Instrument Panel - Driving
When Model S is driving (or ready to drive), the instrument panel shows your current driving
status and a real-time visualization of the road as detected by the Autopilot components (see
About Autopilot on page 84). The visualization automatically zooms in and out based on the
detected road type.
NOTE: Touch Controls > Autopilot > Full Self-Driving Visualization Preview (if equipped) to
display more details about the roadway and its surroundings, such as road markings, stop lights,
objects (such as trash cans and poles), etc.

The instrument panel displays your location on a map, a wiper menu, Auto Shift out of Park instructions, etc. When a navigation route is active, the upcoming portion of the route
displays.

How Park Assist Works
Model S has several sensors designed to
detect the presence of objects. When driving slowly in Drive or Reverse (for example, when
parking), the vehicle alerts 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 selected gear (for example, Park Assist does not display 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, causing either no readings or false readings (see Limitations and False Warnings on page 71). 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 (see
Rear View Camera on page 76). You can manually close the park assist
view on the touchscreen by touching the X in
the bottom 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 71), 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 yoke 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 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 > Park Assist Chimes.
To mute the chimes temporarily, 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:

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 yoke. These
lines adjust as you move the steering yoke.
Model S also displays images from the side
cameras. To view these images, simply swipe
when the view from the rear view camera is displayed.
NOTE: Visual feedback from the parking
sensors also appear on the instrument panel (see Park Assist on page 70).
To display the view from the
rear view cameras at any
time, open the app launcher
and touch the Camera app.
You can also touch the
Camera icon in the Controls
window.WARNING: Never depend on the cameras to inform you if the area behind you is free of objects and/or people. 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 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 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 build-up of dirt or debris by
spraying water onto the camera lens with a
spray bottle or pressure washer.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to remove dirt or debris by wiping an exposed lens with your hands or a cloth. This debris can damage the surface of the lens when rubbed against it during wiping.
CAUTION: Do not use chemical-based or abrasive cleaners. Doing so can damage the surface of the lens.Rear View Camera

Allow Mobile Access: Allow your Tesla mobile
app to access your Model S (see Mobile App on page 172).
NOTE: To disable Allow Mobile Access, you
must enter your Tesla account credentials.
Security Alarm: Enable the security alarm, if
equipped (see Security Settings on page 161).
Park Assist Chimes: If on, a beep sounds
when Model S approaches an object while
parking (see Park Assist on page 70).
Joe Mode: If on, Joe Mode lowers the volume
of your vehicle

DO NOT TRANSPORT WITH
WHEELS ON THE GROUND
The front and rear motors in Model S generate power when the wheels spin. Always
transport Model S with all four tires off the
ground. Ensure that the tires are unable to
spin at any time during transport.
WARNING: NEVER TRANSPORT YOUR VEHICLE WITH THE TIRES IN A POSITION WHERE THEY CAN SPIN. DOING SO CAN LEAD TO SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE AND OVERHEATING. IN RARE CASES EXTREME OVERHEATING MAY CAUSE THE SURROUNDING COMPONENTS TO IGNITE.
Do not transport Model S using any method
that is not specified by Tesla. Adhere to the
instructions provided in the following sections
and observe all warnings and cautions provided. Damage caused by improper transporting of your vehicle is not covered by
the warranty.
NOTE: Tesla is not liable or responsible for
reimbursing services not dispatched through
Tesla Roadside Assistance.
Approved Methods for
Transporting
A flatbed truck or comparable transport
vehicle is the recommended method of
transporting
Model S. The vehicle can face
either direction when using a flatbed.
If Model S must be transported without a flatbed truck, then wheel lifts and dollies must
be used to ensure that all four wheels are off
of the ground. This method may only be used
for a maximum of 35 miles (55 km), and must
not exceed the manufacturer speed rating of
the dollies. With this method, Tesla
recommends the vehicle faces forward so that
the front wheels are lifted and the rear wheels
are on dollies.
NOTE: Transporting Model S with the front
wheels on dollies is not recommended, but
may be done if an external
steering yoke lock
is applied and care is taken to prevent the
front wheels from spinning.
CAUTION: DO NOT TRANSPORT YOUR VEHICLE IF THERE IS ANY CHANCE OF ANY OF THE WHEELS SPINNING.
CAUTION: Enable Transport Mode (see Activate Transport Mode on page 219) before winching Model S onto a flatbed truck. If Transport Mode is not available or the touchscreen is not accessible, self-loading dollies or tire skates must be used to load the vehicle into the approved transportation position. Tesla is not responsible for any damage caused by or during the transport of Model S, including personal property damage or damage caused by using self-loading dollies or tire skates.
NOTE: Transport Mode is only intended to
allow for winching Model S onto a flatbed truck or repositioning the vehicle out of a
parking space. While in Transport Mode, the
tires are allowed to rotate slowly (under
3 mph or 5 km/h) and for a very short distance
(less than 30 feet or 10 meters). See Activate Transport Mode on page 219. Exceeding
these boundaries can lead to significant
damage and overheating that is not covered
by the warranty.
