Model Y is designed to detect the presence of objects. When
driving slowly (for example, when parking), the vehicle alerts
you if an object is detected in close proximity of your Model
Y. The vehicle alerts you when objects are detected in front
of Model Y when you are in Drive, and behind Model Y when
you are in Reverse.
WARNING:
You may not be alerted if Model Y rolls
freely in the opposite direction (for example, Park
Assist does not display an alert if Model Y rolls
backwards down a hill while in Drive).
NOTE: Park Assist may be 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 85). 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 cameras, or too close or too far
from the cameras. 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.
Tesla Vision Park Assist
NOTE: Depending on market region, vehicle configuration,
options purchased, and software version, your vehicle may
not be equipped with Tesla Vision Park Assist.
Your vehicle uses the cameras mounted on the front, rear,
and sides of
Model Y to create a high-fidelity reproduction of
surrounding objects on the touchscreen.
The colors on the visualization correspond to the distance
between Model Y and the object shown. Red is closer to
Model Y, and yellow is farther from Model Y.
Depending on date of manufacture: You can enable or
disable Tesla Vision Park Assist (if equipped) by touching
Controls > Autopilot, scrolling to Park Assist, and toggling
between Standard and Tesla Vision.
NOTE: Enabling Tesla Vision Park Assist disables Lane Assist
visualizations. For more information, see
Lane Assist on page
117.
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 you start driving faster than the speed at
which Park Assist operates. When reversing, visual feedback
also displays on the touchscreen (see
Rear Facing Camera(s)
on page 92). You can manually close the park assist view on
the touchscreen by touching the X.
When driving at low speeds with the Camera app displayed
on the touchscreen, you can switch to the Park Assist view
by touching the button located in the upper left corner of the
Camera app screen. This is useful if you need assistance with
parallel parking.
If chimes are turned on (see Controlling Audible Feedback on
page 85), an audible beep sounds as you approach an object.
NOTE: If Park Assist is unable to provide feedback, the
touchscreen displays an alert message.
