Seating and Safety Restraints
Front and Rear Seats
Correct Driving Position The seat, head support, seat belt and airbagswork 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

Folding Rear Seats
Model 3 has a split rear seat that can fold
forward.
Before folding, remove items from the seats
and the rear footwell. To allow the rear seat
backs to fold completely

Seat Belts
Wearing Seat Belts
Using 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 ).
The seat belt reel automatically locks to
prevent movement of occupants if Model 3
experiences a force associated with hard acceleration, braking, cornering, or an impact
in a collision.
Seat Belt Reminders
The seat belt reminder on the
touchscreen alerts you if a seat belt
for an occupied seat is not fastened. If the belt remains unfastened, the
reminder

2.With the belt unfastened, unreel the
webbing to its limit. Check that unreeling
is free from snags, and visually check the
webbing for wear. Allow the webbing to retract, checking that retraction is smooth
and complete.
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 138.
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 ). Always follow the child
safety seat manufacturer

Rear Outboard Seats
Infants and children can occupy a rear outboard seat using either belt-based or ISOFIX/i-Size
child restraint systems. You can use forward-facing and rear facing belt-based, ISOFIX (IU), and i-
Size (i-U) child restraint systems in a rear outboard seat. The rear outboard seats support the use
of the following ISOFIX size classes:

For dual-strap tethers, position a strap oneach side of the head support.
For single-strap tethers on the outboard seats,
run the strap over the outside-facing side of the head support

Child Restraint System WarningsWarning: Never seat a child in a child
restraint system or a booster seat on the
front passenger seat when the passenger
front airbag is active. Doing so can cause serious injury or death.Warning: Never use a rearward facing
child restraint system on a seat protected by an active passenger front airbag.
Doing so can cause serious injury or
death. Refer to the warning label located on the sun visor.Warning: Some child restraint systems are
designed to be secured in vehicle seats
by lap belts or the lap belt portion of a lap-shoulder belt. Children could be
endangered in a crash if their child restraint systems are not properly secured
in the vehicle.Warning: Do not use a forward-facing
child restraint system until your child weighs over 9 kg (20 lbs.) and can sit
independently. Up to the age of two, a
child
