displays in the top right corner
of the touchscreen to indicate
whether the front passenger
airbag is on or off.

status icon to manually turn the
passenger front airbag on or off.
If the airbag is on, even if you have turned it
off (or vice versa), contact Tesla immediately.

and may not respond to your touch if you are
wearing standard gloves. If the touchscreen is
not responding, remove gloves or wear gloves
with conductive fingertips for use with
capacitive touchscreens.

safety seat or a booster seat on the front
passenger seat when the airbag is
activate. Doing so can cause serious
