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

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
