2020 TESLA MODEL S steering wheel

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 5 mph (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 5 mph (8 km/h). When reversing,
visual feedback also displays on the touchscreen, immediately below the camera
view (see Rear View Camera on page 79). You
can manually close the park assist view on the touchscreen by touching the X in the upper
corner.
When driving with the Camera app displayed on the touchscreen, you can switch to the
Park Assist view when driving at speeds below
5 mph (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 buttonon 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
and do not clean a sensor with a sharp or abrasive object that can scratch or
damage its surface.Caution: Do not install accessories or
stickers on or near the parking sensors.
Controlling Audible Feedback
You can use Park Assist with or without
audible feedback. To turn chimes on or off,
touch Controls > Safety & Security > Park
Assist Chimes .
To mute the chimes temporarily, press the
scroll button on the left side of the steering
wheel or touch the mute button in the corner
of the Park Assist view. The chimes are muted
until you shift into a different gear or drive
over 5 mph (8 km/h).
Limitations and False Warnings The parking sensors may not function
correctly in these situations:

Rear View Camera
Camera Location
Model S is equipped with a rear view camera
located above the rear license plate.
Whenever you shift into Reverse, the
touchscreen displays the view from the
camera. Lines show your driving path based
on the position of the steering wheel. These
lines adjust appropriately as you move the
steering wheel.
Note: Visual feedback from the parking
sensors display on the instrument panel (see Park Assist on page 71).
To display the view from the camera at any
time:
Open the app launcher then
touch the camera icon.Warning: Never depend on the rear view
camera to inform you if the area behind
you is free of objects and/or people when
reversing. The camera may not detect
objects or barriers that can potentially
cause damage or injury. In addition, several external factors can reduce the
performance of the camera, including a
dirty or obstructed lens. Therefore,
depending on the rear view camera 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. Use the camera forguidance purposes only. It is not intendedto replace your own direct visual checks
and is not a substitute for careful driving.
Cleaning the Camera
To ensure a clear picture, keep the camera lens clean, and free of obstructions. Remove any
buildup of dirt by occasionally wiping the
camera lens with a soft damp cloth.
Caution: Do not use chemical-based or
abrasive cleaners. Doing so can damage
the surface of the camera lens.

To Cancel Parking
Autopark cancels the parking sequence when
you manually move the steering wheel, change gears, or touch Cancel on the
touchscreen. Autopark also cancels parking
when:

every situation and does not replace the need
to remain attentive and in control.Warning: Keep your hands on the steering
wheel at all times. If the vehicle senses your hands are not on the steering wheel,Model S sounds a chime and the hazard
warning lights

If Navigate on Autopilot (if available in your
market region) is enabled, you can turn it on
for the navigation route by touching Navigate
on Autopilot in the turn-by-turn direction list.
Navigate on Autopilot is an extension of Autosteer that automatically changes lanesand steers Model S onto the appropriate
exit(s) when navigating on controlled access
roads (such as freeways). For details, see
Navigate on Autopilot on page 98.The route overview icon displays
when a navigation route is active.
Touch this icon at any time to view
an overview of your navigation
route, or to change the orientation
of the map (see Overview on page
134), which also zooms the map to
show the current leg of your trip.
The black pin at the end of the
route line represents your
destination.Mute/unmute navigation volume.
Note: You can also mute the
volume of the navigation system by
pressing the scroll button on the
left side of the steering wheel while
navigation instructions are being
spoken. A volume control specific
to navigation instructions is also
available by touching the settings
icon on the map (see Overview on
page 134).
To stop navigating, touch CANCEL, located
below the turn-by-turn direction list.
Note: If a data connection is not available,
onboard maps allow you to navigate to any location, but you must enter the location

In Call OptionsWhen a call is in progress, you can display the
call menu on the instrument panel by pressing
the top button on the right side of the steering wheel. Then roll the right scroll button
and choose an option (see Using Right
Steering Wheel Buttons on page 45). To adjust
the call volume, roll the steering wheel
