To protect an adult occupying the front passenger seat, ensure the
passenger front airbag is ON. When the passenger front airbag is ON, it
may inflate when a collision occurs.
WARNING: If seating a child in the front passenger seat is legally permissible in your
market region, it is the driver's responsibility to ensure that the passenger front airbag is
OFF. Never seat a child in the front passenger seat with an active airbag, even if using a
child safety seat or booster seat. DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the child can occur.
Controlling the Passenger Front Airbag
When a child is seated in the front passenger seat (even when the child is seated in a child
safety seat or booster seat), you must disable the passenger front airbag to prevent it from
injuring the child if a collision occurs. Touch Controls > Safety > Passenger Front Airbag, and
before driving, ensure the passenger airbag status on the top of the touchscreen indicates that
the airbag is
o (see Passenger Front Airbag Status on page 47).
NOTE: Model Y has a capacitive touchscreen and may not respond to your touch if you are
wearing standard gloves. If the touchscreen is not responding, remove gloves or wear gloves
with conductive fingertips for use with capacitive touchscreens.
WARNING: If seating a child in the front passenger seat is legally permissible in your
market region, never seat a child in a child safety seat or a booster seat on the front
passenger seat when the airbag is active. Doing so can cause serious injury or death.
WARNING: If the passenger front airbag does not appear to be functioning (for example,
if the airbag is on, even if you have turned it o, or vice versa), do not seat a passenger
in the front seat. Contact Tesla immediately.
