MONOPOST SEATS:
In the second row, install LATCH child safety
seats in the outboard seating positions only.
Use only a seat belt retained seat in the center position.
Note: If Model X is equipped with two seats in
the second row, both seats support the use of
LATCH child safety seats.
Note: Second row outboard seats support the
use of upper tether straps (see Attaching
Upper Tether Straps on page 42).
Warning:
Before driving after installing a
child seat in the second row, ensure that a
"seat unlocked" warning does NOT display on the touchscreen or instrument
panel. This warning indicates that the seat
is unsafe for an occupant because it was
not returned to its safe, locked position. If
the touchscreen or instrument panel displays the warning message, move the
seat or backrest slightly forward or
backward until it locks firmly into position
and the message no longer displays.

Note: To accommodate large rear-facing
LATCH child safety seats, you may need to
move the seat in the full rearward position,
and move the corresponding front seat
forward to the mid-track position (up to 13 cm forward of the rearmost position), raise theseat upward (3 cm from its lowest position),
and angle the seat back to 15 degrees (or 10
degrees rearward from its forward-most position).
Warning: Do not associate the Easy Entry
setting with the driver

Once installed, test the security of theinstallation before seating a child. Attempt to twist the child safety seat from side to side
and try to pull it away from the seat, then
check to ensure the anchors remain securely
in place.
Note: Lower LATCH anchors should not be
used with child seats or booster seats that
have an integrated safety belt in situations
where the combined weight of the child plus
the child safety seat is more than 65 lbs (29.5
kg). In these situations, use the seat belt
instead.
Attaching Upper Tether Straps If an upper tether strap is provided, attach its
hook to the anchor point located on the back
of the second and third row (if equipped) seats.
Note: The location of anchor points may not
be readily visible but can be found by
identifying a slice in the seat

Dual Straps - Second Row Bench Seats:
Dual Straps - Third Row Seats:
For single-strap tethers, position the strap in
the outboard seating positions over the outside-facing side of the head restraint (the
same side of the head restraint as the seat belt
retraction mechanism). In the center seating
position (if equipped), center and position the
strap over the top of the head restraint.

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 one inch
(2.5 cm), it is too loose. Tighten the belt or
reconnect the LATCH retained child safety
seat.
3. If you are unable to reduce slack, try a
different seat location or try another child
safety seat.
Child Safety Seat Warnings
Warning: Extreme hazard! Do not seat a
child on the front passenger seat even if
you are using a child safety seat. This seat
has an airbag in front of it. Although this airbag is disabled when Model X detects
a lightweight passenger, do not rely on technology to protect your child.Warning: Child safety seats are designed
to be secured in vehicle seats by lap belts or the lap belt portion of a lap-shoulderbelt. A child could be endangered in a
crash if a child safety seat is not properly
secured in the vehicle.Warning: According to collision statistics,
children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seating positions
than in the front seating positions.Warning: Do not use a forward facing
child safety seat until your child weighs
over 20 lbs (9 kg) and can sit
independently. Up to the age of two, a
child

Note: The front passenger occupancy sensor affects the operation of the passenger front airbags
only. The side airbags are not affected.Warning: If the front passenger airbag is not turning on or off as expected based on the
weight thresholds previously described, contact Tesla immediately.Warning: Never seat a child in a rear facing child seat on the front passenger seat, even if the
passenger airbag is off. All occupants age 12 and under must ride in the second and rear row
(if equipped) seats.Warning: To ensure accuracy of the occupant detection system, do not make any
modifications to the front passenger seat.Warning: Do not use seat covers on Model X. Doing so could restrict deployment of the seat-
mounted side air bags if a collision occurs. It can also reduce the accuracy of the occupant
detection system, if equipped.
