Seat Belt Warnings

WARNING: Seat belts should be worn by
all occupants for every journey no matter
how short. Failure to do so increases the risk of
injury or death if an accident occurs.
WARNING: Secure small children in a
suitable child safety seat (see page 3.7).
Always follow the child safety seat
manufacturer's instructions when installing.
WARNING: Ensure that all seat belts are
worn correctly. An improperly worn seat
belt increases the risk of injury or death if an
accident occurs (see page 3.4).
WARNING: Do not wear seat belts over
hard, fragile or sharp items in clothing,
such as pens, keys, eyeglasses, etc. The
pressure from the seat belt on such items can
cause injury.
WARNING: Seat belts should not be worn
with any part of the strap twisted.
WARNING: Each seat belt assembly must
be used by one occupant only. It is
dangerous to put a seat belt around a child
being carried on an occupant's lap.
WARNING: Seat belts that have been
worn in an accident must be inspected or
replaced by Tesla, even if damage to the
assembly is not obvious.
WARNING: Seat belts that show signs of
wear (such as fraying) or have been cut
or damaged in any way, must be replaced by
Tesla.
WARNING: Avoid contaminating a seat
belt's components with any chemicals,
liquids, grit, dirt or cleaning products. If a seat
belt fails to retract or latch into the buckle, it
must be replaced immediately. Contact Tesla.
WARNING: Do not make modifications or
additions that can prevent a seat belt
mechanism from taking up slack, or that can
prevent a seat belt from being adjusted to
remove slack. A slack belt greatly reduces
occupant protection.
WARNING: Do not make modifications
that can interfere with the operation of a
seat belt, or that can cause a seat belt to
become inoperable.
3.6
WARNING: When seat belts are not in
use, they should be fully retracted and
not hanging loose. If a seat belt does not fully
retract, contact Tesla.
