Model X Owner`s Manual

Disabling the Passenger Front
Airbags
When a child is seated in the front passenger
seat (even when the child is seated in a child
safety seat or booster seat), you must ensure
the passenger front airbags are disabled to
prevent them from injuring the child if a
collision occurs.
Note: Rear seats are the preferred location for
seating children in child safety seats.
To control the front and side airbags on the
passenger side of the vehicle, touch Controls >
Settings > Safety & Security > Passenger
Front Airbag.
Passenger airbag status displays in the top
right corner of the touchscreen if the airbag is
OFF. (If the airbag is ON, no status is
displayed.) You can also touch this indicator to
display the settings described above.
If the airbag is on, even if you have turned it
o (or vice versa), contact Tesla immediately.
Note: Model X has a capacitive touchscreen
and may not respond to your touch if you are
wearing standard gloves. If the touchscreen is
not responding, remove gloves or wear gloves
with conductive
fingertips for use with
capacitive touchscreens.
Warning: It is the driver's responsibility to
confirm that the passenger front airbags
are OFF when a child is seated in the
front passenger seat. Do not rely on the
occupant detection system to turn o
airbags. Before driving with a child seated
on the front passenger seat, always
double-check passenger airbag status
displayed in the top right corner of the
touchscreen.
Warning: Never seat a child in a child
safety seat or a booster seat on the front
passenger seat when the airbag is
activated. Doing so can cause serious
injury or death.
Warning: If the passenger airbag control
does not appear to be functioning, do not
seat a passenger in the front seat.
Contact Tesla immediately to have the
vehicle inspected and if necessary,
repaired.
Warning: Do not use seat covers on
Model X. Doing so could restrict
deployment of the side air bags if an
accident occurs.
