Summary

Tesla does not provide physical owner's manual copies. Instead, all available owner’s manual content is integrated into the vehicle software, and only the content relevant for a given vehicle, based on vehicle configuration and software version installed, is displayed on its touchscreen. This file contains all available owner’s manual content for the vehicle converted to PDF format, and given the distribution method and NHTSA’s submission format requirements, it is the best available representative copy of owner’s manual content. However, a customer who accesses the owner’s manual via their vehicle’s touchscreen would only see the parts of this PDF file that are relevant to their vehicle.

Owners Manual
NOTE: An automatic locking retractor disengages only when the seat belt is unbuckled and fully retracted. The belt can then
be worn as a normal belt, sliding freely in and out and locking tight only in an emergency. Once disengaged, the belt must be
fully extended to re-engage the locking mechanism whenever you install a child safety seat.
Always follow the detailed instructions provided by the child safety seat manufacturer. General guidelines are provided below.
1. Place the child safety seat in CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y, and fully extend the seat belt. Route and buckle
the seat belt in accordance with the child safety seat manufacturer’s instructions.

2. Allow the seat belt to retract, and remove all slack in the seat belt while firmly pushing the child safety seat into the
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y seat.
3. Once all slack has been removed, forcefully pull the seat belt webbing to confirm that the automatic locking retractor (ALR)
is engaged.
NOTE: The ALR disengages only after unbuckling and fully retracting the seat belt webbing. Once disengaged, the belt
must be fully extended to re-engage the locking mechanism.
4. Attach the upper tether strap(s), as required by the manufacturer of the child restraint system (see Attaching Upper Tether
Straps on page 311).
Installing ISOFIX (LATCH) Child Seats
Lower LATCH anchors are provided in the rear outboard seats. The anchors are located between the seat's rear back rest and
lower cushion. The exact location of each anchor is identified by a child safety seat identification button, illustrated below. The
button is located on the seat back, directly above its associated anchor.

308

Owner's Manual

Owners Manual

In the rear seats, install LATCH child safety seats in the outboard seating positions only. Use only a seat belt retained seat in
the center position.

To install a LATCH child safety seat, lift the flap (if equipped) to allow access to the anchors.

Owner's Manual

309

Owners Manual

Carefully read and follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the child restraint system. The instructions
describe how to slide the child restraint system onto the seat’s anchor bars until you hear it "click" into place. You may need to
push the child restraint system firmly against the seat back to ensure it fits snugly. The flap (if equipped) remains open when
the child seateBay logo is installed.

Adjust until the child restraint system is fitted firmly against the seat back. Ensure the child restraint system fits snugly.

Owner's Manual

Owners Manual

Before seating a child, ensure that the child restraint system is securely installed. Grasp the front of the child restraint system
with one hand on each side, and attempt to:
• Twist the child restraint system from side to side.
• Pull the child restraint system away from the seat.
If the child restraint system moves away from the seat, both latches are not fully engaged onto the seat's anchor bars. You
must reinstall it and try again. It is critical that both latches on the child restraint system are fully engaged.
WARNING: Do not use LATCH anchors with child seats or booster seats that have an integrated safety belt where the
combined weight of the child plus the child restraint system exceeds 65 lbs (29.5 kg).
Attaching Upper Tether Straps
If an upper tether strap is provided, attach its hook to the anchor point located on the back of the rear seats.
NOTE: The location of anchor points may not be readily visible but can be found by identifying a slice in the seat's material.
WARNING: Tighten upper tether straps according to the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the child safety
seat.
WARNING: USE ONLY SEAT BELT RETAINED CHILD SAFETY SEATS IN THE CENTER SEATING POSITION.
For dual-strap tethers, position the straps as shown.

Owner's Manual

311

Owners Manual

Position single-strap tethers for the outboard seating positions to route on the outside of the head support. Position a single
strap in the center seating position to route over the top of the seat as illustrated.
NOTE: To prevent the single-strap tether in the center seating position from moving side to side, the top of the seat deforms.

Testing a Child Safety Seat
Before seating a child, always make sure the child safety seat is not loose:
1. Hold the child safety seat by the belt path and try to slide the safety seat from side to side and front to back.
2. If the seat moves more than one inch (2.5 cm), it is too loose. Tighten the belt or reconnect the LATCH retained child safety
seat.
3. If you are unable to reduce slack, try a different seat location or try another child safety seat.
Child Safety Seat Warnings
WARNING: Extreme hazard! Do not seat a child on the front passenger seat even if you are using a child safety seat. This
seat has an airbag in front of it. Although this airbag is disabled when CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y
detects a lightweight passenger, do not rely on technology to protect your child.
WARNING: Child restraint systems are designed to be secured in vehicle seats by lap belts or the lap belt portion of a
lap-shoulder belt. Children could be endangered in a crash if their child restraints are not properly secured in the
vehicle.
WARNING: According to collision statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seating positions than
in the front seating positions.
WARNING: Do not use a forward facing child safety seat until your child weighs over 20 lbs (9 kg) and can sit
independently. Up to the age of two, a child's spine and neck are not sufficiently developed to avoid injury in a frontal
impact.

Airbags
Location of Airbags
Airbags are located in the approximate areas shown below. Airbag warning information is printed on the sun visors.
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model 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.

