serious injuries in a collision, as you could
slide under the lap belt or be propelled into the seat belt. Ensure your seat back
is reclined no more than 30 degrees when
the vehicle is moving.Adjusting Second Row Monopost

A Model X equipped with monopost seats can
accommodate up to three passengers in the
second row, depending on the option chosen at time of purchase. There are two ways to
adjust the position of these seats:
Page 23 of 213

1.Move seat forward/backward (up/down
on the control) and adjust the backrest
(left/right on the control).
2. Move seat forward/backward.
3. Adjust backrest.
Note: The backrest locks into position when
you release the lever. If a backrest is not
locked into position when a driving gear is engaged, the instrument panel displays analert for the unlocked backrest. Adjust the
backrest again, ensuring it locks into position.Warning: Riding in a moving vehicle with
the seat back reclined can result in
serious injuries in a collision, as you could slide under the lap belt or be propelled
into the seat belt. Ensure the backs of
occupied seats are reclined no more than
30 degrees when the vehicle is moving.Adjusting Second Row Bench Seats
If your Model X is equipped with two rows of
seats, the second row bench seats can
accommodate up to three passengers. Use the
mechanical adjustment lever located at the side of each outboard seating position to fold
or recline the seatbacks. The bench seat is
split 60/40 so the adjustment lever on the left
side moves the seatbacks for both the left and
center seats (whereas the lever on the right
moves the rightmost seatback only). While
pulling and holding the lever, move the seatback to the desired position, and then
release the lever. When returning a seatback
to its upright position, push and pull to ensure it is securely latched into position.

If your Model X is equipped with three rows of
seats, in addition to adjusting the seatbacks as
described above, you can use the mechanical
lever located beneath each outboard seating
position to move the second row bench seats
forward or rearward. The lever on the left side
moves the seat for the left and center seats,
and the lever on the right moves only the seat
on the right, because of the 60/40 split of the bench seats. Pull and hold the lever to move
the seat forward or rearward to the desired
position, and then release the lever.
Note: You can adjust bench seats using only
the mechanical levers. (You cannot adjust
bench seats on the touchscreen.) A bench
seat in
five-seat vehicles cannot be moved
forward or rearward; a bench seat in seven-
seat vehicles can be moved forward and rearward.
Warning: Riding in a moving vehicle with
the seat back reclined can result in
serious injuries in a collision, as you could slide under the lap belt or be propelled
into the seat belt. Ensure the backs of
occupied seats are reclined no more than
30 degrees when the vehicle is moving.
Folding Second Row Bench Seats
You can fold Model X second row bench seats
flat. Before you fold second row seats flat,remove items from the seats and the rear
footwell. To enable the second row seatbacks
to fold completely
flat, you may need to move
the front seats forward.
To fold second row bench seats
flat, simply
pull up on the mechanical lever located on the
side of each outboard seat, and fold the
seatback
flat. The adjustment lever on the left
side folds the seatbacks for both the left and center seats, whereas the lever on the right
folds the rightmost seatback only.
Accessing Third Row Seats
Accessing third row seats when monopost
seats are installed in the second row:
The Easy Entry button located on the backrest of each second row outboard monopost seat
makes it easy for passengers to enter and exit
the third row seating positions (if equipped).
When the Easy Entry setting is enabled (on by
default), you can tilt and move the associated
outboard seat fully forward and move the center seat forward with a single press of the
Easy Entry button. If Easy Entry is disabled
(recommended if a child seat is installed in the
second row), you must hold the Easy Entry
button to move the seats. Touch Controls >
Settings > Vehicle > Easy Entry > OFF to
disable single press Easy Entry. After you use
Easy Entry to access third row monopost seats, simply press the Easy Entry button onthe backrest of either outboard seat to move
the seats back to their seating position.

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.
