Tesla Model X: Folding Second Row Seats (Bench)

The second row seat backs on bench seats can be folded fully forward so they lay flat and maximize cargo space. Pull up the mechanical lever located on the side of each outboard seat (the same lever you use to recline the seats, as described previously), then push the seat back fully forward. The bench seats have a 60/40 split- therefore, the adjustment lever on the left side folds the seat backs for both the left and center seats, whereas the lever on the right folds the rightmost seat back only.

Front and Rear Seats

NOTE: Before folding seats fully forward, remove any items from the seats and the rear footwell. To allow the seat backs to fold completely flat, you may need to move the front seats forward.

Moving Second Row Seats (Bench)

NOTE: Only bench seats in seven-seat vehicles can be moved forward and rearward. The bench seats in five- seat vehicles are stationary.

Use the mechanical lever located beneath each outboard seating position to move the second row seats forward or rearward. The bench seats have a 60/40 split -therefore, the lever on the left side moves the seat for the left and center seats, whereas the lever on the right side moves only the rightmost seat. Pull and hold the lever while moving the seat forward or rearward. Release the lever when the seat is at the desired location. Ensure the lever is locked in place before driving.

Front and Rear Seats

NOTE: You can adjust the position of bench seats using the mechanical levers only. You cannot use the touchscreen to adjust bench seats.
