Tesla Model Y: Folding Third Row Seat Backs (7-seater only)
To fold a third row seat, first ensure that the head support is fully down as
shown (see Head Supports). Then press the button located in the top corner of
the seat back and fold the backrest downward.

NOTE: To return the seat backs to the upright position, pull the
seat back upward until it latches into place. Try pulling the backrest forward
to confirm that it is securely latched in the upright position.
NOTE: Before folding the seat backs, remove any items from the
seats and the footwell. To allow the backrests to fold completely flat, you may
need to move the second row seats forward.
NOTE: Driving with the third row backrests folded forward may
result in increased perceivable noise and/or vibration coming from the rear of
the vehicle (trunk, suspension, etc.).
WARNING: Always ensure the seat backrests are locked in their upright
position before travel. Failure to do so increases the risk of injury.
