Opening and Closing Falcon Wing
Doors
Model X has electrically-powered falcon wing doors that
easily open and close by pressing a button, using a key
fob, or touching the associated icon on the touchscreen.
The falcon wing doors are equipped with several sensors
that detect the presence of people and objects and, if an
object is detected, the door stops moving. Based on
detected objects, the doors may adjust their outward
and upward movement in an attempt to avoid
contacting the object. For example, if an object is
detected above Model X, the door's movement may
extend further outward but lower, whereas if an object is
detected beside the door, the door may extend outward
much less.
WARNING:
It is important to keep your hands clear
of the falcon wing door frames at all times.
Proactively check the door frame area prior to
closing, and monitor the movement of the door
during closing to ensure that it does not come into
contact with a person or object. Failure to do so
can result in damage or serious injury.
WARNING:
Before opening or closing a falcon
wing door, it is important to check that the area
around the door is free of obstacles (people and
objects). Although the doors have many sensors, it
can not detect all objects at all times, particularly
when moving. At any given moment, there may be
areas near the door that are not in the detection
zone. Therefore, when opening or closing a falcon
wing door, you and your passengers must stand
away from the door as it is moving, while
proactively monitoring the door's movement and
being prepared to take corrective action at any
time. To stop a door from moving, single-click the
falcon wing door button on the key fob, press the
switch on the door or door pillar, or touch the
button on the touchscreen.
To open a falcon wing door from outside Model X, press
the door handle or press the falcon wing door button on
the key fob (see Using the Key on page 7).
To open a falcon wing door from inside Model X, press
the switch located on the door pillar, or touch the
associated door icon on the touchscreen(Controls >
Quick Controls):
NOTE: If Model X is locked, using the switch (illustrated
above) the
first time unlocks the associated door. Pulling
it a second time opens it.
To close a falcon wing door, press the button located on
the inside of the door. You can also use the key fob (see
Using the Key on page 7), use the switch on the door
pillar (illustrated above), or touch the associated door
icon on the touchscreen (Controls > Quick Controls).
NOTE: To prevent children from opening falcon wing
doors using the interior switch, turn on child-protection
locks using the touchscreen
(Controls > Vehicle > Child-
Protection Lock). See Child-Protection Lock on page
13.
NOTE: You can configure Model X to open the falcon
wing doors to a lower height setting by using the
touchscreen (
Controls > Vehicle > Falcon Door Height).
NOTE: If a falcon wing door detects an obstacle while
closing, it reverses a few inches before it stops moving.
