Reverse
To manually shift into Reverse, swipe down on
the drive mode strip located on the
touchscreen or, if the touchscreen is
unavailable, press R on the drive mode
selector located on the center console. You
can shift into Reverse when
Model X is
stopped or moving less than 5 mph (8 km/h)
in Drive. You can manually close the park
assist view on the touchscreen by touching
the X in the upper corner.
Neutral
Neutral allows Model X to roll freely when you
are not pressing the brake pedal. To shift into
Neutral, do any of the following:
•
Open Controls, then press and hold the
Neutral icon on the drive mode strip until
Model X engages Neutral.
•
Choose Neutral from the drive mode
selector on the center console.
NOTE: When Model X is traveling over 5 mph
(8 km/h) and you swipe up or down on the
touchscreen's drive mode strip, a Neutral icon
displays at the bottom of the drive mode strip
from which you can also choose to engage
Neutral.
NOTE: You must press the brake pedal to shift
out of Neutral if Model X is moving slower
than approximately
5 mph (8 km/h).
Model X automatically shifts into Park when
you open the driver's door to exit the vehicle.
To stay in Neutral even when you leave
Model X, you must engage Transport Mode
(described next).
Keeping Your Vehicle in Neutral
(Transport Mode)
Model X automatically shifts into Park
whenever you
finish driving and leave
Model X. To keep Model X in Neutral when
you exit, allowing it to roll freely (for example,
pulling onto a
flatbed truck), you must
activate Transport mode:
1. Shift into Park.
2. Press the brake pedal.
3. 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 (for example, onto a
flatbed truck).
For more information on Transport Mode, see
Activate Transport Mode on page 248.
NOTE: In Transport mode, Model X does not
shift into a drive mode. You must
first cancel
Transport mode by touching Transport Mode
again. Transport mode also cancels if you use
the touchscreen or drive mode selector on
the center console to shift into Park or if you
manually apply the parking brake by touching
Controls > Safety > Parking Brake.
