Creating a Driver Profile
When you first adjust the driver’s seat,
steering yoke position, or exterior side
mirrors, the touchscreen prompts you to
create a driver profile to save these
adjustments. Your profile also saves various
preferences you make while customizing
Model X.
To add a new driver profile,
touch the driver profile icon
at the top of the
Controls
screen. Then touch
Driver
Profile Settings
>
Add New
Driver
, type the driver's
name and touch
Create
Profile
. Follow the onscreen
instructions to save mirror
and steering wheel position
to the driver profile. Check
the
Use Easy Entry
checkbox if you want to
save (or use existing)
Easy
Entry
settings in which the
driver's seat and the
steering yoke are
automatically adjusted to
make it easy to enter and
exit Model X.
If you change the position of the driver’s seat,
steering yoke, or exterior side mirrors after
you have saved or chosen a driver profile, the
touchscreen prompts you to
Save
the new
position or
Restore
the previously saved
position (other settings are automatically
saved). To change a setting without saving or
restoring, just ignore the prompt.
NOTE:
Valet mode is a built-in driver profile
that limits speed and restricts access to some
Model X features (see
).
NOTE:
To stop automatic adjustments that
are in process based on a driver's profile,
touch
Stop
on the Driver Profile dropdown
menu. Automatic adjustments also stop if you
manually adjust a seat, mirror, or the steering
yoke.
Easy Entry
You can define an Easy Entry setting that
moves the steering yoke and driver's seat to
make it easy to enter and exit Model X. Any
driver can use the Easy Entry setting by
associating it with their driver's profile. When
the Easy Entry setting is associated with a
driver's profile, the steering yoke and driver's
seat automatically adjust when in Park and
the driver's seat belt is unbuckled, allowing an
easy exit from Model X. When returning to
the vehicle and stepping on the brake pedal,
settings automatically adjust back to the
settings used by the most recent driver
profile (or based on the key if it's linked to a
driver profile).
To use
Easy Entry
with a driver profile, ensure
the
Use Easy Entry
box is checked.
WARNING:
Never use Easy Entry to
move the driver's seat to the full
rearward position when a child safety
seat is installed on a rear seat located
behind the driver's seat. With reduced
clearance, the movement of the seat
may impact a child's legs, cause injury,
or dislodge the seat.
Selecting Between Driver
Profiles
To adjust Model X based on
a driver’s profile, touch the
driver profile icon at the top
of the
Controls
screen. Then
choose the driver, and
Model X is adjusted based
on the settings that have
been saved to the chosen
driver profile.
Saved Settings
A subset of the settings that you choose to
customize your Model X are automatically
saved to your driver's profile. Once saved, a
green check mark appears next to the driver
profile icon on the touchscreen. Examples of
automatically saved driver profile settings are:
• Navigation, temperature, lights and
display settings.
• Autopilot and driving preferences.
Linking a Driver Profile to a Key
You can link a driver profile to a key (or keys)
to allow Model X to automatically select the
correct driver profile when the linked key is
detected as you approach the vehicle and
open the driver's door. To link a driver profile
