Park Assist
Limitations and False Warnings
The parking sensors may not function
correctly in these situations:
• One or more of the parking sensors is
damaged, dirty, or covered (such as mud,
ice, or snow).
• The object is located below approximately
8 inches (20 cm) (such as a curb or low
barrier).
Caution: Shorter objects that are
detected (such as curbs or low
barriers) can move into the blind spot
of the sensors. Model 3 cannot alert
you about an object while it is in the
blind spot of the sensors.
• Weather conditions (heavy rain, snow, or
fog) are interfering with sensor operation.
• The object is thin (such as a sign post).
• A sensor's operating range has been
exceeded.
• The object is sound-absorbing or soft
(such as powder snow).
• The object is sloped (such as a sloped
embankment).
• Model 3 has been parked in, or being
driven in, extremely hot or cold
temperatures.
• The sensors are affected by other
electrical equipment or devices that
generate ultrasonic waves.
• The object is located too close to the
bumper.
• A bumper is misaligned or damaged.
• An object that is mounted to Model 3 is
interfering with and/or obstructing the
sensor (such as a bike rack or bumper
sticker).
Other Parking Aids
In addition to Park Assist, when shifted into
Reverse, the backup camera displays a view of
the area behind Model 3 (see
Camera on page 53).
