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.

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.

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.

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 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 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.

Load Limits

Secure all cargo before moving Model X, and place heavy cargo in the lower trunk compartment.

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 close the powered liftgate, do one of the following: • 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). 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. Note: The power closing feature is also temporarily disabled if you leave the powered liftgate open for more than an hour.

Adjusting the Opening Height

You can adjust the opening height of the powered liftgate to make it easier to reach: 1. Open the liftgate, then manually lower or raise it to the desired opening height. 2. Press and hold the button on the underside of the liftgate for two seconds until you hear a confirmation chime.

3. Confirm that you have set it to the desired height by closing the liftgate, then reopening it.

Accessing the Cargo Area

To access the cargo area inside the Model X rear trunk, push down on the ridged portion of the handle of the cargo cover and then pull up. You can then adjust the position of the cargo cover or completely remove it from Model X.

Caution: 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.

Interior Emergency Trunk Release

An illuminated mechanical release located inside the rear trunk allows you to open the rear trunk from the inside if Model X has no electrical power. This mechanical release also allows a person locked inside to get out.

1. Remove the cover by pulling its lower edge very firmly toward you. 2. Pull the cable to release the latch. 3. Push the rear trunk open. Note: The button glows for several hours after a brief exposure to ambient light.

Warning: Do not allow children to play inside the trunk or become locked inside.

An unrestrained child could suffer serious injury or death in a crash. A child could suffer heat exhaustion if trapped in the vehicle, especially without climate control on.
