Seating and Safety Restraints
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.
In a collision, in addition to the airbags inflating:
• Doors unlock.
• Hazard warning lights turn on.
• Interior lights turn on.
• High voltage is disabled (you must contact Roadside Assistance to restore high voltage power).
• Seat belt pre-tensioners retract the seat belt anchor and seat belt webbing.
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: 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 Cybertruck.
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 or pillows, etc. Objects can cause serious injury if the vehicle is
in a collision severe enough to cause the airbag to inflate.
WARNING: Do not use seat covers on the front seats. Doing so could restrict deployment of the seat-mounted airbags if
a collision occurs.
WARNING: Following inflation, some airbag components are hot. Do not touch until they have cooled.

Bluetooth
Bluetooth® Compatibility
You can use various Bluetooth devices in Cybertruck provided it is paired and within operating range. For
example, you can pair your Bluetooth-capable phone so you can use it hands-free. In addition to phones, you
can pair other Bluetooth-enabled devices with Cybertruck. For example, you can pair an iPod Touch, iPad,
Android tablet, etc. from which you can play music.

Before using your phone or other Bluetooth device with Cybertruck, you must pair it. Pairing sets up Cybertruck to
communicate with supported Bluetooth-capable devices. You can pair up to ten Bluetooth phones. Unless you've specified a
specific phone as a Priority Device, or if the phone specified as Priority Device is not within range, Cybertruck always connects
to the last phone that was used (provided it is within range). To connect to a different phone, see Switching Between Paired
Devices on page 23.
NOTE: Authenticating your phone to use as a key (see Keys on page 200) does not allow you to use the phone hands-free, play
media from it, etc. You must also pair it as described below.
NOTE: On many phones, Bluetooth turns off if the phone’s battery is low.
NOTE: Although Bluetooth typically supports wireless communication over distances of up to approximately 30 feet
(nine meters), performance can vary based on the phone, or other device, you are using.
NOTE: Cybertruck can pair up to twenty Bluetooth devices at a time but only allows two devices to connect simultaneously
(such as one phone and one controller or two controllers) to each front and rear touchscreen (if equipped).
CAUTION: Do not leave your paired phone in your vehicle (for example, if you are hiking or at the beach). If you must
leave your phone in the vehicle, disable Bluetooth and/or turn the phone off.

Pairing a Phone or Bluetooth Device
Pairing allows you to use your Bluetooth-capable phone hands-free to make and receive phone calls, access your contact list,
recent calls, etc. It also allows you to play media files from your phone. Once a phone is paired, Cybertruck can connect to it
whenever the phone is within range.
1. To pair a phone or a Bluetooth device, sit inside Cybertruck and ensure the touchscreen is on.
2. Unlock your phone and enable Bluetooth (typically in Settings on your phone).
NOTE: On some phones, this may require you to go to Bluetooth Settings for the remainder of the procedure.
3. On the touchscreen, touch Controls > Bluetooth to automatically start Bluetooth scanning for new devices.
4. Wait for your phone to be listed and touch Connect.
5. Check that the number displayed on your phone matches the number on the touchscreen. Then, on your phone, confirm
that you want to pair.
6. If prompted on your phone, specify whether you want to allow Cybertruck to access your personal information, such as
calendar, contacts and media files (see Importing Contacts and Recent Calls on page 22). When paired, Cybertruck lists
your phone under Controls > Bluetooth > Paired Devices.
To change the settings of a paired device, go to Controls > Bluetooth > Paired Devices and expand the dropdown next to the
device's name.
