Child Safety Seats
Guidelines for Seating Children
Your Model Y seat belts are designed for adults and larger children. You must restrain infants and
small children in the second row seats only, and you must use a suitable child safety seat
appropriate for the child’s age, weight, and size.
Warning: Never seat a child on a rear facing child seat with an ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it.
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the child can occur. See Passenger Front Airbag Status on
page 44.
Warning: Never seat a child on a seat with an ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it. DEATH or
SERIOUS INJURY to the child can occur.
Warning: Always ensure that all Model Y seats are locked in position before traveling. Failure
to do so increases the risk of injury. Pay attention to all warnings displayed on the
touchscreen.
Warning: Do not associate the Easy Entry setting with the driver's profile when a child is
seated in the second row. Doing so can cause the driver's seat to push against the child,
especially when a child is seated in a forward-facing child seat or booster seat. Do not rely on
Model Y to recognize or accommodate a child seated in the second row while using this
setting (see Driver Profiles on page 49).
Refer to the following label fitted to the sun visors.
Note: The image shown below is representative only and may not be identical to the label(s) in
your vehicle.
Model Y has an occupancy sensor in the front passenger seat that controls the status of the
passenger front airbag (see Airbags on page 42).
When 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, check to
verify that the passenger front airbag is ON.
