book.book Page 4 Friday, July 19, 2013 12:53 PM Seat Belts Seat Belts Wearing Seat Belts Seat Belts Using seat belts and child safety seats is the most effective way to protect occupants if a collision occurs. Therefore, wearing a seat belt is required by law in most jurisdictions. Both the driver and passenger seats are equipped with three-point inertia reel seat belts. Inertia reel belts are automatically tensioned to allow occupants to move comfortably during normal driving conditions.
book.book Page 5 Friday, July 19, 2013 12:53 PM Seat Belts Seat Belt Pre-tensioners Testing Seat Belts The front seat belts are equipped with pre-tensioners that work in conjunction with the airbags in a severe frontal collision. The pre-tensioners automatically retract both the seat belt anchor and the seat belt webbing, reducing slack in both the lap and diagonal portions of the belts, resulting in reduced forward movement of the occupant.
book.book Page 6 Friday, July 19, 2013 12:53 PM Seat Belts Seat Belt Warnings WARNING: Seat belts should be worn by all occupants for every journey no matter how short. Failure to do so increases the risk of injury or death if an accident occurs. Seat Belts WARNING: When seat belts are not in use, they should be fully retracted and not hanging loose. If a seat belt does not fully retract, contact Tesla. WARNING: Secure small children in a suitable child safety seat (see page 3.7).

book.book Page 8 Friday, July 19, 2013 12:53 PM Child Safety Seats Seating Larger Children If a child is too large to fit into a child safety seat, but too small to safely fit into the standard seat belts, use a booster seat appropriate for the child’s age and size. Carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions to secure the booster seat using the seat belts. Do not use the ISOFIX system to secure booster seats, even in situations where the booster seat is equipped with the ISOFIX system.
book.book Page 9 Friday, July 19, 2013 12:53 PM Child Safety Seats Installing ISOFIX Child Seats Lower ISOFIX anchor points are provided at all three second row seating positions and are located between the seat back rest and rear cushion.

book.book Page 16 Friday, July 19, 2013 12:53 PM Airbags Airbags How the Airbags Work Inflation of airbags depends on the rate at which the vehicle’s cabin changes speed in a collision. The rate of deceleration determines whether airbags inflate. Airbags inflate instantly with considerable force accompanied by a loud noise. The inflated bag, together with the seat belts, limits movement of occupants to reduce the risk of injury.
book.book Page 17 Friday, July 19, 2013 12:53 PM Airbags Disabling the Front Passenger Airbag When a child is seated in the front passenger seat (even though the child is seated in a child safety seat or booster seat), you must ensure the front passenger airbag is turned off. This prevents the airbag from injuring the child if a collision occurs. The ON/OFF status of the front passenger airbag displays in the upper right corner of the touchscreen.
book.book Page 18 Friday, July 19, 2013 12:53 PM Airbags Airbags Inflation Effects Airbag Warnings When airbags inflate, a fine powder is released. This powder can irritate the skin and should be thoroughly flushed from the eyes and from any cuts or abrasions. 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 crash.

book.book Page 20 Friday, July 19, 2013 12:53 PM Brakes Brakes Braking Systems Emergency Braking Model S has an anti-lock braking system (ABS) that prevents the wheels from locking when you apply maximum brake pressure. This improves steering control during heavy braking in most road conditions. In an emergency, fully press the brake pedal and maintain firm pressure, even on low traction surfaces. ABS varies the braking pressure to each wheel according to the amount of traction available.
book.book Page 21 Friday, July 19, 2013 12:53 PM Brakes Regenerative Braking Parking Brake Whenever Model S is moving and your foot is off the accelerator, regenerative braking slows down Model S and feeds any surplus energy back to the Battery. The parking brake automatically engages whenever you shift Model S into Park, and releases whenever you shift into any other gear.
book.book Page 22 Friday, July 19, 2013 12:53 PM Traction Control Traction Control How It Works Traction Control The traction control system constantly monitors the difference in speed between the front and rear wheels.
