The Pedestrian Warning System (if equipped)
causes Model X to emit sound when driving
below 19 mph (32 km/h) or while driving in
reverse. Electric vehicles operate quietly and
this sound helps to alert pedestrians of your
oncoming vehicle. The sound, which activates
whenever Model X is shifted out of Park, gets
louder as speed increases.
WARNING: If sound cannot be heard,
pedestrians may not be aware of your
oncoming vehicle, which may increase
the likelihood of a collision resulting in
serious injury or death. If the
Pedestrian Warning System is not
operating, immediately contact Tesla.
