Opening and Closing Falcon Wing
Doors
Model X has electrically-powered falcon wing
doors that easily open and close by pressing a
button, using the key, or touching the controls
on the touchscreen (Controls > Doors). 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.
You can choose whether falcon wing doors
open partially or fully. Using the touchscreen,
touch Controls > Settings > Vehicle > Door
Open Mode.
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.

touch the door controls on the touchscreen

Note: If Model X is locked, pulling the switch
(illustrated above) the first time unlocks the
associated door. Pulling it a second time

To close a falcon wing door, press the button
located on the inside of the door. You can also
use the key (see Using the Key on page 4,
push the switch on the door pillar (illustrated
above), or touch the door controls on the
touchscreen (Controls > Doors):
Note: To prevent children from opening falcon
wing doors using the interior switch, turn on
child-protection locks using the touchscreen
(Controls > Settings > Vehicle > Child
Protection Lock). See Child-protection Lock
on page 9.
Warning: Whenever a front door is
partially open (approximately 20°) as you
are opening or closing the associated
falcon wing door, you MUST keep your
hands (or any object) away from the
opening edge of the front door. When a
falcon wing door passes by a partially
opened front door, the distance between
the two doors is very narrow. Objects,
