NOTE: To accommodate large rear-facing ISOFIX/i-Size child restraint systems (size class C), you may need to move the
corresponding front seat forward to the mid-track position (up to 13 cm forward of the rearmost position), raise the seat
upward (2 cm from its lowest position), and angle the seat back as needed.
Infants can occupy the rear center seat using a rear-facing belt-based child restraint system. Children can occupy the rear
center seat using either a rear-facing or a forward-facing belt-based child restraint system.
NOTE: The rear center seat is not equipped with lower anchor bars to support the installation of ISOFIX/i-Size child restraint
systems.
Larger children can also occupy a rear center seat using a booster seat, installed as described in the instructions provided by
the manufacturer of the child restraint system.
NOTE: Before installing a child restraint system, ensure the seat's corresponding back rest is adjusted to the most upright
position.
NOTE: If the vehicle headrest prevents the child restraint system from touching the seat's back or side bolsters, temporarily
remove the headrest for a better fit. Reinstall the headrest once the child restraint system is no longer in use.
WARNING: Do not use Easy Entry (see Driver Profiles on page 89) to automatically move the driver's seat to the full
rearward position if a child safety seat is installed on the second row seat located behind the driver's seat. With reduced
clearance, the movement of the seat may impact a child's legs, cause injury, or dislodge the seat.
Two Installation Methods
NOTE: Always install child restraint systems by following the
instructions provided by the manufacturer of the child
restraint system.
Among many other variants, there are two general types of
child restraint systems based on how they are secured in the
seat:
• Belt-based - secured using the vehicle’s seat belts (see
Installing Belt-based Child Restraint Systems on page
46).
•
ISOFIX/i-Size - secured to anchor bars built into the
vehicle's seats (see
Installing ISOFIX/i-Size Child
Restraint Systems on page 47).
Some child restraint systems can be installed using either
method. Refer to the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the child restraint system to determine
which installation method to use and for detailed installation
instructions.
In Model Y, belt-based child restraints can be installed in any
passenger seat and ISOFIX/i-Size systems can be installed in
either of the second row outboard seats. Specific details
about the type of child restraint system that can be used in
each seat is provided next.
NOTE: ISOFIX and i-Size are international standards for
integrated anchors used in passenger vehicles to attach child
safety seats.
WARNING: Do not use ISOFIX/i-Size anchors with
child restraint system or booster seats that have an
integral safety belt where the combined weight of the
child plus the child restraint system exceeds 33 kg.
Installing Belt-based Child Restraint
Systems
Always follow the detailed instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the child restraint system. Follow these
general guidelines for belt-based child restraint systems:
•
Ensure that the child restraint system is appropriate for
the weight, height, and age of the child.
• Avoid dressing the child in bulky clothing.
• Do not place any objects between the child and the child
restraint system.
•
Adjust the child restraint system's harnesses for every
child, every trip.
1.
Place the child restraint system in the appropriate seat
and fully extend the seat belt. Route and buckle the seat
belt in accordance with the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the child restraint system.
