Steering Wheel

Adjusting Position

Adjust the steering wheel to the desired driving position by moving the control on the left side of the steering column. Using this control, you can move the steering wheel forward and backward and up and down.

Warning: Do not make adjustments while driving.

Adjusting Sensitivity

You can adjust the feel and sensitivity of the steering system to suit your personal preference: 1. On the touchscreen, touch Controls. 2. Choose a steering option: • Comfort - Reduces the effort required to turn the wheel. In town, Model X feels easier to drive and park. • Standard - Tesla believes that this setting offers the best handling and response in most conditions. • Sport - Increases the effort required to turn the wheel. When driving at higher speeds, Model X feels more responsive. The only way to really know which option you like best is to try them.

Using Voice Commands

You can use voice commands to call a contact, navigate to a location, or listen to Internet music. Tap the voice button on the upper right side of the steering wheel to initiate a voice command. When you hear the tone, speak your command. As you speak, the instrument panel displays an interpretation of your command. (It also displays tips to remind you of the type of commands you can speak.) When you finish speaking the command, tap the voice button again or simply wait. • To call a contact on your Bluetoothconnected phone, say “Call” or “Dial”, followed by the contact’s first and/or last name(s). For example, “Call Joe” or “Call

Joe Smith”. • To search for, or navigate to, a location, say “Where is”, “Drive to”, or “Navigate to”, followed by an address, business name, business category, or landmark. For example, “Where is Stanford University?”,

“Drive to Tesla in Palo Alto”, or “Navigate to Starbucks on Homestead in Cupertino”.

If you have defined a navigation address for your home or work locations, you can use a voice command to navigate there by saying "Navigate home" or "Navigate to work". • To listen to an Internet music service, say

“Listen to” or “Play”, followed by the name of the song, album, artist, or combination.

To improve voice recognition accuracy, provide multiple cues in your command, such as artist plus song (for example,

“Listen to Yellow Brick Road” or “Play

Yellow Brick Road by Elton John”).

Heated Steering Wheel

If Model X is equipped with the optional cold weather package, you can access a control that instantly warms up the steering wheel by touching Controls > Cold Weather > Heated Wheel. When turned on, a heater in the steering wheel provides radiant heat that keeps the steering wheel at a comfortable temperature.

Horn
