About the Security System
If Model X does not detect a key nearby and a locked
door or trunk is opened, an alarm sounds and the
headlights and turn signals flash. To deactivate the
alarm, press any button on the key.
To manually enable or disable the alarm system, touch
Controls > Safety & Security > Security Alarm. When
enabled,
Model X activates its alarm one minute after
you exit, the doors lock, and a recognized key is no
longer detected.
If your Model X is equipped with the security package,
a battery-backed siren sounds in situations where a
locked door or trunk is opened and Model X does not
detect a key nearby. If you also want this siren to sound
in situations where
Model X detects motion inside the
cabin, or is moved or tilted (for example, with a tow
truck or jack), turn on the Tilt/Intrusion setting (touch
Controls > Safety & Security > Tilt/Intrusion) (if
equipped).
NOTE: If you plan to leave something that moves inside
your locked Model X, remember to turn o Tilt/
Intrusion. If this setting is on, any motion detected
inside Model X activates the intrusion alarm.
NOTE: If Model X is in Sentry Mode (see Sentry Mode
on page 157), you must disable Sentry Mode before
you can disable the Security alarm or the Tilt/Intrusion
alarm.
NOTE: The Security Alarm must be on to enable Tilt/
Intrusion.
NOTE: The Intrusion Sensor automatically disables in
situations where the climate control system is operating
when you have left your vehicle (see Keep Climate On,
Dog Mode, and Camp Mode on page 142). To override,
you can manually turn the Intrusion Sensor on again
after choosing Keep Climate On, Dog, or Camp Mode
(touch
Controls > Safety & Security > Tilt/Intrusion).
If your Model X is equipped with the Enhanced Anti-
Theft upgrade, the horn sounds in situations where a
locked door or trunk is opened and Model X does not
detect a key nearby. If the Tilt/Intrusion setting is on,
the horn also sounds if
Model X detects motion inside
the cabin, or if the vehicle is moved or tilted (for
example, with a tow truck or jack). To turn the Tilt/
Intrusion detection system on or o, touch Controls >
Safety & Security > Tilt/Intrusion.
PIN to Drive
To increase security, you can prevent Model X from
being driven until a 4-digit PIN (Personal Identification
Number) is entered. To enable this setting, touch
Controls > Safety & Security > PIN to Drive and follow
the on-screen prompts to create a driving PIN.
NOTE:
When enabled, in addition to entering the 4-
digit driving PIN to drive, you must also use it to enter
Valet mode for the first time and create the 4-digit
valet PIN that you can use to enter and exit Valet mode.
When in Valet mode, Model X can be driven without the
need for the valet to enter a driving PIN. In addition, the
PIN to Drive setting is disabled whenever Valet mode is
active.
If you forget your driving PIN, or to disable PIN to
Drive, return to this setting, touch the link to enter your
Tesla login credentials, then follow the on-screen
prompts.
NOTE: In the unlikely event that your touchscreen is
unresponsive, you may be unable to enter the PIN. In
this case,
first try to restart the touchscreen (see
Restarting the Touchscreen on page 52). If the
touchscreen is still unresponsive, you can still bypass
PIN to Drive by turning on Keyless Driving in the Tesla
mobile app.
Glovebox PIN
For additional security, you can protect the contents in
your glovebox with a 4-digit PIN (Personal
Identification Number). To enable this setting, touch
Controls > Safety & Security > Glovebox PIN and follow
the on-screen prompts. When enabled, you are
prompted to enter the PIN to open the glovebox. To
disable this setting, select the toggle to disable and
then enter the PIN.
If you forget your glovebox PIN, reset it by entering
your Tesla login credentials, then follow the on-screen
prompts.
NOTE: When you open the glovebox with both
Glovebox PIN and Valet mode enabled, you are
prompted for the glovebox PIN and taken out of Valet
mode after the glovebox opens.
Sentry Mode
NOTE: Depending on market region, vehicle
configuration, options purchased, and software version,
your vehicle may not be equipped with Sentry Mode, or
the feature may not operate exactly as described.
In Sentry Mode, cameras and sensors remain powered
on and ready to record suspicious activity whenever
Model X is locked and in Park.
To turn Sentry Mode on or o, touch the Sentry Mode
icon at the top of your touchscreen. Alternatively, you
can use voice commands, the mobile app, or you can
touch
Controls > Safety & Security > Sentry Mode. To
activate Sentry Mode using voice commands, say "Keep
Tesla safe", "Keep my car safe", "Sentry on", or "Enable
Sentry" (for details using voice commands, see Using
Voice Commands on page 49).
