Tesla Model 3 - Page 92

• An Automatic Emergency Braking event occurs (see
Collision Avoidance Assist on page 113).
When Autosteer cancels, it sounds chimes and the
Autosteer icon either turns gray to indicate that
Autosteer is no longer active, or disappears to indicate
that it is not currently available.
NOTE: If Autosteer cancels because you started
steering manually, Trac-Aware Cruise Control remains
active. Disengage Trac-Aware Cruise Control as you
normally would, by moving the drive stalk upward or
pressing the brake pedal.
NOTE: If you move the drive stalk upward and hold it up
for more than one second, Model 3 shifts into Neutral
after canceling Autosteer.
To disable Autosteer so it is no longer available, touch
Controls > Autopilot > Autosteer (Beta).
Auto Lane Change
NOTE: Depending on market region, vehicle
configuration, options purchased, and software version,
your vehicle may not be equipped with Auto Lane
Change.
When Autosteer is active on a vehicle equipped with
Auto Lane Change, you can use the turn signals to
move
Model 3 into an adjacent lane without moving the
steering wheel (which would cancel Autosteer).
WARNING:
It is the driver's responsibility to
determine whether a lane change is safe and
appropriate. Therefore, before initiating a lane
change, always check blind spots, lane markings,
and the surrounding roadway to confirm it is safe
and appropriate to move into the target lane.
WARNING:
Never depend on Auto Lane Change
to determine an appropriate driving path. Drive
attentively by watching the road and trac ahead
of you, checking the surrounding area, and
monitoring the touchscreen for warnings. Always
be prepared to take immediate action.
WARNING:
Do not use Auto Lane Change on city
streets or on roads where trac conditions are
constantly changing and where bicycles and
pedestrians are present.
WARNING:
The performance of Auto Lane
Change depends on the ability of the camera(s)
to recognize lane markings.
WARNING:
Do not use Auto Lane Change on
winding roads with sharp curves, on icy or
slippery roads, or when weather conditions (such
as heavy rain, snow, fog, etc.) may be obstructing
the view from the camera(s) or sensors.
WARNING:
Failure to follow all warnings and
instructions can result in property damage,
serious injury or death.
Operating Auto Lane Change
Auto Lane Change is available whenever Autosteer is
active. To change lanes using Auto Lane Change:
1. Perform visual checks to make sure it is safe and
appropriate to move into the target lane
2. Fully engage the appropriate turn signal.
3. Disengage the turn signal after you are in the target
lane.
Auto Lane Change moves Model 3 into the adjacent
lane in the direction indicated by the turn signal,
provided the following conditions are met:
• The turn signal is fully engaged.
• The ultrasonic sensors and Autopilot cameras do not
detect a vehicle or obstacle up to the center of the
target lane.
• The lane markings indicate that a lane change is
permitted.
•
The view of the camera(s) is not obstructed.
•
Your vehicle does not detect another vehicle in its
blind spot.
•
Midway through the lane change, Auto Lane Change
can detect the outside lane marking of the target
lane.
•
Driving speed is at least 30 mph (45 km/h).
As the lane change is in progress, Overtake
Acceleration is activated, allowing Model 3 to accelerate
closer to a vehicle in front (see
Overtake Acceleration
on page 86). Midway through the lane change, Auto
Lane Change must detect the target lane's outside lane
marking. If this lane marking cannot be detected, the
lane change is aborted and
Model 3 returns to its
original driving lane.
NOTE: Auto Lane Change moves Model 3 one lane at a
time. Moving into an additional lane requires you to
engage the turn signal a second time after the
first lane
change is complete.
When using Auto Lane Change, it is important to
monitor its performance by watching the driving path in
front of you and the surrounding area. Stay prepared to
take over steering at any time. As you are crossing over
into the adjacent lane, the
touchscreen displays the lane
marking as a dashed blue line. Once in your new lane,
lane markings are displayed as solid blue lines again.
In situations where Auto Lane Change is unable to
operate at optimal performance, or cannot operate due
to inadequate data, the
touchscreen displays a series of
warnings. Therefore, when using Auto Lane Change,
always pay attention to the touchscreen and be
prepared to manually steer
Model 3.
