Autopark
WARNING: During the parking
sequence, continually check your
surroundings. Be prepared to apply
the brakes to avoid vehicles,
pedestrians, or objects.
• The target parking space is directly
adjacent to a wall or pillar (for example,
the last parking space of a row in an
underground parking structure).
• One or more of the ultrasonic sensors is
damaged, dirty, or obstructed (such as by
mud, ice, or snow).
WARNING: When Autopark is active,
monitor the touchscreen to ensure
that you are aware of the instructions
that Autopark is providing.
• Weather conditions (heavy rain, snow,
fog, or extremely hot or cold
temperatures) are interfering with sensor
operation.
To Pause Parking
• The sensors are affected by other
electrical equipment or devices that
generate ultrasonic waves.
To pause Autopark, press the brake pedal
once. Model 3 stops and remains stopped
until you touch Resume on the touchscreen.
WARNING: Many unforeseen
circumstances can impair Autopark's
ability to park Model 3. Keep this in
mind and remember that as a result,
Autopark may not steer Model 3
appropriately. Pay attention when
parking Model 3 and stay prepared to
immediately take control.
To Cancel Parking
Autopark cancels the parking sequence when
you manually move the steering wheel,
change gears, or touch Cancel on the
touchscreen. Autopark also cancels parking
when:
• The parking sequence exceeds seven
moves.
• Model 3 detects that the driver is exiting
the vehicle.
• A door is opened.
• You press the accelerator pedal.
• You press the brake pedal while Autopark
is paused.
• An Automatic Emergency Braking event
occurs (see Collision Avoidance Assist on
page 146).
Limitations
Autopark is particularly unlikely to operate as
intended in these situations:
• The road is sloped. Autopark is designed
to operate on flat roads only.
• Visibility is poor (due to heavy rain, snow,
fog, etc.).
• The curb is constructed of material other
than stone, or the curb cannot be
detected.
