Tesla MODEL 3 2012 - Page 133

• Visibility is poor and lane markings are
not clearly visible (due to heavy rain,
snow, fog, etc.). The exact detection zone
of the ultrasonic sensors (if equipped)
varies depending on environmental
conditions.
• Bright light (such as from oncoming
headlights or direct sunlight) is interfering
with the view of the camera(s).
• A vehicle in front of Model 3 is blocking
the view of the camera(s).
• The windshield is obstructing the view of
the camera(s) (fogged over, dirty, covered
by a sticker, etc.).
•
Lane markings are excessively worn, have
visible previous markings, have been
adjusted due to road construction, or are
changing quickly (for example, lanes
branching
o, crossing over, or merging).
•
The road is narrow or winding.
•
Objects or landscape features are casting
strong shadows on lane markers.
Lane Assist may not provide warnings, or may
apply inappropriate warnings, in these
situations:
•
One or more of the ultrasonic sensors (if
equipped) or cameras is damaged, dirty,
or obstructed (by mud, ice, or snow, or by
a vehicle bra, excessive paint, or adhesive
products such as wraps, stickers, rubber
coatings, etc.).
•
Weather conditions (heavy rain, snow,
fog, or extremely hot or cold
temperatures) are interfering with sensor
operation.
• The sensors (if equipped) are aected by
other electrical equipment or devices that
generate ultrasonic waves.
• An object that is mounted to Model 3 is
interfering with and/or obstructing a
sensor (such as a bike rack or a bumper
sticker).
In addition, Lane Assist may not steer Model 3
away from an adjacent vehicle, or may apply
unnecessary or inappropriate steering, in
these situations:
•
You are driving Model 3 on sharp corners
or on a curve at a relatively high speed.
• Bright light (such as from oncoming
headlights or direct sunlight) is interfering
with the view of the camera(s).
• You are drifting into another lane but an
object (such as a vehicle) is not present.
• A vehicle in another lane cuts in front of
you or drifts into your driving lane.
•
Model 3 is not traveling within the speeds
at which the Lane Assist feature is
designed to operate.
• One or more of the ultrasonic sensors (if
equipped) is damaged, dirty, or
obstructed (such as by mud, ice, or snow,
or by a vehicle bra, excessive paint, or
adhesive products such as wraps, stickers,
rubber coating, etc.).
•
Weather conditions (heavy rain, snow,
fog, or extremely hot or cold
temperatures) are interfering with sensor
operation.
•
The sensors (if equipped) are aected by
other electrical equipment or devices that
generate ultrasonic waves.
•
An object mounted to Model 3 (such as a
bike rack or a bumper sticker) is
interfering with or obstructing a sensor.
•
Visibility is poor and lane markings are
not clearly visible (due to heavy rain,

WARNING:
The lists above do not
represent every possible situation that
may interfere with Lane Assist
features. There are many reasons why
Lane Assist may not operate as
intended. To avoid a collision, stay
alert and always pay attention to the
road so you can anticipate the need to
take corrective action as early as
possible.
