NOTE: Transport Mode is only intended to
allow for winching Model X onto a flatbed
truck or repositioning the vehicle out of a
parking space. While in Transport Mode, the
tires are allowed to rotate slowly (under 3
mph or 5 km/h) and for a very short distance
(less than 30 feet or 10 meters). See Activate
Transport Mode on page 248. Exceeding
these boundaries can lead to significant
damage and overheating that is not covered
by the warranty.
WARNING: Model X is equipped with
high voltage components that may be
compromised as a result of a collision
(see High Voltage Components on
page 200). Before transporting
Model X, it is important to assume
these components are energized.
Always follow high voltage safety
precautions (wearing personal
protection equipment, etc.) until
emergency response professionals
have evaluated the vehicle and can
accurately confirm that all high
voltage systems are no longer
energized. Failure to do so may result
in serious injury.
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 250.
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 250.
