Correct Driving Position
The seat, head restraint, seat belt and airbags
work together to maximize your safety. Using
these correctly ensures greater protection.
Position the seat so you can wear the seat belt correctly, while being as far away from the
front airbag as possible:
1. Sit upright with both feet on the
floor and
the seat back reclined no more than 30
degrees.
2. Make sure you can easily reach the pedals
and that your arms are slightly bent when
holding the steering wheel. Your chest
should be at least 25 cm from the center of the airbag cover.
3. Place the shoulder section of the seat belt
mid-way between your neck and your
shoulder. Fit the lap section of the belt tightly across your hips, not across your
stomach.
Adjusting the Driver

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
Seats
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:

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.
Front and Rear Seats
22Model X Owner

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.
Front and Rear Seats
Seating and Safety Restraints23

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
The front seat belts are equipped with
pre 

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.

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
