2018 TESLA MODEL X Owner's Manual 

Accessing third row seats when bench seats
are installed in the second row:
The Easy Entry button located on the backrest
of each second row outboard bench seat
makes it easy for passengers to enter and exit
the third row seating positions (if equipped). Press and release the Easy Entry button onthe left outboard seat to tilt and move the
combined left and center seats forward. Press
and release the Easy Entry button on the right
outboard seat to tilt and move the right seat
forward. After you use Easy Entry to access
the third row seats, push the bench seats back
to their seating position, ensuring the seats
are securely latched into position by pushing
and pulling on them.
Note: When bench seats are installed in the
second row, you access the third row seats
simply by pressing and releasing the Easy
Entry button.
In some situations, such as when you are
parked on an incline or when the seat trim
affects the movement of the bench seats, after
you press the Easy Entry button, the bench
seats might not move forward completely, and you may need to push the seats forward
gently until they reach the end of the track.
If a front row seat is positioned such that the second row monopost or bench seat will
collide with it during an easy entry operation,
it automatically moves forward just enough to accommodate the forward position of the
second row seat.
Note: Forward movement of second row seats
cancels if an occupant adjusts a second row
seat while it is moving.
Note: When an outboard seat tilts forward for
easy entry, its backrest resets to the neutral
position and may need to be re-adjusted.
Warning: Do not rely on Model X to
recognize or accommodate occupants
seated in the vehicle while using the Easy Entry feature. Use Easy Entry only whenseats are unoccupied.
Folding Third Row Seats
If Model X is equipped with third row seats, remove items from the seats and the rear
footwell before folding. To allow the third row
seat backs to fold completely
flat, you may
need to move the second row seats forward.
To fold a third row seat, press the button
located in the top outside corner of the seat.
The button has two detents.

2. Fold seat forward.
Note: If necessary, the second row seat may
move forward slightly to accommodate the forward position of the third row seat.
Note: To raise the seats, hold the button on
the top outside corner of the seat then pull
the seat back upward until it latches into place. To
confirm the seat back is locked in the
upright position, try pulling it forward.
Warning: Always ensure the seat backs
are locked in their upright position.
Failure to do so increases the risk of injury.

Wearing Seat BeltsUsing seat belts and child safety seats is the
most
effective way to protect occupants if a
collision occurs. Therefore, wearing a seat belt is required by law in most jurisdictions.
Both the driver and passenger seats are
equipped with three-point inertia reel seat
belts. Inertia reel belts are automatically
tensioned to allow occupants to move
comfortably during normal driving conditions.
To securely hold child safety seats, all
passenger seating positions are equipped with
an automatic locking retractor (ALR) that, by
pulling the seat belt beyond the length
needed for a typical adult occupant, locks the
belt into place until the seat belt is unbuckled
(see Installing Seat Belt Retained Child Seats
on page 34).
The seat belt reel automatically locks to prevent movement of occupants if Model X
experiences a force associated with hard acceleration, braking, cornering, or an impact
in a collision.
The seat belt reminder on the
instrument panel alerts you if a seat
belt for an occupied seat is not
fastened. If the belt remains unfastened, the reminder
flashes and
an intermittent chime sounds. If all
occupants are buckled up and the
reminder stays on, re-fasten seat
belts to ensure they are correctly
latched. Also remove any heavy
objects (such as a briefcase) from an
unoccupied seat. If the reminder
light continues to stay on, contact
Tesla.
To Fasten a Belt
1. Ensure correct positioning of the seat (see
Correct Driving Position on page 20).
2. Draw the belt out smoothly, ensuring the
belt lays
flat across the pelvis, chest and
mid-point of your collar bone, between
the neck and shoulder.
3. Insert the latch plate into the buckle and
press together until you hear a click
indicating it is locked in place.
4. Pull the belt to check that it is securely
fastened.
5. Pull the diagonal part of the belt toward
the reel to remove excess slack.
To Adjust the Shoulder Anchor Height
Model X is equipped with an adjustable
shoulder anchor for each front seat to ensure
that the seat belt is positioned correctly. The
seat belt should lay
flat across the mid-point
of your collar bone while in the correct driving
position (see Correct Driving Position on page
20). Adjust the height of the shoulder anchor
if the seat belt is not positioned correctly:
1. Press and hold the button on the shoulder
anchor to release the locking mechanism.
2. While holding the button, move the
shoulder anchor up or down as necessary
so that the seat belt is positioned correctly.
3. Release the button on the shoulder anchor
so that it locks into position.
4. Without pressing the button, pull on the
seat belt webbing and attempt to move
the shoulder anchor downwards to check that it is locked into position.

Warning: Ensure that the seat belt is
positioned correctly and that the
shoulder anchor is locked into position
before driving. Riding in a moving vehicle
with the seat belt positioned incorrectly
or with the shoulder anchor not locked
into position can reduce the
effectivenessof the seat belt in a collision.
To Release a Belt
Hold the belt near the buckle to prevent the
belt from retracting too quickly, then press the
button on the buckle. The belt retracts
automatically. Ensure there is no obstruction
that prevents the belt from fully retracting.
The belt should not hang loose. If a seat belt does not fully retract, contact Tesla.
Wearing Seat Belts When Pregnant Do not put the lap or shoulder sections of the
seat belt over the abdominal area. Wear the lap section of the belt as low as possible
across the hips, not the waist. Position the
shoulder portion of the belt between the
breasts and to the side of the abdomen. Consult your doctor for
specific guidance.
Warning: Never place anything between
you and the seat belt to cushion the
impact in the event of a collision.Seat Belt Pre-tensioners

3.With the webbing half unreeled, hold the
tongue plate and pull forward quickly. The
mechanism should lock automatically and
prevent further unreeling.
If a seat belt fails any of these tests, contact
Tesla immediately.
For information about cleaning seat belts, see
Seat Belts on page 170.
Seat Belt WarningsWarning: Seat belts should be worn by all
occupants at all times, even if driving for
a very short distance. Failure to do so
increases the risk of injury or death if a
collision occurs.Warning: Secure small children in a
suitable child safety seat (see Child
Safety Seats on page 30). Always follow
the child safety seat manufacturer
