Child Safety Seats - Tesla MODEL S 2012 Owner's Manual

Guidelines for Seating Children
Your Model S seat belts are designed for adults and larger children. You must restrain infants and small children in
the rear seats only, and you must use a suitable child safety seat appropriate for the child's age, weight, and size.
Never use child safety seats in the front row passenger seat.
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.
Refer to the following label located on the sun visors.
NOTE: The image shown below is representative only and may not be identical to the label in your vehicle.
Model S has an occupancy sensor in the front passenger seat that controls the status of the passenger front airbag
(see Airbags on page 33).
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, always double-check the
passenger front airbag to confirm that it is ON.
