Autopark
To Pause Parking
To pause Autopark, press the brake pedal once. Model S
stops and remains stopped until you touch Resume on
the touchscreen.
To Cancel Parking
Autopark cancels the parking sequence when you
manually move the steering wheel, shift, or touch Cancel
on the touchscreen. Autopark also cancels parking
when:
• The parking sequence exceeds seven moves.
• Model S 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
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.
• 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, or
by a vehicle bra, excessive paint, or adhesive
products such as wraps, stickers, rubber coating,
etc.).
• Weather conditions (heavy rain, snow, fog, or
extremely hot or cold temperatures) are interfering
with sensor operation.
• The sensors are affected by other electrical
equipment or devices that generate ultrasonic waves.
WARNING: Many unforeseen circumstances can
impair Autopark's ability to park Model S. Keep
this in mind and remember that as a result,
Autopark may not steer Model S appropriately. Pay
attention when parking Model S and stay prepared
to immediately take control.
