Page 34 Do not disassemble, remove, or replace components. If a seat belt fails any of these tests, contact Tesla immediately. For information about cleaning seat belts, see Seat Belts on page 183.
Page 35: Child Safety Seats
Guidelines for Seating Children Your Model Y seat belts are designed for adults and larger children. You must restrain infants and small children in a rear seating position only, and you must use a suitable child safety seat appropriate for the child’s age, weight, and size.
Page 36 It is the driver’s responsibility to keep up to date on, and comply with, all current regulations in the region(s) where Model Y is driven. To check the child passenger safety laws for states in the U.S., go to: http:// www.ghsa.org/html/stateinfo/laws/childsafety_laws.html.
Page 37 Child Safety Seats Seating Larger Children 1. Place the child safety seat in Model Y, and fully extend the seat belt. Route and buckle the seat belt in accordance with the child safety seat If a child is too large to fit into a child safety seat, but manufacturer’s instructions.
Page 38 WARNING: USE ONLY SEAT BELT RETAINED CHILD SAFETY SEATS IN THE CENTER SEATING POSITION. NOTE: If Model Y is equipped with seven seats, the third row seating positions are not equipped with LATCH anchors. Use only seat belt retained child safety seats in a third row seating position.
Page 39 Child Safety Seats For a single-strap tether at an outboard seating position in the second row, raise the head support (see Head Supports on page 28) and run the strap under the head support. For dual-strap tethers in the second row, position a strap on each side of the head support.
Page 40 This seat has an airbag in front of it. Although this airbag is disabled when Model Y detects a lightweight passenger, do not rely on technology to protect your child.
Page 41: Airbags
Airbags are located in the approximate areas shown below. Airbag warning information is printed on the sun visors. Model Y is equipped with an airbag and lap/shoulder belt at both front seating positions. The airbag is a supplemental restraint at those seating positions. All occupants, including the driver, should always wear their seat belts whether or not an airbag is also provided at their seating position to minimize the risk of severe injury or death in the event of a crash.
Page 42 Tesla. Types of Airbags Model Y has the following types of airbags: • Front airbags: The front airbags are designed to reduce injuries if larger children or adults are riding in the front seats. Follow all warnings and instructions related to seating a child on the front passenger seat (if permitted in your market region).
Page 43 NOTE: It takes approximately six seconds after you power on Model Y for the occupant classification system (OCS) to report accurate status of the front passenger airbag. As a result, when you first power on Model Y, even in situations when it should be OFF because the seat is occupied by a weight of 20 lbs (9 kg) or less, it will take the touchscreen approximately six seconds to display the status, PASS AIRBAG OFF.
Page 44 WARNING: Do not use seat covers on Model Y. Doing so could restrict deployment of the seat-mounted side air bags if a collision occurs. It can also reduce the accuracy of the occupant detection system, if equipped.
Page 45 • Aftermarket items attached to or placed between the seat and the occupant, such as covers, mats, blankets, etc. These conditions can interfere with the occupancy sensor. If you have eliminated the above possibilities, and the airbag status is still incorrect, instruct passengers to ride in the rear seats and contact Tesla to have the airbag system checked.
