Park Assist Limitations and False Warnings The parking sensors may not function correctly in these situations: • One or more of the parking sensors is damaged, dirty, or covered (such as mud, ice, or snow). • The object is located below approximately 8 inches (20 cm) (such as a curb or low barrier). Caution: Shorter objects that are detected (such as curbs or low barriers) can move into the blind spot of the sensors. Model 3 cannot alert you about an object while it is in the blind spot of the sensors. • Weather conditions (heavy rain, snow, or fog) are interfering with sensor operation. • The object is thin (such as a sign post). • A sensor†s operating range has been exceeded. • The object is sound-absorbing or soft (such as powder snow). • The object is sloped (such as a sloped embankment). • Model 3 has been parked in, or being driven in, extremely hot or cold temperatures. • The sensors are affected by other electrical equipment or devices that generate ultrasonic waves. • The object is located too close to the bumper. • A bumper is misaligned or damaged. • An object that is mounted to Model 3 is interfering with and/or obstructing the sensor (such as a bike rack or bumper sticker). Other Parking Aids In addition to Park Assist, when shifted into Reverse, the backup camera displays a view of the area behind Model 3 (see Rear View Camera on page 53). 50 Model 3 Owner's Manual
