• Twist the child restraint system from side
to side.
• Pull the child restraint system away from
the seat.
If the child restraint system rotates or moves
away from the seat, both latches are not fully
engaged onto the seat's anchor bars. You
must reinstall it and try again. It is critical that
both latches on the child restraint system are
fully engaged.
Warning: Do not use Isofix/i-Size anchors
with child restraint system or booster
seats that have an integral safety belt
where the combined weight of the child
plus the child restraint system exceeds 33
kg.
Safety Leg
All passenger seats in Model 3 support the use
of a child restraint system with a safety leg. If
the child restraint system is equipped with a
leg, extend the leg as described in the
instructions provided by the manufacturer of
the child restraint system.
Attaching Upper Tether Straps
Model 3's rear seats support the use of upper
tether straps. When the instructions provided
by the manufacturer of the child restraint
system include attaching an upper tether
strap, attach its hook to the anchor point
located behind the associated seat.
Note: Tighten upper tether straps according to
the instructions provided by the manufacturer
of the child restraint system.
The anchor points for tether straps are located
on the shelf behind the rear seats.
To access an anchor point, press down on the
back of its cover.
For dual-strap tethers, position a strap on
each side of the head support.
For single-strap tethers on the outboard seats,
run the strap over the outside-facing side of
the head support—in other words, the same
side of the head support as the seat belt
retraction mechanism.
