Tesla Model Y: Guidelines for Seating Children
Your Model Y seat belts are designed for adults and larger children. You must restrain infants and small children in rear seats only, and you must use a suitable child safety seat appropriate for the child's age, weight, and size.
WARNING: Never seat a child in the front passenger seat, even if using a child safety seat.
WARNING: Never seat a child on a seat with an ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it. DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the child can occur.
WARNING: Always ensure that all Model Y seats are locked in position before traveling. Failure to do so increases the risk of injury. Pay attention to all warnings displayed on the touchscreen.
WARNING: Do not associate the Easy Entry setting with the driver's profile when a child is seated in the second row. Doing so can cause the driver's seat to push against the child, especially when a child is seated in a forward-facing child seat or booster seat. Do not rely on Model Y to recognize or accommodate a child seated in the second row while using this setting.
Refer to the following label located on the sun visors.
NOTE: The image(s) shown below are representative only and may not be identical to the labels in your vehicle.
Model Y has an occupancy sensor in the front passenger seat that controls the passenger front airbag (see Airbags).
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 does not display when the seat is unoccupied.
To protect an adult occupying the
front passenger seat, always double-check the passenger front
airbag to confirm that it is ON.

Always use a child safety seat suitable
for a young child's age and weight. The following table is based on child safety
Installing Child Safety Seats
There are two general methods used to install child
safety seats:
Seat belt retained - these seats are secured using the
vehicle's seat belts.
LATCH retained - these seats attach to anchor bars
Installing LATCH (ISOFIX) Child
Seats
Lower LATCH anchors are provided in the second row
outboard seats. The anchors are located between the
seat's back rest and rear cushion. The exact location of
each anchor is identified by a child

Traction Control
How It Works
The traction control system constantly monitors the
speed of the front and rear wheels. If Model Y
experiences a loss of traction, the system minimizes
wheel spin by controlling brake pressure and motor
power. By default, the traction control system is on.
