object. Failure to do so can result in
damage or serious injury.
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
associated icon on the touchscreen
(Controls > Quick Controls). 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.
Warning: It is important to keep your
hands clear of the falcon wing door
frames at all times. Proactively check the
door frame area prior to closing, and
monitor the movement of the door during
closing to ensure that it does not come
into contact with a person or object.
Failure to do so can result in damage or
serious injury.
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, press the
switch on the door or door pillar, or touch
the button on the touchscreen.
To open a falcon wing door from outside
Model X, press the door handle or press the
falcon wing door button on the key (see
on page 6).
To open a falcon wing door from inside Model
X, press the switch located on the door pillar,
or touch the associated door icon on the
touchscreen (Controls > Quick Controls):
Note: If Model X is locked, using the switch
(illustrated above) the first time unlocks the
associated door. Pulling it a second time
opens it.
To close a falcon wing door, press the button
located on the inside of the door. You can also
use the key (see
the switch on the door pillar (illustrated
above), or touch the associated door icon on
the touchscreen (Controls > Quick Controls).
Note: To prevent children from opening falcon
wing doors using the interior switch, turn on
child-protection locks using the touchscreen
(Controls > Vehicle > Child- Protection Lock).
See
on page 12.
Note: You can configure Model X to open the
falcon wing doors to a lower height setting by
using the touchscreen (Controls > Vehicle >
Falcon Door Height).
