19Opening and Closing

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 Second Row Seat Backs
Model Y provides seating for up to three passengers in
the second row. The seat back is split 60/40 so adjusting the left seat back moves the seat backs for both the left and center seating positions, whereas
adjusting the right seat back moves only the rightmost seat back.
For vehicles with 5 seats:
Use the adjustment handles on the outside corner of each second row outboard seat back to adjust the corresponding seat back. 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.
For vehicles with 7 seats:
Use the adjustment handles on the side shield of each outboard seating position to adjust the corresponding second row seat backs. 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.
Folding Second Row Seat Backs
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 second row 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 to unlatch it, then pull it forward.
Front and Rear Seats

To relock the seats, first push the seat rearward. You will
hear the seat tracks lock. Then push the seat downward
to engage the rear latches onto the
floor strikes. You will
hear the latches lock. If the seat does not latch onto the
floor, the touchscreen displays a warning indicating that
the seat is not properly locked into position.
WARNING: Do not use the button when a child is
seated in a seat that will move. Using the button
moves the combined left and center seats forward
and can squeeze the occupant. Use this button
only when the second row seat is unoccupied.
Before driving, ensure the seat and the seat back
are securely latched into position.
WARNING: Do not use a second row seating
position when the seat is not securely latched into
position,
WARNING: After using the button to access the
third row, push the second row seat backs into
their upright position, ensuring that the seat backs
are securely latched and "clicked" into position by
trying to move them forward and rearward. Failure
to do so increases the risk of injury.
WARNING: Keep the area on the underside of the
second row seats free of debris to ensure reliable
locking of the floor latches.
WARNING: If an occupant is seated in the the third
row when pushing down on the second row seat to
engage the floor latches, ensure that the
occupant

To re-install the head support:
1.
With the front of the head support facing forward, insert both posts into the corresponding holes on the
seat back.
2.
Press downward on the head support until it clicks into place.
3.
Pull upward on the head support to ensure that it is secure.
WARNING: Ensure that the head support is
correctly installed before seating an occupant.
Failure to do so increases the risk of injury or
death if a collision occurs.
Seat Heaters
The front and second row seats contain heating pads
that operate at three levels from 3 (highest) to 1 (lowest).
To operate the seat heaters, see Climate
Controls on page 128.
WARNING: To avoid burns resulting from
prolonged use, individuals who have peripheral
neuropathy, or whose capacity to feel pain is
limited because of diabetes, age, neurological
injury, or some other condition, should exercise
caution when using the climate control system and
seat heaters.
Seat Covers
WARNING: Do not use seat covers in Model Y.
Doing so could restrict deployment of the seat-
mounted side air bags if a collision occurs. Also, if
the vehicle is equipped with an occupant detection
system that is used to determine the status of the
passenger front airbag, seat covers may interfere
with this system.

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) feature that, by fully extracting the seat
belt (beyond the length needed for a typical adult
occupant), locks the belt into place until the seat belt is
unbuckled.
The seat belt reel automatically locks to prevent
movement of occupants if
Model Y experiences a force
associated with hard acceleration, braking, cornering, or
an impact in a collision.
Seat Belt Reminders
The seat belt reminder on the touchscreen
alerts you if a seat belt for an occupied driver or passenger seat is unbuckled. If
the belt remains unbuckled, the reminder
flashes and an intermittent chime sounds.
If all occupants are buckled up and the
reminder stays on, re-buckle seat belts to
ensure they are correctly latched. Also
remove any heavy objects (such as a
briefcase) from an unoccupied seat. If the
reminder light continues to stay on,
contact Tesla.
You can temporarily mute a seat belt reminder
associated with a rear seating position. This is useful in situations when you are carrying an object in a rear seat
that triggers the seat belt reminder alert. To mute the reminder, touch the associated seat on the seat belt reminder card that displays on the touchscreen when a seat belt reminder alert is active. When a reminder is muted, the seat belt reminder icon is replaced by a seat icon. Touch the seat again to unmute the reminder. The reminder is disabled for the current drive only.
WARNING: Seat belts must be worn by passengers
in all seating positions. Do not disable a seat belt
reminder when the seating position is occupied by
a passenger.
To Fasten a Belt
1.
Ensure correct positioning of the seat (see Correct
Driving Position on page 23).
2. Draw the belt out smoothly, ensuring the belt lays flat
across the pelvis, chest and mid-point of your collar
bone, between the neck and shoulder.
3.
Insert the latch plate into the buckle and press together until you hear a click indicating it is locked
in place.
4.
Pull the belt to check that it is securely fastened.
5.
Pull the diagonal part of the belt toward the reel to
remove excess slack.
To Adjust the Shoulder Anchor
Height
Model Y is equipped with an adjustable shoulder anchor
for each front seat to ensure that the seat belt is positioned correctly. The seat belt should lay
flat across
the mid-point of your collar bone while in the correct driving position
(see Correct Driving Position on page
23. Adjust the height of the shoulder anchor if the seat
belt is not positioned correctly:
1.
Press and hold the button on the shoulder anchor to release the locking mechanism.
2.
While holding the button, move the shoulder anchor up or down as necessary so that the seat belt is
positioned correctly.
3.
Release the button on the shoulder anchor so that it
locks into position.

2. With the belt unfastened, unreel the webbing to its limit. Check that unreeling is free from snags, and
visually check the webbing for wear. Allow the webbing to retract, checking that retraction is
smooth and complete.3.
With the webbing half unreeled, hold the 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 173.
Seat Belt Warnings
WARNING: 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

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.
To install a LATCH child safety seat, slide the safety seat
latches onto the anchor bars until they click into place. Carefully read and follow the instructions provided by
the child safety seat manufacturer.
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 restraint is more than
65 lbs (29.5
kg). In these situations, use the safety belt instead.
NOTE: If Model Y is equipped with seven seats, the third
row seating positions are not equipped with
LATCH
anchors. Use only seat belt retained child safety seats in a third row seating position.
Once installed, test the security of the installation 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.
Attaching Upper Tether Straps
If an upper tether strap is provided, attach its hook to the anchor point located behind the seat.
NOTE: The location of anchor points may not be readily
visible but can be found by identifying a slice in the seat

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 Y
detects a lightweight passenger, do not rely on
technology to protect your child.
WARNING: Seat belt retained child safety seats are
designed to be secured in the vehicle using lap
seat belts or the lap belt portion of a lap-shoulder
seat belt. Children could be endangered in a crash
if their child safety seat is not properly secured.
WARNING: According to collision statistics,
children are safer when properly restrained in the
second row seating positions 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
