Caring for seat belts
WARNING: Regularly check the
condition of both belts. Replace seat
belts if you notice any damage to the belt
webbing, fittings, retractor mechanisms or
buckles.
▲
Three tests for checking seat belts:
1.
With the seat belt fastened, give the
webbing nearest the buckle a quick
upward pull. The buckle should remain
securely locked.
2.
With the belt unfastened, unreel the
belt to its limit. Check that it unreels
smoothly with snatches or snags.
Visually check the webbing for wear.
Allow the belt to retract, checking that
retraction is smooth and complete.
3.
With the webbing half unreeled, hold
the tongue plate and pull forward
quickly. The mechanism must lock
automatically and prevent further
unreeling.
If a seat belt fails any of these tests,
contact Tesla Motors or an authorised
repairer immediately.
For seat belt cleaning information, see
Seat belts, page 8-9.
Child seats and restraints
WARNING: The seat belts fitted to
your vehicle are designed to secure
adult sized passengers only.
▲
WARNING: Children under age 12
and those weighing less than 36 kg
(80 lb) are not of sufficient size to be
carried safely wearing a standard seat belt
of the type fitted to your vehicle.
▲
WARNING: It is dangerous for
children to travel in any type of
vehicle without being restrained by a
harness, child seat, or restraint system
suitable for both their age and size.
▲
WARNING: Never let a passenger
hold a child on his or her lap while
your vehicle is moving. The passenger
cannot protect the child from injury in a
collision.
▲
Currently, child seats and restraints are not
approved for use in your vehicle. Until
these are available, Tesla Motors strongly
recommends that children are not carried
as passengers in your vehicle.
Note:
In some countries legislation
prohibits children travelling in the front of
a vehicle. Ensure that you are familiar with
the legislation in force where the vehicle is
being used and are in full compliance.
WARNING: Original text according
to EEC R94.01. Extreme Hazard! Do
not use a rearward facing child restraint on
a seat protected by an airbag in front of
it
▲
This label warns against the use of a
rearward facing child seat in vehicles
fitted with a front passenger air bag.
