Camera Location
Model S 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.
Model S also displays images from the side cameras. To
view these images, simply swipe downward when the
view from the rear view camera is displayed.
NOTE: You may need to expand the camera window to
full page view to see the images from the side cameras.
NOTE: Visual feedback from the parking sensors also
appear on the instrument panel (see Park Assist on page
64).
To display the view from the cameras at any time:
Open the app launcher then touch the
camera icon.
WARNING:
Never depend on the cameras to
inform you if the area behind you is free of objects
and/or people when reversing. The cameras may
not detect objects or barriers that can potentially
cause damage or injury. In addition, several
external factors can reduce the performance of the
cameras, including a dirty or obstructed lens.
Therefore, depending on the cameras to determine
if Model S 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
cameras for guidance purposes only. It is not
intended to replace your own direct visual checks
and is not a substitute for careful driving.
Cleaning a Camera
To ensure a clear picture, the camera lens must be 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
lens.
