Starting
When you open a door, Model Y powers on the
touchscreen and you can operate all controls.
To drive Model Y:
1.
PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL - Model Y powers on and
is ready to drive.
2.
SELECT A GEAR - Move the drive stalk all the way
down for Drive and all the way up for Reverse. See
Shifting Gears on page 51.
NOTE: If the PIN to Drive feature is enabled (see PIN to
Drive on page 142), you must also enter a valid PIN on
the touchscreen before you can drive
Model Y.
Everything you need to know when driving Model Y
displays on the touchscreen.
Drive Disabled - Requires Authentication
If Model Y does not detect a key when you press the
brake (an authenticated phone is not detected, or 30 seconds has passed since you used the key card), the
touchscreen displays a message telling you that driving requires authentication.
If you see this message, place the key card behind the cup holders on the top of the center console where the
RFID transmitter can read it. The 30 second
authentication window restarts and you can start
Model
Y by pressing the brake pedal.
A number of factors can affect whether Model Y can
detect an authenticated phone (for example, the phone

How Park Assist Works
Model Y has several sensors designed to detect the
presence of objects. When driving slowly in Drive or
Reverse (for example, when parking), the sensors alert
you if an object is detected in close proximity of your
Model Y. 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 Y
rolls freely in the opposite direction of the gear
you selected (for example, you will not receive an
alert if Model Y rolls backwards down a hill while
in Drive).
The sensors are activated when driving slower than
5 mph (8 km/h).
NOTE: Rear sensors are disabled when a bicycle is
detected or
Model Y is in trailer mode.
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,
causing either no readings or false readings (see
Limitations and False Warnings on page 65).
Therefore, depending on Park Assist to determine
if Model Y 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
touchscreen, showing objects that are in close
proximity to the front and rear of
Model Y. This view
closes when you shift into Drive unless an object is detected close to the front of
Model Y, 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 69). 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.

64MODEL Y OWNER

To ensure that Model Y provides you with the best
ownership experience possible in harsh cold weather
conditions, follow these best practices.
Before Driving
When snow and ice accumulate on your vehicle, moving
parts, such as the door handles, windows, mirrors, and
wipers can freeze in place. For these reasons, and to
achieve maximum range and performance, it is helpful to warm the cabin and Battery before you leave. There are several ways to do so:

3. With Model Y powered on and the Park gear
engaged, double press the Park button on the drive stalk. The touchscreen displays a popup window.4.
On the touchscreen, choose the direction of travel.
5.
Exit Model Y and close the driver
