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 X 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 aect Autopilot
performance.
WARNING: Autopark's performance depends on
the ability of the cameras and sensors (if
equipped) to determine the vehicle's proximity to
curbs, objects, and other vehicles.
WARNING: Do not use Autopark if anything, such
as a ball hitch, bike rack, or trailer, is attached to
the tow hitch. Autopark may not stop for hitches
when parking between or in front of other vehicles.
Parameters
Autopark detects potential parking spaces based on the
following parameters:
Perpendicular Parking
•
Your driving speed must be below 8 mph (13 km/h). If
driving too fast, Autopark may not be able to
accurately detect your desired parking space.
•
The parking space must be at least 7.2 feet (2.2
meters) wide.
•
The parking space must have at least three visible
lines for the vehicle to park into, such as parking lines,
road markings, or distinct curbs. Autopark may not
work in a garage, for example, without three visible
parking lines.
•
Autopark may not work with textured road surfaces
such as cobblestone or brick.
Parallel Parking
•
Your driving speed must be below 13 mph (21 km/h).
If driving too fast, Autopark may not be able to
accurately detect your desired parking space.
•
There must be a vehicle in front of the space you
want to park in.
• A distinct curb or edge must be visible. Autopark
may not correctly identify the parking space if the
curb is not distinct, such as grass or dirt.
NOTE: Autopark does not operate on angled parking
spaces.
To Use Autopark
When driving, follow these steps to allow Autopark to
maneuver Model X into a parking space:
1.
While driving slowly on a public road, monitor the
instrument panel to determine when Autopark has
detected a parking space. The instrument panel will
display a parking icon if the vehicle detects a
potential parking spot.
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.
2. Check to determine if the detected parking space is
appropriate and safe. Pull forward and stop
approximately one 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 yoke (or steering wheel), then
touch and hold Autopark in the drive mode strip on
the touchscreen. You can release the button once
Autopark engages.
4.
Autopark displays a message when parking is
complete.
NOTE: If you press the brake pedal when Autopark is
actively parking
Model X, the parking process pauses
until you touch Resume on the touchscreen.
WARNING:
Never depend on Autopark to find a
parking space that is legal, suitable, and safe.
Autopark may not always detect objects in the
parking space. Always perform visual checks to
confirm that a parking space is appropriate and
safe.
WARNING:
When Autopark is actively steering
Model X, the steering yoke (or steering wheel)
moves in accordance with Autopark's adjustments.
Do not interfere with the movement of the steering
yoke (or steering wheel). Doing so cancels
Autopark.
WARNING:
During the parking sequence,
continually check your surroundings. Be prepared
to apply the brakes to avoid vehicles, pedestrians,
or objects.
WARNING:
When Autopark is active, monitor the
touchscreen and instrument panel to ensure that
you are aware of the instructions that Autopark is
providing.
