Tesla Model S: Types of Airbags
Tesla Model S (2012-2024) Owner's Manual / Seating and Safety Restraints / Airbags / Types of Airbags
Model S has the following types of airbags:
- Front airbags: The front airbags are designed to reduce injuries if larger children or adults are riding in the front seats. Follow all warnings and instructions related to seating a child on the front passenger seat (if permitted in your market region).
- Knee airbags: Knee airbags and the front airbags work together. The knee airbags limit the forward motion of the front seat occupants by restricting leg movement, thereby positioning the occupants so that the front airbags work more effectively.
- Side airbags: Side airbags protect the thorax region of the torso and the pelvis. They inflate only if a severe side impact occurs. Side airbags on the non- impacted side of the vehicle do not inflate.
- Curtain airbags: Curtain airbags help protect the head. Curtain airbags on both the impacted and non- impacted side of the vehicle inflate only if a severe side impact occurs, or if the vehicle rolls over.
