Interior Overview
3Overview

Using Exterior Door Handles
Use your thumb to push the wide part of the door
handle. The handle pivots toward you, and you can open
the door by pulling the handle or pulling the edge of the door.
The handle retracts automatically.
When a door or trunk is open, the
touchscreen displays the Door Open
indicator light.
NOTE: See Cold Weather Best Practices on page 80 to
ensure door handles function properly in cold weather.
Opening Doors from the Interior
Model Y doors are electrically powered. To open a door
while sitting inside, press the button located at the top of the interior door handle and push the door open.
NOTE: To prevent children from opening the rear doors,
turn on child-protection locks (see
Child-Protection
Lock on page 12).
To open a front door in the unlikely situation when
Model Y has no power, pull up the manual door release
located in front of the window switches.
NOTE: Only the front doors are equipped with a manual
door release.
CAUTION: Manual door releases are designed to
be used only in situations when Model Y has no
power. When Model Y has power, use the button
located at the top of the interior door handle.Doors
11Opening and Closing

Opening and Closing
Press down on a switch to lower the associated window.
Window switches operate at two levels:

Starting
When you open a door to enter Model Y, the
touchscreen powers on 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 gear stalk down for
Drive or up for Reverse (see
Gears on page 52).
NOTE: If the PIN to Drive feature is enabled (see PIN to
Drive on page 145), 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 (a key fob or phone key is not detected or two
minutes have 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 in either
phone dock where the RFID transmitter can read it. The
two-minute 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 a phone key or key fob (for example, the device

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 vehicle alerts
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 selected
gear (for example, Park Assist does not display 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 (see
Rear
View Camera on page 69). 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 65), 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 button on the
bottom left corner of the Park Assist view.

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:

Summon now moves Model Y according to the direction
you
specified on the touchscreen.
NOTE: To cancel the parking maneuver before exiting,
touch
Cancel on the popup window.
NOTE: If you do not choose a direction of travel on the
touchscreen, Summon does not start a parking
maneuver when you exit.
Stopping or Canceling Summon
You can stop Model Y at any time while Summon is
active by using the mobile app or by pressing any
button on the key fob
accessory. Summon also cancels
when:
