Opening
To open the rear trunk, ensure Model X is in
Park, then do one of the following:
• Touch
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
liftgate's exterior handle (a valid key must
be detected).
Model X must be unlocked or detect a key
before you can use the switch to open the
liftgate.
The instrument panel informs you when a
door or trunk is open.
To stop a 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 liftgate
while opening, when you double-click, it
closes.
NOTE:
In emergency situations, you can
override an open or close command by
grasping the liftgate to stop it in place.
If Model X detects a low ceiling (for example,
in a garage), it opens the liftgate (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 liftgate at this
location, Model X opens it to the saved
height.
WARNING:
Before opening or closing
the liftgate, check the surrounding
area (for people and objects).
Although the 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 liftgate, do one of the following:
• Touch
Controls
>
Trunk
.
• Double-click the rear trunk button on the
key fob.
• Press the switch located on the underside
of the liftgate (see
).
If the 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
liftgate to make it easier to reach or to avoid
low-hanging ceilings or objects (for example,
a garage door or light):
