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.
WARNING: Before modifying your vehicle to accommodate a person with disabilities in a way that may affect the airbag
system, use the mobile app to schedule a service appointment.
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.
• 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: Curtain airbags help protect the head. Curtain airbags on both the impacted and non-impacted side of the
vehicle inflate only if a severe side impact occurs, or if the vehicle rolls over.
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 seat 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 December 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

Owner's Manual

345

Owners Manual
• 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 Tesla service immediately.
Do not drive the vehicle until the airbag system is inspected by Tesla.
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 front airbag.
NOTE: The occupancy classification system (OCS) meets the regulatory requirement of FMVSS 208 and automatically detects
when inflating the passenger front airbag would be unnecessary or potentially harmful.
WARNING: Seating an infant in a rear facing child restraint system on a seat equipped with an operational airbag can
cause serious injury or death.

*If the passenger airbag status indicator does not match the situation, do not use the seat. The passenger must ride in a
different seat. Use the mobile app to schedule a service appointment.
NOTE: It takes approximately six seconds after you power on CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y for the occupant
classification system (OCS) 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, a delay of approximately six seconds can occur before the touchscreen displays the PASS
AIRBAG OFF status. If it fails to do so, use the mobile app to schedule a service appointment 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.

346

Owner's Manual

• 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: It is the driver's responsibility to confirm that the passenger front airbag is OFF when a child is seated in the
front passenger seat. If the passenger front airbag fails to disable with a child seat in position, place the child and child
restraint system in the rear seat and use the mobile app to schedule a service appointment immediately.
WARNING: Never seat a child in the front passenger seat. 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.
WARNING: Do not use seat covers on CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y. Doing so could restrict deployment
of the seat-mounted side airbags if a collision occurs. It can also reduce the accuracy of the occupant detection system

and the noise-canceling microphones, if equipped.
Ensuring Accurate Occupant Detection
To help ensure an occupant in the front passenger seat can be accurately detected, the passenger must:
• Wear a seat belt.
• Sit upright on the center of the seat cushion, with shoulders resting against the seat back and legs extended comfortably in
front with feet on the floor. See Examples of Correct and Incorrect Seating Positions on page 349Examples of Correct and
Incorrect Seating Positions on page 351.
• Remain positioned on the seat cushion and not lift their weight off the seat (for example, by pushing their feet against the
floor or pressing on the center console or armrest to lift up).
• Never wear thick, wet, or bulky clothing (such as ski wear or padded clothing).
In addition to the items listed above, the following situations can interfere with the accuracy of the occupant classification
system:
• Placing a radio transmitter (for example, a hunting radio or walkie-talkie) on the front passenger seat.
• Placing an AC/DC inverter, or a device that is being powered by the inverter (for example, a cell phone, tablet, or computer)
on the front passenger seat cushion.
• Placing liquid (such as a bottled drink) or food containers on a car seat when a child seat is present.
• Objects lodged under the seat or wedged between the seat back and cushion.
• Heavy objects sitting on the seat (briefcase, large purse).
• Cargo interfering with the seat.
• 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 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 and side airbags.
WARNING: Tesla follows NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) recommendations that all occupants
age 12 and under be seated in a rear seat.
WARNING: Failure to follow the above instructions can adversely affect the Occupant Classification System (OCS)
which can cause serious injury or death.
WARNING: If the front passenger airbag is not turning on or off as expected, do not seat a passenger in the front
passenger seat. Use the mobile app to schedule a service appointment.
WARNING: To ensure accuracy of the occupant detection system, do not make any modifications to the front passenger
seat and do not use seat covers. Modifying the seat, or using seat covers, can restrict deployment of the seat-mounted
side airbags if a collision occurs. It can also reduce the accuracy of the occupant classification system.

Inflation Effects
WARNING: When airbags inflate, a fine powder is released. This powder can irritate the skin and should be thoroughly
flushed from the eyes and from any cuts or abrasions.
After inflation, the airbags deflate to provide a gradual cushioning effect for the occupants and to ensure the driver’s forward
vision is not obscured.
If airbags have inflated, or if your vehicle has been in a collision, always have the airbags, seat belt pre-tensioners and any
associated components checked and, if necessary, replaced by Tesla.
In a collision, in addition to the airbags inflating:
• United States only: Your vehicle automatically dials 911 if Controls > Safety > Automatic 911 calls is enabled. Cancellation
instructions as well as a countdown timer display on the touchscreen.
• Doors unlock, and the door handles extend.
• Hazard warning lights turn on.
• Interior lights turn on.
• High voltage is disabled (you must use the mobile app to schedule a service appointment to restore high voltage power).
• Windows go to the vent position.
• Vehicle applies the brakes to come to a stop.
NOTE: Depending on the nature of the impact and the forces involved, doors may not unlock in a collision and/or damage may
prevent them from opening. In such cases, the door may need to be opened using the interior manual release, or other means
of extrication (for example, exiting through another door, breaking the window, etc.).
Airbag Warnings
WARNING: Do not place objects over or near airbags because any such objects could cause harm if the vehicle is in a
crash severe enough to cause the airbag to inflate.
WARNING: 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 collision.
WARNING: Front seat occupants should not place their arms over the airbag module, as an inflating airbag can cause
fractures or other injuries.
WARNING: Do not use seat covers on CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y. Doing so could restrict deployment
of the seat-mounted side airbags if a collision occurs. It can also reduce the accuracy of the occupant detection system
and the noise-canceling microphones, if equipped.

Owner's Manual

Owners Manual
WARNING: Airbags inflate with considerable speed and force, which can cause injury. To limit injuries, ensure that
occupants are wearing seat belts and are correctly seated, with the seat positioned as far back as possible. The National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recommends a minimum distance of 10 inches (25 cm) between an
occupant’s chest and an airbag.
WARNING: Children should not be seated on the front passenger seat unless permitted by regulations in your market
region. Follow all regulations in your region for the appropriate way to seat a child based on the child's weight, size, and
age. The safest place to seat infants and young children is in a rear seating position. Seating an infant or child in a rearfacing child restraint system on a seat equipped with an operational airbag can cause serious injury or death.
WARNING: To ensure correct inflation of the side airbags, maintain an unobstructed gap between an occupant’s torso
and the side of CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y.
WARNING: Passengers shouldn't lean their heads against doors. Doing so can cause injury if a curtain airbag inflates.
WARNING: Do not allow passengers to obstruct the operation of an airbag by placing feet, knees or any other part of the
body on or near an airbag.
WARNING: Do not attach or place objects on or near the front airbags, the side of the front seats, the headliner at the
side of the vehicle, or any other airbag cover that could interfere with inflation of an airbag. These include but are not
limited to: steering wheel covers, decals, seat cushions, pillows, etc. Objects can cause serious injury if the vehicle is in
a collision severe enough to cause the airbag to inflate.
WARNING: Following inflation, some airbag components are hot. Do not touch until they have cooled.
