Camera Location
Model Y is equipped with a rear view camera located above
the rear license plate
in close proximity to the liftgate switch.
Whenever you shift into Reverse, the touchscreen displays
the view from the camera. Lines show your driving path
based on the position of the steering wheel. These lines
adjust as you move the
steering wheel.
A vertical red bar appears over the rear view camera feed if
Model Y detects an object (such as another vehicle or a
pedestrian) about to cross behind the vehicle. For more
information, see
Rear Cross-Traffic Alert on page 121.
Model Y also displays images from the side cameras (if
equipped). Simply swipe up or down to hide or show the side
camera views.
NOTE: Visual feedback from Park Assist also appears on the
touchscreen (see Park Assist on page 84).
To display the view from the rear view cameras
at any time, open the app launcher and touch
the Camera app. You can also swipe up or
down to switch between the rear, front, and
side camera views.
If a black screen appears on the touchscreen instead of the
rear view camera feed when in Reverse, use the rear view
mirrors and ensure your surroundings are safe before
continuing to Reverse. If inoperability of the rear view camera
persists, use the mobile app to schedule a service
appointment.
WARNING:
Never depend on the cameras to inform you
if the area behind you is free of objects and/or people.
The cameras may not detect objects or barriers that
can potentially cause damage or injury. In addition,
several external factors can reduce the performance of
the cameras, including a dirty or obstructed lens.
Therefore, depending on the cameras 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. Use the cameras
for guidance purposes only. It is not intended to
replace your own direct visual checks and is not a
substitute for careful driving.
To ensure a clear picture, the camera lens must be clean and
free of obstructions. See Cleaning on page 179.
