Tesla Built In Rear Facing Child Seats

Usage Restrictions

Tesla Built In Rear Facing Child Seats

The Tesla built in rear facing child seats are
child restraint systems and are approved to
United Nations ECE Regulation R44.04
standards for use by children in Mass Groups II
and III, weighing 15 - 36 kg. These seats must
only be used for children who are between 3
and 12 years old, and 98 - 135 cm tall.
Always ensure the top of the child's head
cannot contact the vehicle and that the child is
seated comfortably with the seat belts
positioned and latched correctly. The child's
pelvis must be held securely in place by the lap
belt. Follow all instructions provided and do
not use supplemental child safety seats in
these seats.
NOTE: To draw more air into the rear seating
areas, it is recommended that whenever a child
is seated in the Tesla built in rear facing child
seats, you set the climate control system to
draw outside air into Model S, instead of
recirculating the air. See page 5.9.
