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 reclined no more than 30
degrees.
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 10 inches (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.
Adjusting the Driver’s Seat
1. Adjust lumbar support.
Note: If your Model S is equipped with
adjustable head supports, this button is
also used to moved the head support up
or down (see Head Supports/Restraints
on page 19). When you touch this
button, the touchscreen displays a popup
with an image of the seat. If the lumbar
area on the image is not highlighted in
blue, touch the lumbar area on the image
to specify that you want to adjust lumbar
support. The selection you choose is
retained until you manually change it.
2. Adjust backrest.
3. Move seat forward/backward.
4. Adjust the seat’s height and tilt angle.
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.
