Starting and Powering Off
49Driving

WARNING: Do not rely on regenerative braking
and your chosen Stopping Mode to keep you and
your vehicle safe. Various factors such as driving
with a heavy vehicle load, on a steep hill, or on wet
or icy roads affect deceleration rate and the
distance at which Model 3 will come to a stop.
Drive attentively and always stay prepared to use
the brake pedal to stop as appropriate based on
traffic and road conditions.
WARNING: Forward Collision Warning and
Automatic Emergency Braking (if equipped) do
not operate when driving at very low speeds (see
Collision Avoidance Assist on page 112). Do not
rely on these features to warn you, or to prevent or
reduce the impact of a collision.
NOTE: Your chosen setting is retained in your Driver
Profile until you manually change it.
Parking Brake
To engage the parking brake, touch Controls > Safety &
Security > Parking Brake. Follow the onscreen
instructions.
You can also engage the parking brake by
pressing and holding the button on the end of the drive
stalk while in Park.
NOTE: The parking brake operates on the rear wheels
only, and is independent of the pedal-operated brake
system.
WARNING: In snowy or icy conditions the rear
wheels may not have sufficient traction to prevent
Model 3 from sliding down a slope, particularly if
not using winter tires. Avoid parking on hills in
snowy or icy conditions. You are always
responsible for parking safely.
WARNING: Your Model 3 may display an alert if
the road is too steep to safely park on, or if the
parking brakes are not properly engaged. These
alerts are for guidance purposes only and are not a
substitute for the driver

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.
Limitations and False Warnings
The parking sensors may not function correctly in these
situations:

How It Works
Your Model 3 includes the following Autopilot components that actively monitor the surrounding area:
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 (if equipped) is mounted behind the front bumper.
Model 3 is also equipped with high precision electronically-assisted braking and steering systems.
In addition, vehicles in the U.S. also have a cabin camera that can determine driver inattentiveness and provide alerts
when Autopilot is engaged. By default, data from the camera does not leave the vehicle itself. In other words, data is
not saved or transmitted unless you enable data sharing. To enable data sharing, touch
Controls > Safety & Security
> Data Sharing > Allow Cabin Camera Analytics. Cabin Camera Analytics helps Tesla continue to develop even safer
vehicles in the future. See
Cabin Camera on page 21.
NOTE: Ensure all cameras and sensors are clean before each drive. See Cleaning Cameras and Sensors on page 80
for more information. Dirty cameras and sensors, as well as environmental conditions such as rain and faded lane markings, can
affect Autopilot performance.

fob, or key card and a locked door or trunk is opened, an
alarm sounds and the headlights and turn signals
flash.

To deactivate the alarm, press any button on the mobile
app or tap your key card or key fob against the card reader located

Model 3 from all possible security threats. While it
may help deter some threats, no security system
can prevent all attacks.
CAUTION: Sentry Mode may not trigger the
security alarm in all situations involving damage to
the vehicle. The security alarm depends upon
multiple factors to be triggered and may not
detect all impacts to the vehicle or may not trigger
the alarm in all cases.
Standby, Alert, and Alarm States
When in Sentry Mode, Model 3 may go through three
states depending on its surroundings
