Adjusting Exterior Side Mirrors
Press the button associated with the mirror you want to
adjust (left or right). The button's light turns on and you
can then press the dial to move the mirror to the
desired position. Repeat for the other side mirror. If
prompted, touch
Save on the touchscreen to save the
mirror adjustment in your driver profile.
To fold and unfold exterior mirrors, press the center
button. You can set the mirrors to fold automatically
whenever Model X is locked by touching Controls >
Vehicle > Mirror Auto-Fold. The mirrors unfold
automatically whenever you unlock Model X.
When you use the center button to fold the mirrors in
for parking in a tight space, the mirrors remain folded in

31 mph (50 km/h), or
until you use the center button to unfold the mirrors.
NOTE: You cannot fold a mirror if driving above 31 mph
(50 km/h).
The driver’s side mirror automatically dims at night, in
proportion to the level of glare from the headlights of a
vehicle behind you (except when in Reverse gear). Also,
both exterior side mirrors have heaters that turn on and
o with the rear window defroster.
NOTE: See Cold Weather Best Practices on page 92
for information to ensure your mirrors function properly
in cold weather.
Auto-Fold Mirrors Based on Location
Model X can automatically fold and unfold the side
mirrors based on location, which saves you from having
to manually position them each time you need to fold
or unfold the mirrors when at a frequented place (such
as narrow garages, tight parking spaces, etc.).
To set up, Model X must be driving at a low speed (less
than 3 mph/5 kph) or stopped at the location you want
your vehicle to remember. Go to Controls > Vehicle >
Always Fold Mirrors at this Location. Next time you
approach the saved location, your mirrors fold and
unfold within 25 feet (7.5 meters) of the specified
location.
You can also integrate auto-folding mirrors with
HomeLink (see
HomeLink Universal Transceiver on
page 161). To enable, go to HomeLink > Auto-Fold
Mirrors when Nearby.
CAUTION:
Mirrors may not automatically fold or
unfold if you return to a saved location and are
driving faster than 3 mph/5 kph.
Mirror Auto-tilt When Reversing
Both exterior mirrors can automatically tilt downward
when backing up. To adjust the auto-tilt position, shift
into Reverse, then adjust the mirrors (press the button
associated with the mirror you want to adjust, then
press the dial to move the mirror to the desired
position). Touch
Save on the touchscreen to save the
mirror adjustment in your driver
profile.
When you shift back into any other gear, the mirrors tilt
back to their normal (upward) position. But now that
you have adjusted them for backing up, they
automatically tilt to the selected downward position
whenever you shift into Reverse.
You can turn the auto-tilt feature on or o using the
touchscreen, Touch Controls > Vehicle > Mirror Auto-
Tilt.
Rear View Mirror
The rear view mirror is adjusted manually. When in the
Drive or Neutral gear, the rear view mirror automatically
dims in low lighting conditions based on the time of
day (for example, when driving at night).
