Seating and Safety Restraints
Front and Rear Seats
Correct Driving Position The seat, head restraint, seat belt and airbags
work 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

serious injuries in a collision, as you could
slide under the lap belt or be propelled into the seat belt. Ensure your seat back
is reclined no more than 30 degrees when
the vehicle is moving.Adjusting Second Row Monopost
Seats
A Model X equipped with monopost seats can
accommodate two or three passengers in the
second row, depending on the option chosen
at time of purchase. There are two ways to
adjust the position of these seats:

1.Move seat forward/backward (up/down
on the control) and adjust the backrest
(left/right on the control).
2. Move seat forward/backward.
3. Adjust backrest.
Note: The backrest locks into position when
you release the lever. If a backrest is not
locked into position when a driving gear is engaged, the instrument panel displays analert for the unlocked backrest. Adjust the
backrest again, ensuring it locks into position.Warning: Riding in a moving vehicle with
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 Seat Backs
(Bench Seats)
If your Model X is equipped with two seating
rows, 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 toadjust the seat backs. A bench seat is split
60/40 so the adjustment lever on the left side
moves the seat backs for both the left and
center seats, whereas the lever on the right
side moves the rightmost seat back only.
While pulling and holding the lever, move the
seat back to the desired position, and then
release the lever. When returning a seat back
to its upright position, try moving it forward or
back to ensure it is securely latched into
position.Warning: Riding in a moving vehicle with
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.

An Easy Entry button is located on the
backrest of each second row outboard bench
seat. This button makes it easy for passengers
to enter and exit the third row seating
positions. Press and release the Easy Entry button on the left outboard seat to tilt and

forward. Press and release the Easy Entry button on the right outboard seat to tilt and
move the right seat forward. After you use
Easy Entry to access the third row seats, push
the bench seats back to their seating position,
ensuring the seats are securely latched into
position by trying to move them forward and
rearward.

parked on an incline or when the seat

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
on page 33).
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.
The seat belt reminder on the
instrument panel alerts you if a seat
belt for an occupied seat is not
fastened. If the belt remains unfastened, the reminder
