Get Warm and cold Guide for Tesla Model-3 4 Door First Generation (2017-2023)

Autopark

NOTE: Depending on market region, vehicle

conﬁguration, options purchased, and

software version, your vehicle may not be

equipped with Autopark.

NOTE: The parking icon appears only if

the vehicle's position and/or the

circumstances of the surrounding area are

such that Autopark can determine an

appropriate driving path. If Autopark

cannot determine an appropriate path

(for example, when driving on a narrow

street where moving into the parking

space causes the front of the vehicle to

extend into the adjacent lane), you can

either reposition the vehicle, ﬁnd a

Autopark uses data from the ultrasonic

sensors and GPS to simplify parking on public

roads by maneuvering Model 3 into parallel

and perpendicular parking spaces. See To Use

Autopark on page 133.

CAUTION: Ensure all cameras and

sensors are clean. Unclean cameras

and sensors, as well as environmental

conditions such as rain and faded lane

markings, can aﬀect Autopilot

performance.

diﬀerent parking space, or park manually.

2. Check to determine if the detected

parking space is appropriate and safe. If

so, pull forward and stop approximately a

car length ahead of the parking space (as

you normally would when parallel parking

or when backing into a perpendicular

parking space).

WARNING: Autopark's performance

depends on the ability of the

ultrasonic sensors to determine the

vehicle's proximity to curbs, objects,

and other vehicles.

3. Release the steering wheel, shift Model 3

into Reverse, then touch Start Autopark

on the touchscreen.

To Use Autopark

4. When parking is complete, Autopark

displays the "Complete" message.

When driving, follow these steps to allow

Autopark to maneuver Model 3 into a parking

space:

In situations where Autopark cannot operate

due to inadequate sensor data, the

touchscreen displays a message indicating

that you must manually park Model 3.

1. When driving slowly on a public road,

monitor the touchscreen to determine

when Autopark has detected a parking

space. When Autopark detects a potential

parking space, the touchscreen displays a

parking icon. Autopark detects parallel

parking locations when driving below 15

mph (24 km/h) and perpendicular

parking locations when driving below 10

mph (16 km/h).

NOTE: If you press the brake when Autopark

is actively parking Model 3, the parking

process pauses until you touch Resume on

the touchscreen.

NOTE: Autopark detects potential

perpendicular parking spaces that are at least

9.5 feet (2.9 meters) wide with a vehicle

parked on each side. Autopark detects

parallel parking spaces that are at least 20

feet (6 meters), but less than 30 feet (9

meters) long. Autopark does not operate on

angled parking spaces.

WARNING: Never depend on

Autopark to ﬁnd a parking space that

is legal, suitable, and safe. Autopark

may not always detect objects in the

parking space. Always perform visual

checks to conﬁrm that a parking

space is appropriate and safe.

WARNING: When Autopark is actively

steering Model 3, the steering wheel

moves in accordance with Autopark's

adjustments. Do not interfere with the

movement of the steering wheel.

Doing so cancels Autopark.

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.
