Attaching Upper Tether Straps - Tesla S Owner's Manual

To install a ISOFIX retained child safety seat,
slide the safety seat latches onto the anchor
bars until they click into place. Carefully read
and follow the instructions provided by the
child safety seat manufacturer.
Once installed, test the security of the
installation before seating a child. Attempt to
twist the child safety seat from side to side
and try to pull it away from the seat, then
check that the anchors are still securely in
place.

Attaching Upper Tether Straps

If an upper tether strap is provided, attach its
hook to the anchor point located on the back
of the rear seats. Always position the strap so
that it runs over the center of the Model S
head support, except in cases where you are
installing a ISOFIX retained child safety seat in
the center position—in this case, run the strap
over the left hand side of the head support, as
shown. Tighten according to the child safety
seat manufacturer's instructions.
Note: To prevent the strap from moving from
side to side, the top of the head support
deforms.
Testing a Child Safety Seat
Before seating a child, always make sure the
child safety seat is not loose:
1. Hold the child safety seat by the belt path
and try to slide the safety seat from side
to side and front to back.
2. If the seat moves more than 2.5 cm, it is
too loose. Tighten the belt or reconnect
the ISOFIX retained child safety seat.
3. If you are unable to reduce slack, try a
different seat location or try another child
safety seat.
