For information about cleaning seat belts, see
Seat Belts on page 202.
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 as described in
the Child Safety Seat topic. Always follow
the child safety seat manufacturer

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.
