Airbag Warning Indicator
The airbag indicator on the touchscreen
remains lit if the airbag system is
malfunctioning. The only time this indicator
should light up is briefly when Model X first
powers up, in which case it turns off within
a few seconds. If it remains lit, contact
Tesla immediately and do not drive.
Airbag Warnings
WARNING: All occupants, including the driver,
should always wear their seat belts, whether or not
an airbag is also provided at their seating position,
to minimize the risk of severe injury or death in the
event of a collision.
WARNING: Front seat occupants should not place
their arms over the airbag module, as an inflating
airbag can cause fractures or other injuries.
WARNING: Do not use seat covers on Model X.
Doing so could restrict deployment of the seat-
mounted side air bags if a collision occurs. It can
also reduce the accuracy of the occupant
detection system, if equipped.
WARNING: Airbags inflate with considerable
speed and force, which can cause injury. To limit
injuries, ensure that occupants are wearing seat
belts and are correctly seated, with the seat
positioned as far back as possible.
WARNING: Children should not be seated on the
front passenger seat. Follow all regulations in your
region for the appropriate way to seat a child
based on the child's weight, size, and age. The
safest place to seat infants and young children is in
a rear seating position. Seating an infant or child
on a seat equipped with an operational front
airbag can cause serious injury or death.
WARNING: Do not use a rear-facing child safety
seat on a seat with an operational airbag in front
of it. Doing so can cause injury or death if the
airbag inflates.
WARNING: To ensure correct inflation of the side
airbags, maintain an unobstructed gap between an
occupant's torso and the side of Model X.
WARNING: Passengers shouldn't lean their heads
against doors. Doing so can cause injury if a
curtain airbag inflates.
WARNING: Do not allow passengers to obstruct
the operation of an airbag by placing feet, knees
or any other part of the body on or near an airbag.
WARNING: Do not attach or place objects on or
near the front airbags, the side of the front seats,
the headliner at the side of the vehicle, or any
other airbag cover that could interfere with
inflation of an airbag. Objects can cause serious
injury if the vehicle is in a collision severe enough
to cause the airbag to inflate.

WARNING: Following inflation, some airbag
components are hot. Do not touch until they have
cooled.
