Before folding, remove items from the seats
and the rear footwell. To allow the rear seats
to fold completely
flat, you may need to move
the front seats forward. To fold a rear seat,
push the corresponding button on the back
of the seat.
You can also fold the rear seats fully forward
by pressing the corresponding switch located on the left side of the rear trunk. Pressing the
switch causes the seat to unlatch. You can
then push it downward to lay it fully
flat.
To return the seats to their upright position,
pull upwards until it locks into place. To
confirm that the seat is locked in the upright
position, try pulling it forward.
NOTE: Driving with the rear seats folded may
increase noise in the cabin area (for example,
you may hear vibration sounds coming from
the rear of the vehicle such as the trunk, suspension, etc.).
CAUTION: While raising a rear seat back, hold the seat belt out of the way to ensure that the seat belt is not trapped behind the backrest or caught in the seat latch.
WARNING: Always ensure that the seats are locked in their upright position by attempting to push it forward or rearward, ensuring the latch is fully engaged. Failure to do so can increase the risk of injury.
Head Supports
The front seats include integrated head
supports that you cannot adjust.
The rear outboard seating positions include
an adjustable head support that can be raised/lowered or removed. The head support
should always be raised and locked into
position (so that the center is aligned with the
center of the ears) when occupied by a
passenger that is not in a child safety seat.
Lift the head support to the desired position. To lower the head support, press and hold the
button on the base of the outer post while
pushing down on the head support.
To remove a head support:
1.
Lift the headrest to raise it.
2.
Press and hold the button located at the
base of the right post.
3.
Insert a short, flat object (such as a small flat-head screwdriver) into the opening
on the inside base of the opposite post
and pull the head support upward.

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) feature that, by fully extracting 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 S 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 reminder
flashes and an intermittent
chime sounds. If all
occupants are buckled up
and the reminder stays on,
re-buckle seat belts to
ensure they are correctly
latched. Also remove any
heavy objects (such as a
briefcase) from an
unoccupied seat. If the
reminder light continues to
stay on, contact Tesla.
You can temporarily mute a seat belt
reminder associated with a rear seating position. This is useful when you are carrying
an object in a rear seat that triggers the seat
belt reminder alert. To mute the reminder,
touch the associated seat on the seat belt
reminder popup message that displays on the
touchscreen when a seat belt reminder is
active. When a reminder is muted, the seat
belt reminder icon is replaced by a seat icon.
Touch the seat again to unmute the reminder.
The reminder is disabled for the current drive
only.WARNING: Seat belts must be worn by passengers in all seating positions. Do not disable a seat belt reminder when the seating position is occupied by a passenger.
To Fasten a Belt
1.
Ensure correct positioning of the seat (see Correct Driving Position on page 26).
2.
Draw the belt out smoothly, ensuring the belt lays flat across the pelvis, chest and
mid-point of your collar bone, between
the neck and shoulder.
3.
Insert the latch plate into the buckle and
press together until you hear a click
indicating it is locked in place.
4.
Pull the belt to check that it is securely
fastened.
5.
Pull the diagonal part of the belt toward the reel to remove excess slack.
To Release a Belt
Hold the belt near the buckle to prevent the
belt from retracting too quickly, then press
the button on the buckle. The belt retracts
automatically. Ensure there is no obstruction that prevents the belt from fully retracting. The belt should not hang loose. If a seat belt
does not fully retract, contact Tesla.
