Park Assist
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 sensors alert you if an object is
detected in close proximity of your Model X.
Objects are only detected in the direction of
the gear you selected; front objects in Drive,
rear objects in Reverse.
Warning: You may not be alerted if
Model X rolls freely in the opposite
direction of the gear you selected (for
example, you will not receive 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).
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 approachingis free of objects and/or people. Several
external factors can reduce the
performance of Park Assist, causing
either no readings or false readings (see
Limitations and False Warnings on page
82). 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, immediately below the camera
view (see Rear View Camera on page 89).
You can manually close the park assist view on
the touchscreen by touching the X in the
upper corner.
When driving with the Camera app displayed
on the touchscreen, you can switch to the
Park Assist view when driving at speeds below
5 mph (8 km/h). Touch the button located in the upper left corner of the Camera app
window. This is useful if you need assistance
with parallel parking.
If chimes are turned on (see Controlling
Audible Feedback on page 82), an audible
beep sounds as you approach an object. You
can temporarily mute the chime by pressing
the scroll button on the left side of the
steering wheel or by touching the mute button on the bottom left corner of the Park Assist
view.
Note: If a sensor is unable to provide
feedback, the instrument panel displays an
alert message.

Rear View Camera
Camera Location
Model X is equipped with a rear view camera
located above the rear license plate.
Whenever you shift into Reverse, the
touchscreen displays the view from the
camera. Lines show your driving path based
on the position of the steering wheel. These
lines adjust appropriately as you move the
steering wheel.
Note: Visual feedback from the parking
sensors display on the instrument panel (see Park Assist on page 81).
To display the view from the camera at any
time:
Open the app launcher then
touch the camera icon.Warning: Never depend on the rear view
camera to inform you if the area behind
you is free of objects and/or people when
reversing. The camera may not detect
objects or barriers that can potentially
cause damage or injury. In addition, several external factors can reduce the
performance of the camera, including a
dirty or obstructed lens. Therefore,
depending on the rear view camera 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. Use the camera forguidance purposes only. It is not intendedto replace your own direct visual checks
and is not a substitute for careful driving.Cleaning the Camera
To ensure a clear picture, keep the camera lens clean, and free of obstructions. Remove any
buildup of dirt by occasionally wiping the
camera lens with a soft damp cloth.Caution: Do not use chemical-based or
abrasive cleaners. Doing so can damage
the surface of the camera lens.

Autopilot
About Autopilot
How It Works Your Model X includes the following Autopilot components that actively monitor the surrounding
roadway:
1. A camera is mounted above the rear license plate.
2. Ultrasonic sensors are located in the front and rear bumpers.
3. A camera is mounted in each door pillar.
4. Three cameras are mounted to the windshield above the rear view mirror.
5. A camera is mounted to each front fender.
6. Radar is mounted behind the front bumper.
Model X is also equipped with high precision electronically-assisted braking and steering systems.

This will ensure appropriate handling and
mounting of the camera(s). Failure to do
so can cause one or more Autopilot
features to malfunction.
Cleaning Cameras and Sensors
To ensure the various Autopilot components
can provide information that is as accurate as
possible, keep them clean and free of
obstructions or damage. Occasionally remove
any buildup of dirt by wiping the components
with a soft cloth dampened with warm water.
Caution: Do not use chemical-based or
abrasive cleaners. Doing so can damage
surfaces.Caution: Avoid using a high-pressure
power washer.Caution: Do not clean an ultrasonic sensor
or camera lens with a sharp or abrasive
object that can scratch or damage its
surface.

Lane Assist
The Autopilot cameras and ultrasonic sensors
monitor the markers on the lane you are
driving in as well as the areas surrounding Model X for the presence of vehicles or other
objects.
When an object is detected in your blind spot
or close to the side of Model X (such as a
vehicle, guard rail, etc.), colored lines radiate
from the image of your vehicle on the
instrument panel. The location of the lines
correspond to the location of the detected object. The color of the lines (white, yellow,
orange, or red) represent the object
