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-shoulder belt. 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 a
rear seating position than in the front passenger
seat.
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

WARNING: To ensure children are safely seated,
follow all instructions provided in this document
and by the manufacturer of the child safety seat.
WARNING: Children should ride in a rear-facing
child safety seat using the seat

NOTE: It takes approximately six seconds after you power on Model X for the occupant classification system (OCS)
to report accurate status of the front passenger airbag. As a result, when you
first power on Model X, even in
situations when it should be OFF because the seat is occupied by a weight of
20 lbs (9 kg) or less, it will take the
touchscreen approximately six seconds to display the status, PASS AIRBAG OFF. If it fails to do so, contact Tesla Service and do not seat a child in the front passenger seating position.
To make sure the sensing system can correctly detect occupancy status, eliminate the following:

WARNING: Do not use a rear-facing child restraint
system on a seat with an operational airbag in
front of it. Doing so can cause injury or death if the
airbag inflates.
WARNING: To ensure correct inflation of the side
airbags, maintain an unobstructed gap between an
occupant
