Tesla Model X: Attaching Upper Tether Straps
If an upper tether strap is provided, attach its hook to the anchor point located on the back of the second and third row (if equipped) seats.
NOTE: The location of anchor points may not be readily visible but can be found by identifying a slice in the seat's material.
WARNING: Tighten upper tether straps according to the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the child safety seat.
WARNING: USE ONLY SEAT BELT RETAINED CHILD SAFETY SEATS IN THE CENTER SEATING POSITION.
For dual-strap tethers, position a strap on each side of the head restraint.
NOTE: If Model X is equipped with the optional six seat interior, a center seating position is not available in the second row.
WARNING: When routing tether straps, keep the strap close to the headrest as illustrated below. On a Model X equipped with third row seats, do not allow a tether strap to cover the third row access button on the rear shoulder of the seat.
