This feature may be temporarily limited or inactive until
it is enabled with a future software update for vehicles
manufactured as of approximately October 2022.
NOTE: Depending on market region, vehicle
configuration, options purchased, and software version,
your vehicle may not be equipped with Autopark.
Autopark uses data to simplify parking on public roads by maneuvering
Model Y into parallel and perpendicular
parking spaces.
CAUTION: Ensure all cameras and sensors (if
equipped) are clean. Dirty cameras and sensors, as
well as environmental conditions such as rain and
faded lane markings, can affect Autopilot
performance.

manufactured as of approximately October 2022.
NOTE: Depending on market region, vehicle
configuration, options purchased, and software version,
your vehicle may not be equipped with Summon, or the
feature may not operate exactly as described.
Summon allows you to automatically park and retrieve
Model Y while you are standing outside the vehicle.
Summon moves
Model Y forward and reverse up to 39
feet (12 meters) in, or out of, a parking space.
To move Model Y a longer distance while steering
around objects, you can use Smart Summon
(if
equipped) and your mobile phone. Smart Summon
allows your vehicle to
find you (or you can send your
vehicle to a chosen location). See
Smart Summon on
page 116.
CAUTION: Ensure all cameras and sensors (if
equipped) are clean. Dirty cameras and sensors, as
well as environmental conditions such as rain and
faded lane markings, can affect Autopilot
performance.
WARNING: Summon is designed and intended for
use only on parking lots and driveways on private
property where the surrounding area is familiar
and predictable.

continually monitor the vehicle and its
surroundings and stay prepared to take immediate
action at any time. It is the driver

Wi-Fi is available as a data connection method and is often faster than cellular data networks. Connecting to Wi-Fi is especially useful in areas with limited or no
cellular connectivity. To ensure fast, reliable delivery of software and map updates, Tesla recommends leaving
Model Y connected to a Wi-Fi network whenever
possible (for example, when parked overnight).
To connect to a Wi-Fi network:
1.
Touch Controls > Wi-Fi icon at the top of the
Controls screen. Model Y begins to scan and display
detected Wi-Fi networks that are within range.
When connected to Wi-Fi, the Wi-Fi icon displays at
the top of the touchscreen.
NOTE: If a known Wi-Fi network does not appear in
the list, move
Model Y closer to the access point or
consider using a range extender.
NOTE: When connecting to a 5GHz network (if
available), check which channels are supported in your region.
5GHz Network Channels Supported36-4852-64100-140149-165FFFF2.
Select the Wi-Fi network you want to use, enter the password (if necessary), then touch
Confirm.

NOTE: For vehicles with Lithium Iron Phosphate
(LFP) high voltage Batteries, Tesla recommends you keep your charge limit to 100%, even for daily use,
and that you also fully charge your vehicle to 100% at
least once per week. To determine if your vehicle is
equipped with an LFP battery, navigate to
Controls >
Software > Additional Vehicle Information. If your
vehicle has an LFP Battery, "High Voltage Battery type: Lithium Iron Phosphate" is listed. If your vehicle
does not have an LFP Battery, the high voltage Battery type is not
specified. See Lithium Iron
Phosphate Batteries on page 167 for more
information.
NOTE: A portion of the battery image may appear
blue. This indicates that a small portion of the energy
stored in the battery is not available because the battery is cold. This is normal and no reason for concern. When the battery warms up, the blue portion no longer displays.
