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.
