Correct Driving Position
Adjusting the Driver’s Seat
The seat, head support, seat belt and airbags work together to maximize your safety. Using these correctly ensures greater protection.
Position the seat so you can wear the seat belt correctly, while being as far away from the front airbag as possible: 1.
2.
3.
Sit upright with both feet on the floor and the seat back reclined no more than 30 degrees. Make sure you can easily reach the pedals and that your arms are slightly bent when holding the steering wheel. Your chest should be at least 10 inches (25 cm) from the center of the airbag cover. Place the shoulder section of the seat belt mid-way between your neck and your shoulder. Fit the lap section of the belt tightly across your hips, not across your stomach.
1.
Adjust lumbar support.
2. 3. 4.
Note: If your Model S is equipped with adjustable head supports, this button is also used to move the head support up or down (see Head Supports/Restraints on page 23). When you touch this button, the touchscreen displays a popup with an image of the seat. If the lumbar area on the image is not highlighted in blue, touch the lumbar area on the image to specify that you want to adjust lumbar support. The selection you choose is retained until you manually change it. Adjust backrest. Move seat forward/backward. Adjust the seat’s height and tilt angle. Warning: Before adjusting a front seat, check that the area around the seat is free of obstacles (people and objects). Warning: Do not adjust seats while driving. Doing so increases the risk of a collision.
