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 o,
touch Controls > Safety > Park Assist Chimes.
Limitations and False Warnings
The parking sensors may not function
correctly in these situations:
•
One or more of the ultrasonic sensors (if
equipped) or cameras is damaged, dirty,
or obstructed (such as by mud, ice, or
snow, or by a vehicle bra, excessive paint,
or adhesive products such as wraps,
stickers, rubber coating, etc.).
•
The object is located below
approximately 20 cm (such as a curb or
low barrier).
CAUTION:
Shorter objects that are
detected (such as curbs or low
barriers) can move into the blind
spot of the sensors. Model 3
cannot alert you about an object
while it is in the blind spot of the
sensors.
• Weather conditions (heavy rain, snow, or
fog) are interfering with sensor operation.
•
The object is thin (such as a sign post).
• A sensor’s operating range has been
exceeded.
• The object is sound-absorbing or soft
(such as powder snow).
•
The object is sloped (such as a sloped
embankment).
• Model 3 has been parked in, or being
driven in, extremely hot or cold
temperatures.
• The sensors (if equipped) are aected by
other electrical equipment or devices that
generate ultrasonic waves.
• You are driving in a location where the
sensors' (if equipped) ultrasonic waves
are deflected away from the vehicle (such
as driving next to a wall or pillar).
• The object is located too close to the
bumper.
• A bumper is misaligned or damaged.
•
An object that is mounted to Model 3 is
interfering with and/or obstructing the
sensor (such as a bike rack or bumper
sticker).
• Model 3 rolls freely in the opposite
direction you selected (for example, Park
Assist does not display an alert if
Model 3
rolls backwards down a hill while in Drive).
Other Parking Aids
In addition to Park Assist, when shifted into
Reverse, the backup camera displays a view
of the area behind
Model 3 (see Rear Facing
