A Model X equipped with monopost seats can
accommodate two or three passengers in the
second row, depending on the option chosen
at time of purchase. There are two ways to
adjust the position of these seats:

1.Move seat forward/backward (up/down
on the control) and adjust the backrest
(left/right on the control).
2. Move seat forward/backward.
3. Adjust backrest.
Note: The backrest locks into position when
you release the lever. If a backrest is not
locked into position when a driving gear is engaged, the instrument panel displays analert for the unlocked backrest. Adjust the
backrest again, ensuring it locks into position.Warning: Riding in a moving vehicle with
the seat back reclined can result in
serious injuries in a collision, as you could
slide under the lap belt or be propelled into the seat belt. Ensure the backs of
occupied seats are reclined no more than 30 degrees when the vehicle is moving.Adjusting Second Row Seat Backs
(Bench Seats)
If your Model X is equipped with two seating
rows, the second row bench seats can
accommodate up to three passengers. Use the
mechanical adjustment lever located at the side of each outboard seating position toadjust the seat backs. A bench seat is split
60/40 so the adjustment lever on the left side
moves the seat backs for both the left and
center seats, whereas the lever on the right
side moves the rightmost seat back only.
While pulling and holding the lever, move the
seat back to the desired position, and then
release the lever. When returning a seat back
to its upright position, try moving it forward or
back to ensure it is securely latched into
position.Warning: Riding in a moving vehicle with
the seat back reclined can result in
serious injuries in a collision, as you could
slide under the lap belt or be propelled into the seat belt. Ensure the backs of
occupied seats are reclined no more than 30 degrees when the vehicle is moving.

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
on page 33).
The seat belt reel automatically locks to prevent movement of occupants if Model X
experiences a force associated with hard acceleration, braking, cornering, or an impact
in a collision.
The seat belt reminder on the
instrument panel alerts you if a seat
belt for an occupied seat is not
fastened. If the belt remains unfastened, the reminder

Warning: Ensure that the seat belt is
positioned correctly and that the
shoulder anchor is locked into position
before driving. Riding in a moving vehicle
with the seat belt positioned incorrectly
or with the shoulder anchor not locked
into position can reduce the effectiveness
of the seat belt in a collision.
To Release a Belt
Hold the belt near the buckle to prevent the
belt from retracting too quickly, then press the
button on the buckle. The belt retracts
automatically. Ensure there is no obstruction
that prevents the belt from fully retracting.
The belt should not hang loose. If a seat belt does not fully retract, contact Tesla.
Wearing Seat Belts When Pregnant
Do not put the lap or shoulder sections of the seat belt over the abdominal area. Wear thelap section of the belt as low as possibleacross the hips, not the waist. Position the
shoulder portion of the belt between the
breasts and to the side of the abdomen. Consult your doctor for specific guidance.
Warning: Never place anything between
you and the seat belt to cushion the
impact in the event of a collision.Seat Belt Pre-tensioners

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 171.
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 on page 29). Always follow
the child safety seat manufacturer
