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: Children should not be seated
on the front passenger seat unless
permitted by regulations in your market
region. Follow all regulations in your
region for the appropriate way to seat a
child based on the child's weight, size,
and age. The safest place to seat infants
and young children is in the rear seating
positions. Seating an infant or child in a
rear-facing child restraint system on a
seat equipped with an operational airbag
can cause serious injury or death.
Warning: To ensure correct inflation of the
side airbags, maintain an unobstructed
gap between an occupant’s torso and the
side of Model X.
Warning: Passengers shouldn't lean their
heads against doors. Doing so can cause
injury if a curtain airbag inflates.
Warning: Do not allow passengers to
obstruct the operation of an airbag by
placing feet, knees or any other part of
the body on or near an airbag.
Warning: Do not attach or place objects
on or near the front airbags, the side of
the front seats, the headliner at the side
of the vehicle, or any other airbag cover
that could interfere with inflation of an
airbag. Objects can cause serious injury if
the vehicle is in a collision severe enough
to cause the airbag to inflate.
Warning: Following inflation, some airbag
components are hot. Do not touch until
they have cooled.
