Front and Rear Seats
Adjusting Second Row Seat Backs
(Bench Seats)
If your Model X is equipped with two seating rows, the
second row bench seats can accommodate up to three
passengers. Use the mechanical adjustment lever
located at the side of each outboard seating position to
adjust the seat backs. A bench seat is split 60/40 so the
adjustment lever on the left side moves the seat backs
for both the left and center seats, whereas the lever on
the right side moves the rightmost seat back only. While
pulling and holding the lever, move the seat back to the
desired position, and then release the lever. When
returning a seat back to its upright position, try moving
it forward or back to ensure it is securely latched into
position.
WARNING: Riding in a moving vehicle with the
seat back reclined can result in serious injuries in a
collision, as you could slide under the lap belt or
be propelled into the seat belt. Ensure the backs of
occupied seats are reclined no more than 30
degrees when the vehicle is moving.
Folding Second Row Seat Backs
(Bench Seats)
The second row seat backs on bench seats can be
folded fully forward so they lay flat and maximize cargo
space. Pull up the mechanical lever located on the side
of each outboard seat (the same lever you use to recline
the seats, as described above), then push the seat back
fully forward. The bench seats have a 60/40 split—
therefore, the adjustment lever on the left side folds the
seat backs for both the left and center seats, whereas
the lever on the right folds the rightmost seat back only.
NOTE: Before folding seats fully forward, remove any
items from the seats and the rear footwell. To allow the
seat backs to fold completely flat, you may need to
move the front seats forward.

Moving Second Row Bench Seats
NOTE: Only bench seats in seven-seat vehicles can be
moved forward and rearward. The bench seats in five-
seat vehicles are stationary.
Use the mechanical lever located beneath each
outboard seating position to move the second row seats
forward or rearward. The bench seats have a 60/40 split
—therefore, the lever on the left side moves the seat for
the left and center seats, whereas the lever on the right
side moves only the rightmost seat. Pull and hold the
lever while moving the seat forward or rearward. Release
the lever when the seat is at the desired location.
NOTE: You can adjust the position of bench seats using
the mechanical levers only. You cannot use the
touchscreen to adjust bench seats.
Accessing Third Row Seats (if
equipped) - Monopost Seating
A button is located on the backrest of each outboard
monopost seat in the second row. This button makes it
easy for passengers to enter and exit the third row
seating positions. Touch Controls > Seats > Easy Entry
and choose how you want this button to work:
• ON - Allows you to tilt and move the associated
outboard seat fully forward, and the center seat
partially forward, with a single-press of the button.
• OFF - When off, which is recommended if a child seat
is installed in the second row, you must hold the
button to move the second row seats forward.
After using the third row ingress button to access third
row seats, simply press the button again to return the
seats to their normal position.
