If Model S is equipped with Driver Assistance
components (see About Driver Assistance on
page 65), and you have purchased the
optional Autopilot Tech Package, Autopark
uses data from ultrasonic sensors and the
Global Positioning System (GPS) to:
• Simplify parking on public roads by
maneuvering Model S into parallel and
perpendicular parking spaces. See Parking
on Public Roads on page 78.
• Automatically park and retrieve Model S
from outside the vehicle on a private
residential property. See Using Summon
on page 80.
Warning: Summon is a BETA feature.
Please use this feature with caution,
staying prepared to take immediate
action at any time.
Warning: Autopark's performance
depends on the ability of the ultrasonic
sensors to determine the vehicle's
proximity to curbs, objects, and other
vehicles.
Parking on Public Roads
When driving, follow these steps to allow
Autopark to maneuver Model S into a parking
space:
1. When driving slowly on a public road,
monitor the instrument panel to
determine when Autopark has detected a
potential parking space. When Autopark
detects a parking space, the instrument
panel displays a parking icon. Autopark
detects parallel parking locations when
driving below 15 mph (24 km/h) and
perpendicular parking locations when
driving below 10 mph (16 km/h).
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 dierent
parking space, or park manually.
Note: If the Autopark icon does not
appear at potential parking spaces when
driving at the indicated speed, it is
possible that Autopark is calibrating.
Autopark requires a calibration process
when Model S is new, or when tires are
changed (see Calibration on page 79).
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, engage the
Reverse gear and 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 instrument
panels displays an alert message indicating
that you must manually park Model S.
