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.
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 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 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 77).
