Touchscreen Overview

Windows
Opening and Closing
Press down on a switch to lower the
associated window. Window switches operate
at two levels:

Park Assist
How Park Assist Works
Model S has several sensors designed to detect the presence of objects. When drivingslowly in Drive or Reverse (for example, when
parking), the sensors alert you if an object is
detected in close proximity of your Model S.
Objects are only detected in the direction of
the gear you selected; front objects in Drive,
rear objects in Reverse.
Warning: You may not be alerted if
Model S rolls freely in the opposite
direction of the gear you selected (for
example, you will not receive an alert if
Model S rolls backwards down a hill while
in Drive).
The sensors are activated when driving slower
than 8 km/h.
Warning: Never depend on Park Assist to
inform you if an area you are approaching is free of objects and/or people. Several
external factors can reduce the
performance of Park Assist, causingeither no readings or false readings (see
Limitations and False Warnings on page
72). Therefore, depending on Park Assist
to determine if Model S is approaching an obstruction can result in damage to the
vehicle and/or objects, and can
potentially cause serious injury. Always
inspect the area with your own eyes.
When reversing, perform shoulder checks and use all mirrors. Park assist does not
detect children, pedestrians, bicyclists,
animals, or objects that are moving, protruding, located too far above or
below the sensors, or too close or too far
from the sensors. Park Assist is for
guidance purposes only and is not intended to replace your own direct visual
checks. It is not a substitute for careful
driving.
Visual and Audio Feedback
When you shift to Reverse, the Park Assist
view displays on the left side of the instrument
panel, showing objects that are in close
proximity to the front and rear of Model S.
This view closes when you shift into Drive
unless an object is detected close to the front
of Model S, in which case the Park Assist view
closes automatically when your driving speed
exceeds 8 km/h. When reversing, visual
feedback also displays on the touchscreen, immediately below the camera view (see Rear
View Camera on page 80). You can manually
close the park assist view on the touchscreen by touching the X in the upper left corner.
When driving with the Camera app displayed on the touchscreen, you can switch to the
Park Assist view when driving at speeds below
8 km/h. Touch the button located in the upper
left corner of the Camera app window. This is
useful if you need assistance with parallel parking.
If chimes are turned on (see Controlling
Audible Feedback on page 72), an audible
beep sounds as you approach an object. You
can temporarily mute the chime by pressing
the scroll button on the left side of the
steering wheel or by touching the mute button on the bottom left corner of the Park Assist
view.
Note: If a sensor is unable to provide
feedback, the instrument panel displays an
alert message.
Caution: Keep sensors clean from dirt,
debris, snow, and ice. Avoid using a high
pressure power washer on the sensors
