Unlocking When the Key Doesn't
Work
If Model X does not unlock when you walk up
to it, or when you press the unlock button on
your key, the key’s battery may be dead. If this
is the case, you can still unlock and drive
Model X.
To unlock Model X (and disable the security
alarm),
first position the key at the base of the
door pillar between the front door and the
falcon wing door, on the driver's side of the
vehicle, as shown. Then press the front driver's
door handle. If Model X doesn't unlock, try
adjusting the position of the key. The key must
be in the correct position. If Model X still
doesn't unlock, remove the key's battery and
try again. See Replacing the Key Battery on
page 5.
To drive Model X, place the key against the
center console, immediately below the 12V
power outlet, then press and hold the brake
pedal to turn Model X on.
Note: Unlocking Model X using this method
disables walk-away locking. You must
manually re-enable walk-away locking after
replacing the key’s battery.
For instructions on how to replace the key’s
battery, see Replacing the Key Battery on
page 5.
Opening Interior Doors with No
Power
If Model X has no electrical power, the front
doors open as usual using the interior door
handles. To open the rear doors, carefully
remove the speaker grille from the door and
pull the mechanical release cable down and
towards the front of the vehicle. After the
latch is released, manually lift up the door.
