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 at the outboard seating
positions, run the strap over the outside-facing side of
the head support (same side of the head support as the
seat belt retraction mechanism).
For a single-strap tether in the center seating position,
fully lower the head support
(see Raising/Lowering the
Rear Center Head Support on page 27) and run the
strap over the top center of the head support.
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 dierent 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
3 detects a lightweight passenger, do not rely on
technology to protect your child.
WARNING:
Child restraint systems are designed
to be secured in vehicle seats by lap belts or the
lap belt portion of a lap-shoulder belt. Children
could be endangered in a crash if their child
restraints are not properly secured in the vehicle.
WARNING:
According to collision statistics,
children are safer when properly restrained in the
rear seating positions than in the front seating
positions.
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's spine and neck are not suciently
developed to avoid injury in a frontal impact.
