Guidelines for Seating Children
Your Model X seat belts are designed for adults and larger children. You must restrain infants
and small children in rear seats only, and you must use a suitable child safety seat appropriate
for the child’s age, weight, and size.
Never use child safety seats in the front passenger seat.
WARNING: Never seat a child in the front 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.
WARNING: For vehicles with third row seats, when a child is seated in a second row
monopost seat, the setting for the button that moves a second row outboard seat
forward for easy access into the third row should be OFF (touch Controls > Safety >
Third Row Easy Entry). This ensures that you need to manually hold the button to move
the seat, preventing a child seated in the second row from being pushed against the
corresponding front seat. See Adjusting Second Row Seats (Monopost) on page 34.
Refer to the following label located on the sun visors.
NOTE: The image(s) shown below are representative only and may not be identical to the labels
in your vehicle.
Model X has an occupancy sensor in the front passenger seat that controls the passenger front
airbag (see
Airbags on page 49).
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 X 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 second row 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 X to recognize or accommodate a child seated in the second row seats
while using this setting (see Driver Profiles on page 55).
