Park Assist
How Park Assist Works
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 sensors, or too close or too
far from the sensors. 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.
If Model S is equipped with the Park Assist
option, both the front and rear bumpers
include several sensors. When moving slowly
in Drive or Reverse, the sensors alert you if an
object is detected close to the front or rear
bumper, respectively.
Warning: The Park Assist images
provided below are representative only.
The exact number and location of Park
Assist sensors may vary depending on
the date your Model S was manufactured.
Visual and Audio Feedback
Whenever Model S is moving slowly in
Reverse or Drive at a speed of less than 3 mph
(4.8
km/h) , the left side of the instrument
panel provides feedback to alert you if an
object is detected near the corresponding
back or front bumper. When reversing, visual
feedback also displays on the touchscreen,
immediately below the camera view (see Rear
View Camera on page 64).
If chimes are turned on (see Controlling
Audible Feedback on page 54), an audible
beep sounds as you approach an object. You
can temporarily mute the chime by pressing
the scroll wheel on the left side of the steering
wheel.
Note: If a sensor is unable to provide
feedback, the instrument panel displays an
alert message.
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.
When driving less than 3 mph (4.8 km/h), the
sensors are activated.
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 off,
touch Controls > Settings > Safety &
Security > Park Assist Chimes.
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
You can also mute the chimes temporarily by
pressing the scroll wheel on the left side of
the steering wheel. The chimes are muted
until you shift into a different gear or drive
over 3 mph (4.8 km/h).

Therefore, depending on Park
Assist to determine if Model S is
approaching an obstruction can result in
