Tesla Model S: Head Supports
The front seats include integrated head supports that you cannot adjust.
The rear outboard seating positions include an adjustable head support that can be raised/lowered or removed. The head support should always be raised and locked into position (so that the center is aligned with the center of the occupant's head) when occupied by a passenger that is not in a child safety seat.
Lift the head support to the desired position. To lower the head support, press and hold the button on the base of the outer post while pushing down on the head support.
To remove a head support:
1. Lift the headrest to raise it.
2. Press and hold the button located at the base of the right post.
3. Insert a short, flat object (such as a small flat-head screwdriver) into the opening on the inside base of the opposite post and pull the head support upward.
Seat Heaters
All seats contain heating pads. In addition, both front seats are ventilated. You can control seat heaters in all seating positions using the touchscreen.
WARNING: To avoid burns resulting from prolonged use, individuals who have peripheral neuropathy, or whose capacity to feel pain is limited because of diabetes, age, neurological injury, or some other condition, should exercise caution when using the climate control system and seat heaters.
Seat Covers
WARNING: Do not use seat covers in Model S. Doing so could restrict deployment of the seat- mounted side air bags if a collision occurs. Seat covers can also interfere with the occupant detection system that is used to determine the status of the passenger front airbag.
