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 ).
The seat belt reel automatically locks to
prevent movement of occupants if Model 3
experiences a force associated with hard acceleration, braking, cornering, or an impact
in a collision.
Seat Belt Reminders
The seat belt reminder on the
touchscreen alerts you if a seat belt
for an occupied seat is not fastened. If the belt remains unfastened, the
reminder

2.With the belt unfastened, unreel the
webbing to its limit. Check that unreeling
is free from snags, and visually check the
webbing for wear. Allow the webbing to retract, checking that retraction is smooth
and complete.
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 138.
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 (see Child
Safety Seats ). Always follow the child
safety seat manufacturer

Before seating a child, ensure that the child
restraint system is securely installed. Grasp the
front of the child restraint system with one
hand on each side, and attempt to:

Child Restraint System WarningsWarning: Never seat a child in a child
restraint system or a booster seat on the
front passenger seat when the passenger
front airbag is active. Doing so can cause serious injury or death.Warning: Never use a rearward facing
child restraint system on a seat protected by an active passenger front airbag.
Doing so can cause serious injury or
death. Refer to the warning label located on the sun visor.Warning: Some child restraint systems are
designed to be secured in vehicle seats
by lap belts or the lap belt portion of a lap-shoulder belt. Children could be
endangered in a crash if their child restraint systems are not properly secured
in the vehicle.Warning: Do not use a forward-facing
child restraint system until your child weighs over 9 kg (20 lbs.) and can sit
independently. Up to the age of two, a
child

Disabling the Passenger Front
Airbag
When a child is seated in the front passenger
seat (even when the child is seated in a child safety seat or booster seat), you must disable
the passenger front airbag to prevent it from
injurying the child if a collision occurs.
To turn off the front airbag on the passenger
side of the vehicle, touch Controls > Safety &
Security > Passenger Front Airbag .The Passenger Airbag indicator
displays in the top right corner
of the touchscreen to indicate
whether the front passenger
airbag is on or off.
Note: You can also touch this
status icon to manually turn the
passenger front airbag on or off.
If the airbag is on, even if you have turned it
off (or vice versa), contact Tesla immediately.
Note: Model 3 has a capacitive touchscreen
and may not respond to your touch if you are
wearing standard gloves. If the touchscreen is
not responding, remove gloves or wear gloves
with conductive fingertips for use with
capacitive touchscreens.
Warning: Never seat a child in a child
safety seat or a booster seat on the front
passenger seat when the airbag is
activate. Doing so can cause serious
injury or death.Warning: If the passenger front airbag
control does not appear to be
functioning, do not seat a passenger in
the front seat. Contact Tesla immediately
to have the vehicle inspected and if
necessary, repaired.

Caution: Keep sensors clean from dirt,
debris, snow, and ice. Avoid using a high
pressure power washer on the sensors
and do not clean a sensor with a sharp or abrasive object that can scratch or
damage its surface.Caution: Do not install accessories or
