Seating Larger Children
If a child is too large to fit into a child safety
seat, but too small to safely fit into the
standard seat belts, use a booster seat
appropriate for the child
Page 35 of 207

In the second row, install ISOFIX child safety
seats in the outboard seating positions only.
Use only a seat belt retained seat in the center
position.
To install a ISOFIX child safety seat, slide the
safety seat latches onto the anchor bars until
they click into place. Carefully read and follow
the instructions provided by the child safety
seat manufacturer.
Once installed, test the security of the installation before seating a child. Attempt to twist the child safety seat from side to side
and try to pull it away from the seat, then
check to ensure the anchors remain securely
in place.
Note: Lower ISOFIX anchors should not be
used with child seats or booster seats that
have an integrated safety belt in situations
where the combined weight of the child plus
the child restraint is more than 33 kg. In these situations, use the safety belt instead.
Attaching Upper Tether Straps
If an upper tether strap is provided, attach its
hook to the anchor point located on the back of the rear seats.
Note: The location of anchor points may not
be readily visible but can be found by
identifying a slice in the seat
Page 36 of 207

Always position single-strap tethers to run
over the top of the head support.
Note: To prevent the single-strap tether from
moving side to side, the top of the head support deforms.
Testing a Child Safety Seat
Before seating a child, always make sure the
child safety seat is not loose:
1. Hold the child safety seat by the belt path
and try to slide the safety seat from side
to side and front to back.
2. If the seat moves more than 2.5 cm, it is
too loose. Tighten the belt or reconnect
the ISOFIX retained child safety seat.
3. If you are unable to reduce slack, try a
different seat location or try another child
safety seat.
Child Safety Seat Warnings
Warning: Never seat a child in a child
safety seat or a booster seat on the front
passenger seat when the airbag is
activated. Doing so can cause serious injury or death.Warning: Never use a rearward facing
child restraint on a seat protected by an
active airbag. Doing so can cause serious
injury or death. Refer to the warning label
located on the sun visor.Warning: Child restraint systems are
designed to be secured in vehicle seatsby lap belts or the lap belt portion of a lap-shoulder belt. Children could be
endangered in a crash if their child restraints are not properly secured in the
vehicle.Warning: According to collision statistics,
children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seating positions
than in the front seating positions.Warning: Do not use a forward facing
child safety seat until your child weighs
over 9 kg and can sit independently. Up
to the age of two, a child

and push until it locks into position. Visually check to ensure that the retaining
catches are engaged.
6. Check that the seat back and seat base
are securely retained in the upright
position by trying to pull the seat back
toward you.
Folding
Caution: Before folding the seats, fasten
the seat belts to prevent them from
getting trapped in the seat mechanism
and being damaged.
1. Pull the handle to release the seat back
and pull the seat back fully forward.

supports from the seat back, then fold
back onto the seat.
3. Secure the Velcro strap.

Airbags
Location of Airbags Airbags are located in the approximate areas shown here. Airbag warning information is printed
on the sun visors.
Model S is equipped with an airbag and lap/shoulder belt at both front outboard seating
positions. The airbag is a supplemental restraint at those seating positions. All occupants,
including the driver, should always wear their seat belts whether or not an airbag is also provided at their seating position to minimize the risk of severe injury or death in the event of a crash.
Note: On RHD (Right Hand Drive) vehicles, the locations of the passenger and driver airbags are
reversed.
