To mute the chimes temporarily, touch the speaker icon
in the bottom corner of the Park Assist view. The chimes
are muted until you shift or drive over 5 mph (8 km/h).
Limitations and False Warnings
The parking sensors may not function correctly in these
situations:
• One or more of the ultrasonic sensors 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 8 inches
(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 S 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 S has been parked in, or being driven in,
extremely hot or cold temperatures.
•
The sensors are aected by other electrical
equipment or devices that generate ultrasonic waves.
•
You are driving in a location where the sensors'
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 S is interfering
with and/or obstructing the sensor (such as a bike
rack or bumper sticker).
•
Model S rolls freely in the opposite direction you
selected (for example, Park Assist does not display an
alert if
Model S 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 S (see Rear Facing Camera(s) on page 70).
