WARNING: Always maintain a safe driving distance
from the vehicle in front of you and exercise
caution when driving conditions are hazardous.
Brake disc wiping and hydraulic fade
compensation is not a substitute for adequately
applying the brakes.
Hydraulic Boost Compensation
Model X is equipped with a brake booster that activates
the brakes when the brake pedal is pressed. Hydraulic
boost compensation provides mechanical assistance if
the brake booster fails. If a brake booster failure is
detected, the brake pedal feels
stier to press and you
may hear sound when you press the brake pedal. To
stop Model X, apply steady force to the brake pedal
without releasing or pumping. Drive cautiously and
maintain a safe distance from other road users—brake
pedal responsiveness and braking performance may be
degraded.
Regenerative Braking
Whenever Model X is moving and your foot is o the
accelerator, regenerative braking slows down Model X
and feeds any surplus energy back to the Battery.
By anticipating your stops and reducing or removing
pressure from the accelerator pedal to slow down, you
can take advantage of regenerative braking to increase
driving range. Of course, this is no substitute for regular
braking when needed for safety.
WARNING:
In snowy or icy conditions Model X
may experience traction loss during regenerative
braking, particularly when in the Standard setting
and/or not using winter tires. Tesla recommends
using the Low setting (see To Set the
Regenerative Braking Level on page 66) in
snowy or icy conditions to help maintain vehicle
stability.
The Energy app displays real-time feedback on the
amount of energy being gained by regenerative
braking. You can also display the power meter on either
side of the instrument panel by choosing
Energy using
the scroll button on the steering wheel (see Steering
Wheel on page 48).
The amount of energy fed back to the Battery using
regenerative braking can depend on the current state
of the Battery. For example, regenerative braking may
be limited if the Battery is already fully charged or if the
ambient temperature is too cold.
NOTE: If regenerative braking is limited, a dashed
yellow line displays on the power meter.
To Set the Regenerative Braking Level
NOTE: The regenerative braking setting is not available
on all vehicles.
You can use the touchscreen to change the level of
regenerative braking:
1.
Touch Controls > Driving > Regenerative Braking.
2.
Choose from two levels:
◦
Standard: Provides the maximum amount of
regenerative braking. When you release the
accelerator, Model X slows down, reducing the
need to use the brakes.
◦
Low: Limits regenerative braking. When you
release the accelerator, Model X takes longer to
slow down and coasts further than if set to
"Standard".
Stopping Mode
Regenerative braking decelerates Model X whenever
you release the accelerator pedal when driving. You can
choose what you want Model X to do once the driving
speed has been reduced to a very low speed (almost at
a stop) and both the accelerator pedal and brake pedal
are released. While in Park, touch
Controls > Driving >
Stopping Mode and choose from these options:
•
CREEP: When close to, or at, a complete stop, the
motor continues to apply torque, moving Model X
slowly forward (in Drive) or backwards (in Reverse),
similar to a conventional vehicle with an automatic
transmission. In some situations, such as on a steep
