How Park Assist Works
Model Y has several sensors designed to detect the
presence of objects. When driving slowly in Drive or
Reverse (for example, when parking), the vehicle alerts
you if an object is detected in close proximity of your
Model Y. 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 Y rolls
freely in the opposite direction of the selected
gear (for example, Park Assist does not display an
alert if Model Y 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 Y is in trailer mode.
WARNING: Never depend on Park Assist to inform
you if an area you are approaching is 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 65).
Therefore, depending on Park Assist to determine
if Model Y 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
touchscreen, showing objects that are in close
proximity to the front and rear of
Model Y. This view
closes when you shift into Drive unless an object is
detected close to the front of
Model Y, 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 (see
Rear
View Camera on page 69). You can manually close the
park assist view on the touchscreen by touching the
X in
the bottom 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 65), 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.
Park Assist
64MODEL Y Owner

Your Bluetooth device begins playing the audio file that
is currently active on your device, and Media Player displays the Miniplayer view. If no audio
file is playing on
your device, use your device to choose the audio
file you
want to listen to. When the chosen
file begins to play,
you can then use Miniplayer

Boombox
Boombox, an app in Toybox, uses the Pedestrian Warning System (PWS) speakers to play custom audio externally
while the vehicle is parked, when you press the horn,
drive the car, or when the vehicle is moving with Summon.
When Boombox is enabled, external volume cannot be controlled, except when you choose
Play Current Media. You
can customize the sounds by plugging in a specifcally-formatted USB drive (see
Formatting a USB drive for
Boombox on page ).
NOTE: Check local laws before use in public spaces.
