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.
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.
Seat Belt Reminders
The seat belt reminder on the
instrument panel alerts you if a seat
belt for an occupied driver or
passenger seat is unbuckled. If the
belt remains unbuckled, the

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 202.
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 as described in
the Child Safety Seat topic. Always follow
the child safety seat manufacturer

MONOPOST SEATS:
In the second row, install LATCH child safety
seats in the outboard seating positions only.
Use only a seat belt retained seat in the center position.
Note: If Model X is equipped with two seats in
the second row, both seats support the use of
LATCH child safety seats.
Note: Second row outboard seats support the
use of upper tether straps (see Attaching
Upper Tether Straps on page 42).
Warning:
Before driving after installing a
child seat in the second row, ensure that a
"seat unlocked" warning does NOT display on the touchscreen or instrument
panel. This warning indicates that the seat
is unsafe for an occupant because it was
not returned to its safe, locked position. If
the touchscreen or instrument panel displays the warning message, move the
seat or backrest slightly forward or
backward until it locks firmly into position
and the message no longer displays.
