Park Assist - Tesla MODEL X 2021 Owner's Manual

How Park Assist Works
Model X has several sensors designed to
detect the presence of objects. When driving
slowly in Drive or Reverse (for example, when
parking), the vehicle alerts you if an object is
detected in close proximity of your Model X.
Objects are only detected in your chosen
direction; front objects in Drive, rear objects
in Reverse.
WARNING: You may not be alerted if
Model X rolls freely in the opposite
direction (for example, Park Assist
does not display an alert if Model X
rolls backwards down a hill while in
Drive).
The sensors are activated when driving slower
than 5 mph (8 km/h).
Driving

Park Assist

NOTE: Rear sensors are disabled when a
bicycle is detected or Model X 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
False Warnings on page
Therefore, depending on Park Assist
to determine if Model X 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 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.
Visual and Audio Feedback
When you shift to Reverse, the Park Assist
view displays on the left side of the
instrument panel, showing objects that are in
close proximity to the front and rear of
Model X. This view closes when you shift into
Drive unless an object is detected close to the
front of Model X, in which case the Park
Assist view closes automatically when your
driving speed exceeds 5 mph (8 km/h). When
reversing, visual feedback also displays on the
touchscreen (see Rear Facing Camera(s) on
page 88). You can manually close the park
assist view on the touchscreen by touching
the X.
