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

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
