Passenger Front Airbag Must Be OFF
WARNING: If seating a child on the front passenger seat is permissible in your market region, never seat a child on the
front passenger seat when the passenger front airbag is active. Always ensure this airbag is OFF (see Airbag Status
Indicator on page 53).
Refer to the following label fitted to the sun visors:
When an infant or child is seated in the front passenger seat (even when the child is seated in a suitable child restraint system
or booster seat), you must disable the passenger front airbag. If a collision occurs, the inflation of the airbag can cause serious
injury or death, especially when using a rear-facing child restraint system.
To disable the passenger front airbag, first ensure the vehicle is in Park. Then touch Controls > Safety > Passenger Front
Airbag (see Controlling the Passenger Front Airbag on page 53).
WARNING: When you disable the passenger front airbag, remember to subsequently enable it when an adult occupant is
seated in the front passenger seat.
The status of the passenger front airbag displays on the touchscreen. You can also touch this status icon to disable and enable
the passenger front airbag:
Before driving with a child seat on the front passenger seat, always double-check the status of the passenger
front airbag to confirm that it is OFF.
To protect an adult subsequently occupying the front passenger seat, remember to turn the passenger front
airbag back ON.
WARNING: It is the driver's responsibility to confirm that the passenger front airbag is OFF when a child is seated in the
front passenger seat.
WARNING: If the passenger front airbag is ON, even if you have turned it OFF (or vice versa), use the mobile app to
schedule a Service appointment immediately.
Suitability and Fitting of Child Restraint Systems
All Model Y seat belts are designed for adults. When seating infants and children, you must:
• Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child’s age, weight, or size (see Recommended Child Restraint Systems on
page 42).
•
Use a child restraint system that is appropriate for the specific seating position in Model Y. Each passenger seat supports a
broad range of options. For details on what type of child restraint system can be used in each passenger seat, see Front
Passenger Seat on page 44 and Rear Seats on page 45.
•
Properly install the child restraint system by following the manufacturer's instructions (see Installing Belt-based Child
Restraint Systems on page 46 and Installing ISOFIX/i-Size Child Restraint Systems on page 47 for general guidelines).
NOTE: When installing a child restraint system, you must also buckle the seat belt to silence the seat belt warning chime.
Recommended Child Restraint Systems
In the table below, Tesla provides recommended child restraint systems based a child's weight group (as defined in ECE R44
“Uniform Provisions Concerning Restraining Devices for Child Occupants"). Although all weight groups can occupy any
passenger seat in
Model Y, the type of child restraint system that can be used in each seat can vary. For example, only belt-
based child restraint systems (as defined in Two Installation Methods on page 46) can be used in the second row center
passenger seat.
