charge port door.
Once inside, power up Model Y by pressing the brake
pedal within two minutes of pressing the unlock button
on the key fob (see
Starting and Powering Off on page
49). If you wait longer than two minutes, you must
press the unlock button again, or place the key fob near
the card reader located behind the cup holders on the center console. When your key fob is detected, the two
minute authentication period restarts.
When approaching or leaving Model Y carrying the key
fob, you do not need to point the key fob at
Model Y as
you press a button, but you must be within operating range.
Radio equipment on a similar frequency can affect the
key. If this happens, move the key at least
one foot
(30 cm) away from other electronic devices (phone,
laptop, etc.).
If the key fob does not work (for example, its battery is dead), you can touch its
flat side against the card
reader on the driver

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 your seat
back is reclined no more than 30 degrees when
the vehicle is moving.
Adjusting and Folding Second Row
Seats
Model Y provides seating for up to three passengers in
the second row. Use the adjustment handles on the
outside corner of each outboard seating position to adjust the corresponding seat backs. The seat back is
split 60/40 so the adjustment handle on the left side moves the seat backs for both the left and center seating positions, whereas the handle on the right side
moves the rightmost seat back only. While pulling and holding the handle, move the seat back to the desired position, and then release the handle. Ensure the seat
back is securely latched into position by pushing it
forward and rearward.
To maximize cargo space, each second row seat back can be folded fully forward to lay
flat. While pulling and
holding the handle, push the corresponding seat back fully forward.
NOTE: Before folding seats fully forward, remove any
items from the seats and the rear footwell. To allow the
seat backs to fold completely
flat, you may need to
move the front seats forward.
NOTE: Driving with the rear seats folded forward may
increase perceivable noise and/or vibration coming
from the rear of the vehicle (trunk, suspension, etc.).
To allow you to carry long items (such as skis) in the rear of
Model Y, the center seat back can also be
independently folded forward. Pull the handle on the rear of the seat back. The seat back unlatches and can be pushed forward.

You can also fold the second row seat backs fully
forward by pressing the corresponding switch located on the left side of the rear trunk area. Pressing the switch causes the seat back to swing forward. You can then push it downward so it lays fully
flat.
Raising Rear Seats
Before raising a rear seat, make sure that the seat belts are not trapped behind the backrest.
Pull the seat back upward until it locks into place.
To confirm that the seat back is locked in the upright
position, try pulling it forward.
WARNING: Always ensure the seat backs are
locked in their upright position by pushing it
forward or rearward. Failure to do so increases the
risk of injury.
Head Supports
The front seats include integrated head supports that are not adjustable.
The rear seats include an adjustable head support that
can be raised, lowered, or removed. The head support
should always be raised and locked into position (so that the center is aligned with the center of the ears) when occupied by a passenger that is not in a child safety seat.WARNING: The head support in the rear center
seat must be lowered when a seat belt retained
child safety seat is installed in that seating
position. See Raising/Lowering the Rear Center
Head Support on page 27.
WARNING: Ensure that all head supports are
positioned correctly before sitting in, or operating,
Model Y to minimize the risk of severe injury or
death in the event of a collision.
