the falcon wing doors (and trunk) to a lower
height, even if no obstacle is detected. If you
override this height on the touchscreen, Model
X remembers your choice from your location.

Warning: Always ensure the seat backs
are locked in their upright position.
Failure to do so increases the risk of injury.

Testing Seat Belts
To
confirm that seat belts are operating
correctly, perform these three simple checks on each seat belt.
1. With the seat belt fastened, give the webbing nearest the buckle a quick pull.
The buckle should remain securely locked.
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.
Seat Belt Warnings
Warning: 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 an accident occurs.Warning: Secure small children in a
suitable child safety seat. Always follow
the child safety seat manufacturer

Testing a Child Safety Seat
Before seating a child, always make sure the
child safety seat is not loose:
1. Hold the child safety seat by the belt path and try to slide the safety seat from side
to side and front to back.
2. If the seat moves more than 2.5 cm, it is too loose. Tighten the belt or reconnect
the ISOFIX retained child safety seat.
3. If you are unable to reduce slack, try a
different seat location or try another child
safety seat.

active airbag. Doing so can cause serious
injury or death. Refer to the warning label
located on the passenger side sun visor.Warning: 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 restraints are not properly secured in the
