Tesla Built In Rear Facing Child Seats
SEATING AND SAFETY RESTRAINTS 3.13
Seating a Child
The Tesla built in rear facing child seats are child
restraint systems and are approved to United
Nations ECE Regulation R44.04 standards for
use by children in Mass Groups II and III,
weighing 15 - 36 kg. These seats must only be
used for children who are between 3 and 12
years old, and 98 - 135 cm tall.
Always ensure the top of the child’s head
cannot contact the vehicle and that the child is
seated comfortably with the seat belts
positioned and latched correctly. Follow all
instructions provided and do not use
supplemental child safety seats in these seats.
NOTE: To draw more air into the rear seating
areas, it is recommended that whenever a child
is seated in the Tesla built in rear facing child
seats, you set the climate control system to
draw outside air into Model S, instead of
recirculating the air. See page 5.9.
1.Position the child in the seat with arms
through the loops of the seat belts.
2.Connect the two halves of the seat belt
tongue.
3.Insert the seat belt tongue latch into the
buckle and ensure it is securely fastened.
4.Adjust the shoulder belts so they run over
the top of the child’s shoulders and away
from the face.
5.Adjust the length of the buckle to ensure
the lower straps sit low on the child’s pelvis.
The child’s pelvis must be held firmly in
place.
6.Pull the lower straps until the child is
securely held in the seat.7.Slide the shoulder clips into place to ensure
the upper portion of the belts remain
positioned over the child’s shoulders.
To release, press the button on the buckle, and
separate the two halves of the seat restraint.
