Autopark - Tesla MODEL X 2021 Owner's Manual

NOTE: Depending on market region, vehicle
configuration, options purchased, and
software version, your vehicle may not be
equipped with Autopark.
Autopark uses data from the cameras and
ultrasonic sensors and GPS to simplify
parking on public roads by maneuvering
Model X into parallel and perpendicular
parking spaces.
CAUTION: Ensure all cameras and
sensors are clean. Dirty cameras and
sensors, as well as environmental
conditions such as rain and faded lane
markings, can affect Autopilot
performance.
WARNING: Autopark's performance
depends on the ability of the cameras
and ultrasonic sensors to determine
the vehicle's proximity to curbs,
objects, and other vehicles.
WARNING: Do not use Autopark if
anything, such as a ball hitch, bike
rack, or trailer, is attached to the tow
hitch. Autopark may not stop for
hitches when parking between or in
front of other vehicles.
Parameters
Autopark detects potential parking spaces
based on the following parameters:
Perpendicular Parking
• Your driving speed must be below 8 mph
(13 km/h). If driving too fast, Autopark
may not be able to accurately detect your
desired parking space.
• The parking space must be at least 7.2
feet (2.2 meters) wide.
• The parking space must have at least
three visible lines for the vehicle to park
into, such as parking lines, road markings,
or distinct curbs. Autopark may not work
in a garage, for example, without three
visible parking lines.
• Autopark may not work with textured
road surfaces such as cobblestone or
brick.
Parallel Parking
Autopilot

Autopark

• Your driving speed must be below 13 mph
(21 km/h). If driving too fast, Autopark
may not be able to accurately detect your
desired parking space.
• There must be a vehicle in front of the
space you want to park in.
• A distinct curb or edge must be visible.
Autopark may not correctly identify the
parking space if the curb is not distinct,
such as grass or dirt.
NOTE: Autopark does not operate on angled
parking spaces.
To Use Autopark
When driving, follow these steps to allow
Autopark to maneuver Model X into a parking
space:
1. While driving slowly on a public road,
monitor the instrument panel to
determine when Autopark has detected a
parking space. The instrument panel will
display a parking icon if the vehicle
detects a potential parking spot.
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
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
one car length ahead of the parking space
(as you normally would when parallel
parking or when backing into a
perpendicular parking space).
