Guidelines for Seating Children
Your Model S seat belts are designed for adults and larger children. You must restrain infants and small children in
the rear seats only, and you must use a suitable child safety seat appropriate for the child’s age, weight, and size.
WARNING: Never seat a child in the front row passenger seat, even if using a child safety seat.
WARNING: Never seat a child on a seat with an ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it. DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to
the child can occur.
Refer to the following label located on the sun visors.
NOTE: The image shown below is representative only and may not be identical to the label in your vehicle.
Model S has an occupancy sensor in the front passenger seat that controls the status of the passenger front airbag
(see Airbags on page 38).
The Passenger Airbag
O indicator displays on the touchscreen when the passenger front airbag is
OFF. When the passenger front airbag is OFF, it does not inflate when a collision occurs. This
indicator does not display when the seat is unoccupied.
To protect an adult occupying the front passenger seat, always double-check the passenger front
airbag to
confirm that it is ON.
WARNING:
Always ensure that all Model S seats are locked in position before traveling. Failure to do so
increases the risk of injury. Pay attention to all warnings displayed on the touchscreen.
WARNING:
Do not associate the Easy Entry setting with the driver's profile when a child is seated in a rear
seat. Doing so can cause the driver's seat to push against the child, especially when a child is seated in a
forward-facing child seat or booster seat. Do not rely on Model S to recognize or accommodate a child seated
in the rear seats while using this setting (see Driver Profiles on page 44).
