Tesla Model Y: Parking with a Trailer
Whenever possible, avoid parking on a grade. However, if parking on a grade
is absolutely necessary, place wheel chocks under the trailer wheels. Consider
having someone help you with these steps:
- One person presses and holds the brake pedal.
- A second person places the wheel chocks under the
wheels on the downgrade side of the vehicle's tires.
- When the chocks are in place, release the brake pedal
and ensure the chocks hold the weight of the vehicle
and trailer.
NOTE: When testing chocks, ensure that Vehicle Hold
(see Vehicle Hold) is not engaged. If
Vehicle Hold is braking Model Y, the Vehicle Hold
indicator light displays on the instrument panel. To
disengage Vehicle Hold, press and release the brake
pedal.
- Place the vehicle in Park.
WARNING: If parking on a grade is necessary,
always ensure that all trailer wheels have been
securely chocked. Failure to do so can result in
serious damage, injury, or death.
Trailer Sway Mitigation
When trailer sway is detected, the Model Y electronic stability control
system attempts to apply the appropriate amount of braking to minimize trailer
sway. The instrument panel briefly displays the traction control system
indicator. Pressing the brake pedal when the system is actively braking to
mitigate trailer sway does not cancel this automatic braking.
