Wearing 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.
All 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.
The seat belt reel automatically tightens or locks to prevent movement of occupants if Model 3 experiences a force associated with hard acceleration, braking, cornering, or an impact in a collision.
Seat Belt Reminders
You can temporarily disable a seat belt reminder associated with a rear seating position. This is useful when you are carrying an object in a rear seat that triggers the seat belt reminder alert. To disable the reminder, touch the associated seat on the seat belt reminder popup message that displays on the touchscreen when a seat belt reminder is active. When a reminder is disabled, the seat belt reminder icon is replaced by a seat icon, for the current drive only. Touch the seat again to re-enable the reminder.
To Fasten a Belt
- Ensure correct positioning of the seat. See (see Correct Driving Position) for details on the correct position of the driver's seat.
- Draw the belt out smoothly, ensuring the belt lays flat across the pelvis, chest and mid-point of your collar bone, between the neck and shoulder. Ensure the belt is routed correctly and is not twisted. Never sit on the seat belt or any seat belt component.WarningA twisted or incorrectly routed seat belt can cause damage and interfere with the functionality of the seat belt system.
- Insert the latch plate into the buckle and press together until you hear a click indicating it is locked in place.
- Pull the belt to check that it is securely fastened.
- Pull the diagonal part of the belt toward the reel to remove excess slack.
To Adjust the Shoulder Anchor Height
Model 3 is equipped with an adjustable shoulder anchor for each front seat to ensure that the seat belt is positioned correctly. The seat belt should lay flat across the mid-point of your collar bone while in the correct driving position (see Correct Driving Position). Adjust the height of the shoulder anchor if the seat belt is not positioned correctly:
- Press and hold the button on the shoulder anchor to release the locking mechanism.
- While holding the button, move the shoulder anchor up or down, as necessary, to correctly position the seat belt.
- Release the button on the shoulder anchor so that it locks into position.
- Without pressing the button, pull on the seat belt webbing and attempt to move the shoulder anchor downward to check that it is locked into position.
To Release a Belt
Hold the belt near the buckle to prevent the belt from retracting too quickly, then press the button on the buckle. The belt retracts automatically. Ensure there is no obstruction that prevents the belt from fully retracting. The belt should not hang loose. If a seat belt does not fully retract, contact Tesla.
Wearing Seat Belts When Pregnant
Do not put the lap or shoulder sections of the seat belt over the abdominal area. Wear the lap section of the belt as low as possible across the hips, not the waist. Position the shoulder portion of the belt between the breasts and to the side of the abdomen. Consult your doctor for specific guidance.
Seat Belt Pre-tensioners
The front seat belts are equipped with pre‑tensioners that work in conjunction with the airbags in a collision. The pre‑tensioners automatically retract both the seat belt lower anchor and the upper shoulder webbing, reducing slack in both the lap and diagonal portions of the belts, resulting in reduced forward movement of the occupant.
If the pre-tensioners and airbags did not activate in an impact, this does not mean they malfunctioned. It usually means that the strength or type of force needed to activate them was not present.
The rear outboard seats are equipped with shoulder pre-tensioners to retract the seat belt webbing to reduce forward movement of the occupant.
Testing Seat Belts
To confirm that seat belts are operating correctly, perform these checks on each seat belt.
- With the seat belt fastened, give the webbing nearest the buckle a quick and forceful pull. The buckle should remain securely locked.
- With the seat belt fastened, give the webbing closest to the door a quick and forceful pull. The permanent seat belt attachment should remain securely locked. Never attempt to remove this attachment.
- With the belt unfastened, unreel the webbing to its limit. Check that unreeling is free from snags, and visually check the webbing for wear. Allow the webbing to retract, checking that retraction is smooth and complete.
- With the webbing half unreeled, hold the tongue plate and pull forward quickly. The mechanism should lock automatically and prevent further unreeling.
If a seat belt fails any of these tests, repair immediately. Do not allow occupants to sit in a seat with a failed seat belt.