Owners Manual

1. Knee airbags
2. Front airbags
3. Curtain airbags
4. Seat-mounted side airbags
NOTE: Vehicles manufactured prior to approximately mid-September 2022 are not equipped with a seat-mounted airbag
on the inside portion of the driver's seat.
5. Door-mounted airbags

How Airbags Work
Airbags inflate when sensors detect an impact that exceeds deployment thresholds. These thresholds are designed to predict
the severity of a crash in time for the airbags to help protect the vehicle's occupants. Airbags inflate instantly with
considerable force accompanied by a loud noise. The inflated bag, together with the seat belts, limits movement of occupants
to reduce the risk of injury.
Front airbags are not ordinarily designed to inflate in rear collisions, rollovers, side collisions and when braking heavily or
driving over bumps and potholes. Likewise, front airbags may not inflate in all frontal collisions, such as minor front collisions,
underride collisions, or minor impacts with narrow objects (such as posts or poles). Significant superficial damage can occur
to the vehicle without the airbags inflating and, conversely, a relatively small amount of structural damage can cause airbags to
inflate. Therefore, the external appearance of the vehicle after a collision does not represent whether or not the front airbags
should have inflated.

Owner's Manual

321

Owners Manual
WARNING: Before modifying CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y to accommodate a person with disabilities in
a way that may affect the airbag system, use the mobile app to schedule service.
Types of Airbags
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model 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).
• Knee airbags: Knee airbags and the front airbags work together. The knee airbags limit the forward motion of the front seat
occupants by restricting leg movement, thereby positioning the occupants so that the front airbags work more effectively.
Whether or not knee airbags deploy in a collision is partially dependent on the track position of the associated seat.
• Seat-mounted airbags: A seat-mounted side airbag in the front seats helps protect the pelvis and the thorax region of the
torso. The seat-mounted airbag on the inside portion of the driver's seat helps protect the head and torso. Seat-mounted
airbags on both the impacted and non-impacted side of the vehicle inflate in the event of a severe side impact or a severe
offset frontal impact.
• Curtain airbags: A curtain airbag on each side of CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y in the front roof-rail help
protect the head. Curtain airbags on both the impacted and non-impacted side of the vehicle will inflate if a severe side
impact occurs, a severe offset frontal impact occurs, or if the vehicle rolls over.
• Door-mounted airbags: There is an airbag on each side of CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y mounted in the trim
on the falcon wing doors. These are the same as the curtain airbags in that they help protect the head and typically inflate
in the event of a severe side impact, a severe offset frontal impact, or if the vehicle rolls over. The door-mounted airbags on
both the impacted and non-impacted side of the vehicle will inflate.
Airbag Status Indicator
The status of the passenger front airbag displays on the touchscreen:
The Passenger Airbag Off indicator displays on the touchscreen when the passenger front airbag is OFF.
When the passenger front airbag is OFF, it does not inflate when a collision occurs. This indicator also
displays when the seat is unoccupied. When driving with a child seateBay logo on the front passenger seat (if
permitted in your market region), always double-check the status of the passenger front airbag to confirm
that it is OFF.
NOTE: In cars manufactured prior to approximately October 2019, the Passenger Airbag Off indicator does
not display when the seat is unoccupied.
To protect an adult occupying the front passenger seat, ensure the passenger front airbag is ON. When the
passenger airbag is ON, it may inflate when a collision occurs.
The airbag indicator displays on the touchscreen for a few seconds at the start of every drive while checking
the following functionality, as applicable:
• Airbags
• Seat belts with pre-tensioners and load limiters
Impact sensors
• Occupant sensors
• Seat belt sensors
• Passive safety component wiring harnesses
• Onboard restraint controlled components (ex: accelerometer and other passive safety components)
After this check, the airbag indicator turns off. If the airbag system detects a fault in any of the previously
mentioned components, the airbag warning indicator stays on. In this case contact TeslaeBay logo service immediately.
Do not drive the vehicle until the airbag system is inspected by Tesla.

322

Owner's Manual

Owners Manual
The airbag indicator on the instrument cluster remains lit if the airbag system is malfunctioning. The only time
this indicator should illuminate is briefly when CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y first powers up,
in which case it turns off within a few seconds. If it remains illuminated, use the mobile app to schedule a
service appointment immediately and do not drive.

Front Passenger Occupant Detection
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y has an occupancy sensor in the front passenger seat that controls the status of
the passenger front airbag.
NOTE: The occupancy sensor system meets the regulatory requirement of FMVSS 208 and automatically detects when
inflating the passenger front airbag would be unnecessary or potentially harmful.

*Values are approximate. A weight detected near the threshold can cause the airbag status to occasionally turn on and off
depending on seating position and physique.
**In cars manufactured after approximately October 2019, the Passenger Airbag Off indicator displays when the seat is
unoccupied.
NOTE: It takes approximately six seconds after you power on CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y for the occupancy
sensor to report accurate status of the front passenger airbag. As a result, when you first power on
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model 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.
If it fails to do so, use the mobile app to schedule a service appointment immediately and do not seat a child in the front
passenger seating position.
To make sure the sensing system can correctly detect occupancy status, eliminate the following:
• Objects lodged under the seat.
• Heavy objects sitting on the seat (briefcase, large purse).
• Objects wedged between the seat back and seat cushion.
• Cargo interfering with the seat.
• Aftermarket items attached to, or sitting on or between, the seat and occupant including but not limited to 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, ask passengers to ride in the rear seats and use the mobile app to schedule a service appointment to have the
airbag system checked.
NOTE: The front passenger occupancy sensor affects the operation of the passenger front airbags only. The side airbags are
not affected.
WARNING: If the front passenger airbag is not turning on or off as expected based on the weight thresholds previously
described, use the mobile app to schedule a service appointment immediately.
WARNING: If seating a child in the front passenger seat is legally permissible in your market region, it is the driver's
responsibility to ensure that the passenger front airbag is OFF. Never seat a child in a rear facing safety seat in the front
passenger seat with an active airbag. DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the child can occur. Per recommendations by the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, all occupants age 12 and under must ride in the rear seats.
