Autopark - Tesla MODEL 3 2020 Owner's Manual

Autopark

Autopark (if equipped) uses data from the
ultrasonic sensors and GPS to simplify
parking on public roads by maneuvering
Model 3 into parallel and perpendicular
parking spaces. See To Use Autopark on page
126.
CAUTION: Ensure all cameras and
sensors are clean. Unclean 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
ultrasonic sensors to determine the
vehicle's proximity to curbs, objects,
and other vehicles.
To Use Autopark
When driving, follow these steps to allow
Autopark to maneuver Model 3 into a parking
space:
1. When driving slowly on a public road,
monitor the touchscreen to determine
when Autopark has detected a parking
space. When Autopark detects a potential
parking space, the touchscreen displays a
parking icon. Autopark detects parallel
parking locations when driving below 24
km/h and perpendicular parking locations
when driving below 16 km/h.
126
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 a car
length ahead of the parking space (as you
normally would when parallel parking or
when backing into a perpendicular parking
space).
3. Release the steering wheel, shift Model 3
into Reverse, then touch Start Autopark on
the touchscreen.
4. When parking is complete, Autopark
displays the "Complete" message.
In situations where Autopark cannot operate
due to inadequate sensor data, the
touchscreen displays a message indicating
that you must manually park Model 3.
NOTE: If you press the brake when Autopark
is actively parking Model 3, the parking
process pauses until you touch Resume on
the touchscreen.
NOTE: Autopark detects potential
perpendicular parking spaces that are at least
2.9 meters wide with a vehicle parked on
each side. Autopark detects parallel parking
spaces that are at least 6 meters, but less
than 9 meters long. Autopark does not
operate on angled parking spaces.
WARNING: Never depend on
Autopark to find a parking space that
is legal, suitable, and safe. Autopark
may not always detect objects in the
parking space. Always perform visual
checks to confirm that a parking
space is appropriate and safe.
WARNING: When Autopark is actively
steering Model 3, the steering wheel
moves in accordance with Autopark's
adjustments. Do not interfere with the
movement of the steering wheel.
Doing so cancels Autopark.
