Note: If Model X is locked, pressing the button
the first time unlocks the associated door.
Pressing it a second time opens it.

To close a falcon door, press the button
located on the door pillar.You can also use the
key (see 

 on page 4, or touch

Control > Doors > Close on the touchscreen:

Note: You can also pull the button on the door

pillar to open a falcon door, provided it is

already partially open enough for you to

access the button.
Note: To prevent children from opening falcon

doors using the interior button, turn on child-

protection locks using the touchscreen

(Controls > Settings > Vehicle > Child

Protection Lock). See 

on page 8.

Warning: Whenever a front door is
partially open (approximately 20°) as you
are opening or closing the associated
falcon door, you MUST keep your hands
(or any object) away from the opening
edge of the front door. When a falcon
door passes by a partially opened front
door, the distance between the two doors

is very narrow. Objects, such as hands or
fingers, placed in this area, are not

detected by sensors and can therefore

become pinched between the doors. To

avoid bodily injury, it is a good practice to

keep your hands away from the front

door whenever you are opening or

closing a falcon door.

Warning: When opening or closing a
falcon door, it is important to proactively
monitor the movement of the door to
ensure that it does not come into contact

with a person or object. Failure to do so
can cause serious damage or injury

A falcon door stops moving when one of its
many sensors detects an object, or when the

door senses resistance because it has made

contact with an object. In these cases,

provided it is appropriate to continue opening

or closing the falcon door, you can override

obstacle detection by doing any of the

following:

•

Hold down the top button on the key

while double-clicking the key's falcon door

button (see 

 on page 4).

•

Hold the button located on the door pillar.

•

Open or close the door using the

touchscreen.

Note: Falcon doors open only when Model X is

stationary.

Caution: Remove accumulation of snow
before opening a falcon door. Failure to
do so can cause snow to get inside
Model X.

Caution: In rainy weather, leaving a falcon
open while opening the liftgate can result
in rain water falling from the liftgate into
the rear seating area.

Interior Locking and Unlocking

From inside Model X, you can use the
touchscreen to lock or unlock doors and
trunks, provided a valid key is inside the
vehicle. Touch Controls > Lock/Unlock.

Note: If a door or trunk is still open when you
lock Model X, it locks when you close it.

Child-protection Lock

Model X has child-protection locks on the
falcon doors and liftgate to prevent them from
being opened using interior handles. Use the
touchscreen to turn child protection locks on
or off. Touch Controls > Settings > Vehicle >
Child Protection Lock.

Note: It is recommended that you turn child-
protection locks on whenever children are
seated in the rear seats.
