Autopilot.
Drive to Calibrate Cameras
Model 3 must maneuver with a great deal of
precision when Autopilot features are being
used. Therefore, before some features (for
example,
Trac-Aware Cruise Control or
Autosteer) can be used for the first time or
after certain Service repairs, the cameras
must complete a self-calibration process. For
your convenience, a progress indicator is
displayed on the
touchscreen.
Calibration typically completes after driving
32-40 km, but the distance varies depending
on road and environmental conditions.
Driving on a straight road with highly-visible
lane lines allows Model 3 to calibrate quicker.
When calibration is complete, the Autopilot
features are available for use. Contact Tesla
only if your
Model 3 has not completed the
calibration process after driving 160 km.
NOTE: If you attempt to use a feature that is
not available until the calibration process is
complete, the feature will not be enabled and
the touchscreen displays a message.
NOTE: Model 3 must repeat the calibration
process if the cameras are serviced by Tesla,
and in some cases, after a software update.
Limitations
Many factors can impact the performance of
Autopilot components, causing them to be
unable to function as intended. These include
(but are not limited to):
• Poor visibility (due to heavy rain, snow,
fog, etc.).
• Bright light (due to oncoming headlights,
direct sunlight, etc.).
• Damage or obstructions caused by mud,
ice, snow, etc.
• Interference or obstruction by object(s)
mounted onto the vehicle (such as a bike
rack).
• Obstruction caused by applying excessive
paint or adhesive products (such as wraps,
stickers, rubber coating, etc.) onto the
vehicle.
• Narrow or winding roads.
• A damaged or misaligned bumper.
• Interference from other equipment that
generates ultrasonic waves.
• Extremely hot or cold temperatures.
