Opening
To open the rear trunk, ensure the vehicle is in Park,
then do one of the following:
•
Touch Controls > Quick Controls > TRUNK on the
touchscreen.
• Double-click the rear trunk button on the key fob.
•
Touch the rear trunk button on the mobile app.
• Press the switch located under the rear trunk's
exterior handle (a valid key must be detected).
NOTE: If Passive Entry is o, you must use a key to
unlock
Model X before you can use the switch to open
the rear trunk. See Using the Key on page 7.
Model X must be unlocked or detect a key before you
can use the switch to open the rear trunk.
When a door, trunk or powered liftgate is
open, the instrument panel displays the
Door Open indicator light. The image of
your Model X on the touchscreen also
displays the open trunk.
To stop a powered liftgate while it is moving, single-
click the rear trunk button on the key fob. Then, when
you double-click the rear trunk button, it moves again,
but in the opposite direction (provided it was not
almost entirely open or closed when you stopped it).
For example, if you single-click to stop the powered
liftgate while it is opening, when you double-click, it
closes.
NOTE: In emergency situations, you can override an
open or close command by grasping the powered
liftgate to stop it in place.
To open the rear trunk from inside Model X in the
unlikely situation that Model X has no power, see
Interior Emergency Trunk Release on page 17.
If Model X detects a low ceiling (for example, in a
garage), it opens the rear trunk (and falcon wing doors)
to a lower height, even if no obstacle is detected. You
can override this height by manually lifting it higher.
When doing so, the touchscreen prompts you to
choose if you always want the trunk to open to this
higher position at this location, and saves your choice. If
you choose to do so, the next time you open the rear
trunk at this location, Model X opens it to the saved
height.
WARNING: Before opening or closing the
powered liftgate, check that the area around the
liftgate is free of obstacles (people and objects).
Although the powered liftgate can detect
obstacles, it cannot detect all objects at all times.
Do not rely on the liftgate to sense an obstruction
when opening or closing. You must proactively
monitor the liftgate to ensure that it does not
come into contact with a person or object. Failure
to do so may result in damage or injury.
Closing
To close the powered liftgate, do one of the following:
•
Touch the associated CLOSE button on the
touchscreen (
Controls > Quick Controls).
•
Double-click the rear trunk button on the key fob.
•
Press the switch located on the underside of the
liftgate (see Adjusting Liftgate Opening Height on
page 16).
If the powered liftgate senses an obstruction when
closing, it stops moving and chimes two times. Remove
the obstruction and try closing it again.
Adjusting Liftgate Opening Height
You can adjust the opening height of the powered
liftgate to make it easier to reach or to avoid low-
hanging ceilings or objects (for example, a garage door
or light):
1.
Open the trunk, then manually lower or raise the
liftgate to the desired opening height.
2.
Press and hold the button on the underside of the
liftgate for three seconds until you hear a
confirmation chime.