Kutumia kamba za usalama na viti vya usalama vya watoto ni njia bora ya kulinda abiria wakati wa mgongano. Kwa hiyo, kuvaa mkanda wa usalama ni lazima kwa sheria katika maeneo mengi. Viti vyote vimejengwa kwa mikanda ya usalama yenye mviringo wa inertia yenye pointi tatu. Inertia reel mikanda ni moja kwa moja tensed kuruhusu abiria kusonga vizuri wakati wa hali ya kawaida ya kuendesha gari. Reel ya ukanda wa usalama hufunga au kufunga moja kwa moja ili kuzuia harakati za abiria ikiwa Model 3 hupata nguvu inayohusiana na kuongeza kasi kwa nguvu, kuizuia, kugeuka, au athari katika mgongano. Kumbuka kwa ajili ya ukanda wa usalama: Unaweza kufuta kwa muda ukumbusho wa kamba ya usalama kuhusishwa na nafasi ya kukaa nyuma. Hii ni muhimu wakati wewe ni kubeba kitu katika kiti cha nyuma ambayo triggers usalama mkanda wa ukumbusho onyo. Ili kuondoa ukumbusho, gusa kiti cha kuhusishwa kwenye ujumbe wa pop-up wa ukumbusho wa ukanda wa usalama unaonyeshwa kwenye skrini ya kugusa wakati ukumbusho wa ukanda wa usalama unafanya kazi. Wakati kukumbusha ni disabled, icon ukanda wa usalama kukumbusha ni kubadilishwa na icon kiti, kwa ajili ya gari ya sasa tu. Gusa kiti tena ili kuwezesha tena ukumbusho. Kufunga mkanda - Hakikisha kwamba kiti kiko mahali panapofaa. Angalia (tazama nafasi sahihi ya kuendesha gari) kwa maelezo juu ya nafasi sahihi ya kiti cha dereva. Kuondoa belt kwa urahisi, kuhakikisha belt kuweka gorofa juu ya pelvis, kifua na katikati ya kifua cha mkono, kati ya shingo na bega. Hakikisha mkanda ni routed kwa usahihi na si twisted. Kamwe usiketi kwenye mkanda wa usalama au sehemu yoyote ya mkanda wa usalama.Kushindwa au njia isiyo sahihi ya mkanda wa usalama inaweza kusababisha uharibifu na kuingilia utendaji wa mfumo wa mkanda wa usalama. - Kuingiza latch sahani katika buckle na bonyeza pamoja mpaka kusikia click kuonyesha ni imefungwa katika nafasi. - Vuta mkanda ili uone kama umefungwa vizuri. - Kuvuta sehemu ya mstatili wa ukanda kuelekea reel kuondoa sluggish ziada. Kwa mfano, kwa mfano, kwa mfano, kwa mfano, kwa mfano, kwa mfano, kwa mfano, kwa mfano, kwa mfano, kwa mfano, kwa mfano, kwa mfano, kwa mfano, kwa mfano, kwa mfano, kwa mfano, kwa mfano, kwa mfano, kwa mfano, kwa mfano, kwa mfano, kwa mfano, kwa mfano, kwa mfano, kwa mfano, kwa mfano. Mkanda wa usalama unapaswa kuweka gorofa juu ya katikati ya kifupa cha clavicle yako wakati katika nafasi sahihi ya kuendesha gari (tazama nafasi sahihi ya kuendesha gari). • Kuongeza urefu wa anchor ya bega ikiwa ukanda wa usalama haujapatikana kwa usahihi: Bonyeza na kushikilia kifungo cha anchor ya bega ili kuondoa utaratibu wa kufuli. - Wakati kushikilia kifungo, hoja bega nanga juu au chini, kama inahitajika, kwa nafasi sahihi ya ukanda wa usalama. - Acha kifungo kwenye nanga ya bega ili kifungue katika nafasi. - Bila kubonyeza kifungo, kuvuta juu ya ukanda wa ukanda wa usalama na kujaribu kuhamisha anchor bega chini ya kuangalia kwamba ni imefungwa katika nafasi. Ili kuondoa kamba, funga kamba karibu na buckle ili kuzuia kamba kutoka retracing haraka sana, kisha bonyeza kitufe kwenye buckle. Mkanda huo hujifunga wenyewe. Hakikisha hakuna kizuizi ambacho kinazuia mkanda usije ukarudi nyuma kabisa. Mkanda haupaswi kunyongwa. Ikiwa mkanda wa usalama haujarudi nyuma kabisa, wasiliana na Tesla. Kutumia Vifungo vya Usalama Wakati wa Mimba Usiweke sehemu za kiuno au bega za mkanda wa usalama juu ya eneo la tumbo. Vaa sehemu ya kiuno ya mkanda chini iwezekanavyo kwenye viuno, si kiuno. Weka sehemu ya bega ya mkanda kati ya matiti na upande wa tumbo. Mshauri daktari wako kwa mwongozo maalum. Vifaa vya kusimamisha vyuma vya usalama Vifaa vya mbele vya usalama vimejengwa na vifaa vya kusimamisha vyuma vya usalama ambavyo hufanya kazi pamoja na vifuniko vya hewa wakati wa mgongano. Vifaa vya kusimamisha vya usalama huunganisha kwa moja kwa moja nanga ya chini ya ukanda wa usalama na ukanda wa juu wa bega, kupunguza kugeuka kwa sehemu zote mbili za mgongo na diagonal za ukanda, na kusababisha mwendo wa mbele wa abiria. Kama pre-tensioners na airbags si kuamsha katika mgongano, hii haina maana wao defective. Kwa kawaida hilo humaanisha kwamba nguvu au aina ya nguvu inayohitajiwa ili kuziamsha haikuwapo. Viti vya nyuma vya nje vimewekwa na mabega ya mabega ili kuondoa utando wa mkanda wa usalama ili kupunguza harakati ya mbele ya mpangaji. Vifaa vya usalama vya usalama: Ili kuhakikisha kwamba vyuma vya usalama vinafanya kazi kwa usahihi, fanya ukaguzi huu kwa kila mkanda wa usalama. - Ukiwa umefunga mkanda wa usalama, nyosha kwa nguvu na haraka kamba iliyo karibu zaidi na ufungo. Funguo inapaswa kubaki imefungwa kwa usalama. - Ukiwa umefunga mkanda wa usalama, nyosha kwa nguvu na haraka kamba iliyo karibu zaidi na mlango. Kifaa cha kudumu cha kufunga mkanda wa usalama kinapaswa kubaki kimefungwa kwa usalama. Kamwe usijaribu kuondoa uhusiano huo. - Kwa mkanda unfastened, unreel webbing kwa kikomo chake. Angalia kwamba unreeling ni bure kutoka snags, na visually kuangalia webbing kwa ajili ya kuvaa. Acha webbing kuingizwa, kuangalia kwamba kuingizwa ni laini na kamili. - Pamoja na webbing nusu unreeled, kushikilia ulimi sahani na kuvuta mbele haraka. Utaratibu unapaswa kufunga moja kwa moja na kuzuia zaidi unreeling. Ikiwa mkanda wa usalama haufanyi kazi katika mojawapo ya majaribio hayo, rudisha mara moja. Usiruhusu abiria kuketi katika kiti na ukanda wa usalama kushindwa. Kwa habari kuhusu kusafisha mikanda ya usalama, angalia Mikanda ya usalama.
