Tesla Built In Rear Facing Child Seats
SEATING AND SAFETY RESTRAINTS 3.13
Seating a Child
The Tesla built in rear facing child seats are child
restraint systems and are approved to United
Nations ECE Regulation R44.04 standards for
use by children in Mass Groups II and III,
weighing 15 - 36 kg. These seats must only be
used for children who are between 3 and 12
years old, and 98 - 135 cm tall.
Always ensure the top of the child’s head
cannot contact the vehicle and that the child is
seated comfortably with the seat belts
positioned and latched correctly. Follow all
instructions provided and do not use
supplemental child safety seats in these seats.
NOTE: To draw more air into the rear seating
areas, it is recommended that whenever a child
is seated in the Tesla built in rear facing child
seats, you set the climate control system to
draw outside air into Model S, instead of
recirculating the air. See page 5.9.
1.Position the child in the seat with arms
through the loops of the seat belts.
2.Connect the two halves of the seat belt
tongue.
3.Insert the seat belt tongue latch into the
buckle and ensure it is securely fastened.
4.Adjust the shoulder belts so they run over
the top of the child’s shoulders and away
from the face.
5.Adjust the length of the buckle to ensure
the lower straps sit low on the child’s pelvis.
The child’s pelvis must be held firmly in
place.
6.Pull the lower straps until the child is
securely held in the seat.7.Slide the shoulder clips into place to ensure
the upper portion of the belts remain
positioned over the child’s shoulders.
To release, press the button on the buckle, and
separate the two halves of the seat restraint.

Airbags
SEATING AND SAFETY RESTRAINTS 3.17
Disabling the Front Passenger
Airbag
When a child is seated in the front passenger
seat (even though the child is seated in a child
safety seat or booster seat), you must ensure
the front passenger airbag is turned off. This
prevents the airbag from injuring the child if a
collision occurs.
NOTE: Rear seats are the preferred location for
seating children in child safety seats.
To turn the passenger airbag on or off, touch
Controls > Settings > Safety & Security >
Passenger Airbag.The ON/OFF status of the front passenger
airbag displays in the upper right corner of the
touchscreen.
You can also turn the passenger airbag on or off
by touching the status indicator, shown above.
If the status shows the airbag as on, even if you
have turned it off (or vice versa), contact Tesla
immediately.
NOTE: Model S 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: If the control for the
passenger airbag does not appear to be
functioning, do not seat any passenger in the
front seat. Contact Tesla immediately to have
the vehicle inspected and if necessary, repaired.
WARNING: Never seat a child in a child
safety seat or a booster seat on the front
passenger seat when the airbag is activated.
Doing so can cause serious injury or death.
WARNING: Do not use seat covers on
Model S. Doing so could restrict
deployment of the side air bags if an
accident occurs. It can also reduce the
accuracy of the occupant detection system.

Park Assist
DRIVING4.17 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
stickers on or near the parking sensors.
Controlling Audible Feedback
You can use Park Assist with or without audible
feedback. To turn chimes on or off, touch
Controls > Settings > Safety & Security > Park
Assist Chimes.

in these situations:
•One or more of the parking sensors is
damaged, dirty, or covered (such as mud,
ice, or snow).
•Object is located below approximately
20 cm (such as a curb or low barrier).
•Weather conditions (heavy rain, snow, or
fog) are interfering with sensor operation.
•Object is thin (such as a sign post).
•A sensor’s operating range has been
exceeded.
•Object is sound-absorbing or soft (such as
powder snow).
•Object is sloped (such as a sloped
embankment).
•Model S has been parked in, or is being
driven in, extremely hot or cold
temperatures.
•The sensors are affected by other electrical
equipment or devices that generate
ultrasonic waves.
•Object is located too close to the bumper.
•A bumper is misaligned or damaged.
•An object that is mounted to Model S is
interfering with and/or obstructing the
sensor (such as a bike rack or a bumper
sticker).

In addition to Park Assist, when shifted into
Reverse gear, the backup camera displays a
view of the area behind Model S. See
page 4.24.

3.Language & Units
Adjust how Model S displays:
•Language: Set the language used when
Model S displays alerts, notification
messages, and navigation instructions (if
equipped).
NOTE: When you change the language,
you experience a brief delay as Model S
shuts down and restarts the touchscreen.

formatting convention used to display
dates (mm dd yy/dd-mm-yy, etc) and
decimal separators (5.123, 5,123, etc).
•Distance: Miles or kms can be shown on
the range display, speedometer, energy
chart, trip meters, Google map searches
and navigation routes.
•Time: 12 or 24 hour format.
•Temperature:
oF or oC.
•Charging Units: Display energy (kWh) or
distance (miles/kms).
•Range: Rated range (based on ECE R101
testing), or Ideal range (based on the
assumption of driving in ideal conditions
at a steady speed of 89 km/h on a flat
road, and using no additional energy
(seat heaters, air conditioning, etc).
4.Ve h i c l e
•Drive-away Door Lock: If on, all doors
automatically lock whenever you drive
Model S over 8 km/h (see page 2.5).

Security SettingsSecurity Settings
5.22MODEL S OWNERS MANUAL
Security SettingsAbout the Security System
If Model S does not detect a key nearby and a
locked door or trunk is opened, the horn beeps
and headlights and turn signals flash. To
deactivate the alarm, press any button on the
key.
You can manually enable or disable the alarm
system by touching Controls > Settings >
Safety & Security > Alarm. When set to on,
Model S activates its alarm one minute after the
doors lock and a recognized key is no longer
detected nearby.
If Model S is equipped with the optional
security package, it includes a battery-backed
siren. If the Tilt/Intrusion setting is on, this siren
sounds when Model S detects motion inside the
cabin or if it is raised (for example, with a tow
truck or jack) when doors are locked and a
recognized key is not detected. To turn the tilt
and intrusion detection system on or off, touch
Controls > Settings > Safety & Security >
Tilt/Intrusion.
NOTE: If you plan to leave something that
moves, such as a dog, inside your locked
Model S, remember to turn off the tilt/intrusion
system. Any type of motion detected inside
Model S activates the siren.

HomeLink® Universal Transceiver
USING THE TOUCHSCREEN5.23
HomeLink® Universal TransceiverAbout HomeLink®
If Model S is equipped with the optional
tech package, you can program the
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver to operate up
to three garage doors, gates, lights, and
security systems that can transmit Radio
Frequency (RF) signals.
Programming HomeLink
1.Park in front of the device you want to
program, and have the device’s remote
control ready.
2.To u c h Controls > Settings > HomeLink on
the touchscreen.
3.To u c h Enter Name, then use the onscreen
keyboard to enter a name for your
HomeLink device.
4.To u c h Create HomeLink.
5.Follow the onscreen instructions.
Once programmed, you can operate the device
by touching its corresponding HomeLink icon
on the touchscreen’s status bar. HomeLink
remembers the location of your programmed
devices. When you approach a known location,
the HomeLink control on the touchscreen
automatically drops down. When you drive
away, it disappears.
NOTE: For security reasons, erase your
HomeLink settings if you sell Model S.
WARNING: Your device might open or
close during programming. Before
programming, make sure that the device
is clear of any people or objects.
WARNING: Do not use the HomeLink
Universal Transceiver with a garage door
that does not meet federal safety
standards. A garage door opener that
cannot detect an object in its path and
then automatically stop and reverse,
does not meet these standards. Using a
garage door opener without these
features increases the risk of injury or
death.
