Rear Trunk
Opening To open the rear trunk, do one of the following: • • • •
Touch Controls > Trunk on the touchscreen. Double-click the rear trunk button on the key. Touch the trunk button on the mobile app. With Model X unlocked, press the switch located under the rear trunk's exterior handle.
If Model X detects a low ceiling (for example, in a garage), it opens the rear trunk (and falcon wing doors) to a lower height, even if no obstacle is detected. You can override this height manually by opening the rear trunk to a higher height. Model X asks you on the touchscreen if you always want to open the trunk to the higher height in this location, and saves your choice. The next time you open the falcon wing doors in this location, Model X opens them to the height you saved. Warning: Before opening or closing the rear liftgate, it is important to check that the area around the liftgate is free of obstacles (people and objects). Although the powered liftgate can detect obstacles, it can not 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 serious injury.
Note: If Passive Entry is off, you must use the key to unlock Model X before you are able to manually open the rear trunk using the switch. See Using the Key on page 4.
Load Limits Secure all cargo before moving Model X, and place heavy cargo in the lower trunk compartment.
When a door or trunk/liftgate is open, the instrument panel displays the Door Open indicator light. The image of the Model X on the touchscreen Controls window also displays the open trunk.
Caution: To avoid damage, never load more than 175 lbs (80 kg) on the rear load floor (above the lower trunk compartment) or more than 130 lbs (60 kg) in the lower trunk compartment. Doing so can cause damage.
Closing
To stop a powered liftgate while it is moving, single-click the rear trunk button on the key. 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 it is opening, when you double-click, it closes.
To close the powered liftgate, do one of the following:
To open the trunk from inside Model X in the unlikely situation that Model X has no power, see Interior Emergency Trunk Release on page 14.
If a powered liftgate senses an obstruction when closing, it automatically opens and sounds two chimes. Remove the obstruction and try closing it again. If it cannot close the second time, powered operation is temporarily disabled. Close it manually to restore powered operation.
• • •
Double-click the trunk button on the key. Touch Controls > Trunk on the touchscreen. Press the switch located on the underside of the liftgate (see Adjusting the Opening Height on page 14).
Note: The power closing feature is also temporarily disabled if you leave the powered liftgate open for more than an hour. Opening and Closing
