strip displays on one side of the touchscreen. Use
the drive mode strip to shift Model X: swipe up for Drive,
swipe down for Reverse or touch the P for Park. The
drive mode strip is always available on the touchscreen
when you touch
Controls.
NOTE: To shift from Drive into Reverse or vice versa, the
driving speed must be less than 5 mph (8 km/h).
NOTE: The touchscreen's drive mode strip displays the
Park button at all times. When driving below 5 mph (8
km/h), simply touch the Park button on the drive mode
strip to shift into Park. In emergency situations when
driving above 5 mph (8 km/h), press and hold the Park
button to engage the parking brake.
To shift into Neutral, open Controls to bring up the drive
mode strip, then press and hold Neutral until Neutral
engages.
NOTE: The touchscreen is the preferred method to
manually shift. However, in the unlikely situation in which
the touchscreen is unavailable and therefore can't be
used, the drive mode selector on the center console
automatically activates and must be used to shift (see
Shift Using the Center Console on page 66).
If you try to shift when it is prohibited by the current
driving speed, the instrument panel displays an alert, a
chime sounds, and the drive mode does not change.
