Page 34: Child Safety Seats
Guidelines for Seating Children Your Model X seat belts are designed for adults and larger children. You must restrain infants and small children in rear seats only, and you must use a suitable child safety seat appropriate for the child’s age, weight, and size.
Page 35 It is the driver’s responsibility to keep up to date on, and comply with, all current regulations in the region(s) where Model X 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 36 Always follow the detailed instructions provided by the child safety seat manufacturer. General guidelines are provided below. 1. Place the child safety seat in Model X, and fully extend the seat belt. Route and buckle the seat belt in accordance with the child safety seat manufacturer’s instructions.
Page 37 In the second row, install LATCH child safety seats in the outboard seating positions only. Use only a seat belt retained seat in the center position. NOTE: If Model X is equipped with two seats in the second row, both seats support the use of LATCH child safety seats.

Page 41 This seat has an airbag in front of it. Although this airbag is disabled when Model X detects a lightweight passenger, do not rely on technology to protect your child.
Page 42: Airbags
Airbags are located in the approximate areas shown below. Airbag warning information is printed on the sun visors. Model X 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 43 How Airbags Work • Door-mounted airbags: There is an airbag on each side of Model X mounted in the trim on the falcon wing doors. These are the same as the curtain airbags Airbags inflate when sensors detect an impact that in that they help protect the head and typically inflate exceeds deployment thresholds.
Page 44 NOTE: It takes approximately six seconds after you power on Model X for the occupant classification system (OCS) to report accurate status of the front passenger airbag. As a result, when you first power on Model X, 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 45 Airbags WARNING: Do not use seat covers on Model X. 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. Ensuring Accurate Occupant NOTE: The front passenger occupancy sensor affects the operation of the passenger front airbags only.

Page 83: Pedestrian Warning System
Pedestrian Warning System The Pedestrian Warning System (if equipped) causes Model X to emit sound when driving below 19 mph (32 km/h) or while driving in reverse. Electric vehicles operate quietly and this sound helps to alert pedestrians of your oncoming vehicle. The sound, which activates whenever Model X is shifted out of Park, gets louder as speed increases.

Model X: • When Model X is in Reverse or when driving speed is below 10 mph (16 km/h), the spoiler provides maximum visibility behind Model X.
Page 85: Towing And Accessories
The towing package allows you to tow a trailer with NOTE: When not in use, the hitch receiver should be your Model X. It also allows you to carry skis, removed and stored in a dry location to prevent rust snowboards, bicycles, etc.
Page 86 SAE Class II – 350 lbs (158 kg) *Tesla recommends a separate braking system on trailers with a loaded weight of over 1000 lbs (450 kg). The braking system must be appropriate for the weight of the trailer. Follow the instructions provided by the trailer brake manufacturer to ensure that trailer brakes are properly installed, adjusted, and maintained.
Page 87 NOTE: For general information about trailer safety WARNING: Never attempt to tow a trailer when a provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Model X tire is faulty or has been inflated using a Administration, go to: http://www.nhtsa.gov/cars/ tire repair kit.

Page 89 Towing Guidelines 3. Peel back the carpet to expose Model X's 4-pin connector on the wiring harness. Model X is designed primarily as a passenger-carrying vehicle. Towing a trailer puts additional load on the motor(s), drive train, brakes, tires, and suspension and significantly decreases range.
