Tesla Built-In Rear Facing Child SeatsTesla Built-In Rear Facing Child Seats
16MODEL S
Seating a Child
The Tesla built-in rear facing child seats are
child restraint systems and must only be used
for children over 37” (94 cm) tall and weighing
between 35 and 77 lbs (16.2 to 35.2 kg).
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. The child’s
pelvis must be held securely in place by the lap
belt. Follow all instructions provided and do
not use supplemental child safety seats in
these seats .

NOTE: Whenever a child is seated in the Tesla
built-in rear facing child seats, it is
recommended that you set the climate control
system to draw outside air into Model S instead
of recirculating the air. This draws more air into
the rear seating areas.
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 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. Connect the chest clip and adjust it to be as
high as possible without causing the
shoulder belts to touch the child’s neck. 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,
release the chest clip, and separate the two
halves of the seat restraint.
