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.

Camera Location
Model Y 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.
Model Y also displays images from the side cameras. To
view these images, simply swipe
upward when the view
from the rear view camera is displayed.
NOTE: Visual feedback from the parking sensors also
appear on the
touchscreen (see Park Assist on page
64).
To display the view from the cameras at any time:
Touch the camera icon on the "Cards"
area on the touchscreen.WARNING: Never depend on the cameras to
inform you if the area behind you is free of
objects and/or people when reversing. The
cameras may not detect objects or barriers that
can potentially cause damage or injury. In
addition, several external factors can reduce the
performance of the cameras, including a dirty or
obstructed lens. Therefore, depending on the
cameras 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. Use the cameras for guidance
purposes only. It is not intended to replace your
own direct visual checks and is not a substitute
for careful driving.
Cleaning a Camera
To ensure a clear picture, the camera lens must be 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
lens.

How It Works
Your Model Y includes the following Autopilot components that actively monitor the surrounding roadway:
1.
A camera is mounted above the rear license plate.
2.
Ultrasonic sensors are located in the front and rear bumpers.
3.
A camera is mounted in each door pillar.
4.
Three cameras are mounted to the windshield above the rear view mirror.
5.
A camera is mounted to each front fender.
6.
Radar is mounted behind the front bumper.
Model Y is also equipped with high precision electronically-assisted braking and steering systems.
NOTE: Ensure all cameras and sensors are clean before each drive. See Cleaning Cameras and Sensors on page 82
for more information. Unclean cameras and sensors, as well as environmental conditions such as rain and faded lane markings, can
affect Autopilot performance.
