Tesla MODEL Y 2025+ - Seating and Safety Restraints; Front and Rear Seats

Adjusting the Front Seats
1. Move seat forward/backward and adjust the seat’s height
and tilt angle up/down.
2. Adjust backrest.
3. Adjust lumbar support (driver's seat).
To adjust the front passenger seat using the touchscreen,
touch Controls > Seats and use the arrows next to the front
passenger seat visualization to move the seat forward or
backward.
CAUTION: Do not move a front seat's backrest fully
forward when the seat is also in the fully forward
position. Doing so can cause the top of the seat to hit,
and potentially damage, the sun visor.
WARNING: Before adjusting a front seat, check that the
area around the seat is free of obstacles (people and
objects).
WARNING: Do not adjust seats while driving. Doing so
increases the risk of a collision.
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.
Calibrating Seats
You can calibrate the driver seat. This is useful if you find
your seat range limited or your driver profile does not
automatically adjust the seat for you. Navigate to
Controls >
Service > Driver Seat, Steering & Mirrors Calibration and
follow the instructions on the touchscreen.
WARNING:
Ensure nothing is behind or underneath the
driver seat during calibration. Failure to do so may
cause serious injury.
Correct Driving Position
The seat, head support, seat belt, and airbags work together
to maximize your safety. Using these correctly ensures
greater protection.
Position the seat so you can wear the seat belt correctly,
while being as far away from the front airbag as possible:
1. Sit upright with both feet on the floor and the seat back in
an upright position.
2. Make sure you can easily reach the pedals and that your
arms are slightly bent when holding the steering wheel.
Your chest should be at least 25 cm from the center of the
airbag cover.
3.
Place the shoulder section of the seat belt mid-way
between your neck and your shoulder. Fit the lap section
of the belt tightly across your hips, not across your
stomach.
Model Y seats include integrated head supports in the front
that cannot be adjusted or removed.
Reclining and Folding Second Row
Seats
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 moves both the left and center seats, whereas adjusting
the right seat moves only the right seat.
Adjust the second row seats by using any of the following
methods.
