WARNING: Riding in a moving vehicle
with the seat back reclined can result
in serious injuries in a collision, as you
could slide under the lap belt or be
propelled into the seat belt. Ensure
your seat back is reclined no more
than 30 degrees when the vehicle is
moving.
Adjusting Second Row Seat
Backs
Model Y provides seating for up to three
passengers in the second row. The seat back
is split 60/40 so adjusting the left seat back
moves the seat backs for both the left and
center seating positions, whereas adjusting
the right seat back moves only the rightmost
seat back.
Use the adjustment handles on the outside
corner of each second row outboard seat
back to adjust the corresponding seat back.
While pulling and holding the handle, move
the seat back to the desired position, and
then release the handle. Ensure the seat back
is securely latched into position by pushing it
forward and rearward.
Folding Second Row Seat
Backs
To maximize cargo space, each second row
seat back can be folded fully forward to lay
flat. While pulling and holding the handle,
push the corresponding seat back fully
forward.
NOTE: Before folding seats fully forward,
remove any items from the seats and the rear
footwell. To allow the seat backs to fold
completely
flat, you may need to move the
front seats forward.
NOTE: Driving with second row seats folded
forward may increase perceivable noise
and/or vibration coming from the rear of the
vehicle (trunk, suspension, etc.).
To allow you to carry long items (such as skis)
in the rear of Model Y, the center seat back
can also be independently folded forward.
Pull the handle on the rear of the seat back to
unlatch it, then pull it forward.
