Passenger Front Airbag Must Be OFF
WARNING: If seating a child on the front passenger seat is permissable in your market
region, never seat a child on the front passenger seat when the passenger front airbag is
active. Always ensure this airbag is OFF (see Passenger Front Airbag Status on page
54).
Refer to the following label fitted to the sun visors:
When an infant or child is seated in the front passenger seat (even when the child is seated in a
suitable child restraint system or booster seat), you must disable the passenger front airbag. If a
collision occurs, the
inflation of the airbag can cause serious injury or death, especially when
using a rear-facing child restraint system.
To disable the passenger front airbag, touch Controls > Safety & Security > Passenger Front
Airbag (see Controlling the Passenger Front Airbag on page 54).
WARNING: When you disable the passenger front airbag, remember to subsequently
enable it when an adult occupant is seated in the front passenger seat.
The status of the passenger front airbag displays in the top corner of the touchscreen. You can
also touch this status icon to disable and enable the passenger front airbag:
Before driving with a child seat on the front passenger seat, always
double-check the status of the passenger front airbag to confirm that it is
OFF.
To protect an adult subsequently occupying the front passenger seat,
remember to turn the passenger front airbag back ON.
WARNING:
It is the driver's responsibility to confirm that the passenger front airbag is
OFF when a child is seated in the front passenger seat.
WARNING:
If the passenger front airbag is ON, even if you have turned it OFF (or vice
versa), contact Tesla immediately.
