If the airbag is permanently on, even when the
seat is empty and the seat belt is unbuckled,
contact Tesla immediately.
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.
• After market items attached to, or sitting
on, the seat (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 contact Tesla to have the airbag
system checked.
Note: The front passenger seat’s sensing
system
aects the operation of the passenger
front and side airbags only. The other
passenger airbags are not
aected.
Warning: To ensure accuracy of the
occupant detection system, do not make
any modifications to the front passenger
seat.
Inflation Eects
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
eect 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:
• Doors and liftgate unlock.
• Hazard warning lights turn on.
• Interior lights turn on.
• High voltage is disabled.
To restore Battery power, use the touchscreen
to manually power o Model X (see Powering
O on page 51), then press the brake to
power it back on again.
Airbag Warning Indicator
The airbag indicator on the
instrument panel remains lit if the
airbag system is malfunctioning. The
only time this indicator should light
up is
briefly when Model X first
powers up, in which case it turns o
within a few seconds. If it remains lit,
contact Tesla immediately and do
not drive.
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
Model X. Doing so could restrict
deployment of the seat-mounted side air
bags if a collision occurs. It can also
reduce the accuracy of the occupant
detection system, if equipped.
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.
Warning: Do not use a child safety seat or
seat young children on a seat with an
operational airbag in front of it. Doing so
can cause injury or death if the airbag
inflates.
Warning: To ensure correct inflation of
the side airbags, maintain an
unobstructed gap between an occupant’s
torso and the side of Model X.
