Seating a Child
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: Whenever a child is seated in the Tesla
built-in rear facing child seats, it is
recommended that you set the climate control
system to draw outside air into Model S
instead of recirculating the air. This draws
more air into the rear seating areas. See
Customizing Climate Control.
1. Position the child in the seat with arms
through the loops of the seat belts.
2. Connect the two halves of the seat belt
tongue.

4. Adjust the shoulder belts so they run over
the top of the shoulders and away from
the face.

the lower straps sit low on the pelvis. The
pelvis must be held firmly in place.
6. Pull the lower straps until the child is
securely held in the seat.
7. Slide the shoulder clips to ensure the
upper portion of the belts remain
positioned over the shoulders.
To release, press the button on the buckle,

restraint.
