Tesla MODEL S 2012 Owner's Manual page 33

Before seating a child, ensure that the child restraint
system is securely installed. Grasp the front of the child
restraint system with one hand on each side, and
attempt to:
• Twist the child restraint system from side to side.
• Pull the child restraint system away from the seat.
If the child restraint system moves away from the seat,
both latches are not fully engaged onto the seat's
anchor bars. You must reinstall it and try again. It is
critical that both latches on the child restraint system
are fully engaged.
NOTE: Do not use LATCH anchors with child seats or
booster seats that have an integrated safety belt where
the combined weight of the child plus the child restraint
system exceeds 65 lbs (29.5 kg).
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.
NOTE: The location of anchor points may not be readily
visible but can be found by identifying a slice in the
seat's material.
WARNING: Tighten upper tether straps according
to the instructions provided by the manufacturer
of the child safety seat.
WARNING: USE ONLY SEAT BELT RETAINED
CHILD SAFETY SEATS IN THE CENTER SEATING
POSITION.
For dual-strap tethers, position a strap on each side of
the head support.
Seating and Safety Restraints
Child Safety Seats
Always position single-strap tethers to run over the top
of the head support.
NOTE: To prevent the single-strap tether from moving
side to side, the top of the head support deforms.
