Correct Driving Position
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:
- Sit upright with both feet on the floor and the seat back in an upright position.
- 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 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.
Model Y seats include integrated head supports in the front that cannot be adjusted or removed.
Reclining and Folding Second Row Seats
Model Y provides seating for up to three passengers in the second row. The seat back is split 60/40 so adjusting the left seat moves both the left and center seats, whereas adjusting the right seat moves only the right seat.
- Press the switch on the outside of each seat. To only fold the center seat forward, pull the handle on the back of the center seat.
- Use the controls on the front touchscreen ( ).
- Use the controls on the rear touchscreen (touch the seat icon).
- Press the switch in the trunk.
The switch on the side of each outboard seat has two detents and functions differently depending on if you are seated or not.

While sitting, to adjust the angle of the seat back, press the forward (1) or backward (2) switch and release it once the seat back is in the desired position.
Otherwise, while not in the seat, fully press and release the switch to automatically fold (1) the seat into a flat position or automatically unfold (2) the seat. Lightly press the switch and release for incremental adjustments.
To allow you to carry long items (such as skis) in the rear of Model Y, the center seat back can also be independently folded forward. Pull the handle on the rear of the seat back to unlatch it, then pull it forward.


You can also fold the second row seat backs fully forward by pressing the corresponding switch located on the left side of the rear trunk. Press the switch again to unfold the seat back.

Head Supports
The front seats include integrated head supports that you cannot adjust.
The second row outboard seats include adjustable head supports that you can raise, lower, or remove. When either of these seats is occupied by a passenger that is not in a child safety seat, the corresponding head support should be adjusted (align the center of the head support with the center of the occupant's head) and locked into position. To raise the head support, lift it until you hear it click into place. To lower it, press and hold the button on the base of the post while pushing it downward.

The second row center seat is equipped with the option to raise the head support. Initially stowed into the seat's back rest, you can access the head support by pulling it upward. When occupied by a passenger that is not seated in a child safety seat, the head support should always be lifted and locked into position (so that the center is aligned with the center of the occupant's head).
To stow the head support in the second row center seat, press and hold the button on the base of the post while pushing the head support fully downward.

Removing/Installing a Head Support
All head supports in the second row seating positions can be removed. To remove a head support:
- Fully raise the head support by pulling it upward.
- Press and hold the button located at the base of one of the posts.
- Insert a short, flat object (such as a small flat-head screwdriver) into the opening in the base of the opposite post and pull the head support upward.
To re-install the head support:
- With the front of the head support facing forward, insert both posts into the corresponding holes on the seat back.
- Press downward on the head support until it clicks into place.
- Pull upward on the head support to ensure that it is secure.
Seat Heaters
The front and second row seats operate at three levels from 3 (highest) to 1 (lowest). To operate the seat heaters, see Operating Climate Controls.
