Stop Light and Stop Sign Warning
NOTE: Depending on market region, vehicle
configuration, options purchased, and software version,
your vehicle may not be equipped with Stop Light and
Stop Sign Warning.
While Autosteer is in use, Model 3 displays a warning on
the
touchscreen and sounds a chime if it detects that
you are likely to run through a red stop light or stop
sign. If this happens, TAKE IMMEDIATE CORRECTIVE
ACTION!
The visual and audible warnings cancel after a few
seconds, or when you press the brake pedal, whichever
comes first.
Stop Light and Stop Sign Warning provides warnings
only. It makes no attempt to slow down or stop Model 3
at red trac lights, stop signs, road markings, etc. If your
vehicle is equipped with Trac Light and Stop Sign
Control, you can enable this feature to automatically
stop Model 3 at trac lights and stop signs (see Trac
Light and Stop Sign Control on page 95).
NOTE: Touch Controls > Autopilot > Full Self-Driving
Visualization Preview (if equipped) to display more
details about the roadway and its surroundings, such as
road markings, stop lights, objects (such as trash cans
and poles), etc.
CAUTION:
Stop Light and Stop Sign Warning
requires the vehicle’s map to know that a
particular stop light or stop sign exists in a certain
location. It may be unaware of new stop lights or
stop signs that are not captured in the map data.
Therefore, Stop Light and Stop Sign Warning may
not detect all stop lights and stop signs due to
potential map inaccuracies.
WARNING:
Stop Light and Stop Sign Warning do
not apply the brakes or decelerate Model 3 and
may not detect all stop lights and stop signs. Stop
Light and Stop Sign Warning are designed for
guidance purposes only and are not a substitute
for attentive driving and sound judgment. Keep
your eyes on the road when driving and never
depend on Stop Light and Stop Sign Warning to
warn you of a stop light or stop sign.
WARNING:
Stop Light and Stop Sign Warning are
designed to only warn you when approaching a
visible red stop sign, solid red or later portion of a
yellow trac light; it may not issue warnings at
intersections with flashing lights and does not
warn you of yield signs or temporary stop and
yield signs (such as in construction areas).
Additionally, Stop Light and Stop Sign Warning will
not warn you of an approaching stop light or stop
sign if you are pressing the accelerator pedal or
brake pedal (which disables Autosteer).
Limitations
Autosteer and its associated functions are particularly
unlikely to operate as intended when:
• Autosteer is unable to accurately determine lane
markings. For example, lane markings are excessively
worn, have visible previous markings, have been
adjusted due to road construction, are changing
quickly (lanes branching
o, crossing over, or
merging), objects or landscape features are casting
strong shadows on the lane markings, or the road
surface contains pavement seams or other high-
contrast lines.
•
Visibility is poor (heavy rain, snow, fog, etc.) or
weather conditions are interfering with sensor
operation.
• A camera(s) or sensor(s) is obstructed, covered, or
damaged.
• Driving on hills.
• Approaching a toll booth.
•
Driving on a road that has sharp curves or is
excessively rough.
•
Bright light (such as direct sunlight) is interfering
with the view of the camera(s).
•
The sensors are aected by other electrical
equipment or devices that generate ultrasonic waves.
•
A vehicle is detected in your blind spot when you
engage the turn signal.
•
Model 3 is being driven very close to a vehicle in front
of it, which is blocking the view of the camera(s).
WARNING:
Many unforeseen circumstances can
impair the operation of Autosteer. Always keep this
in mind and remember that as a result, Autosteer
may not steer Model 3 appropriately. Always drive
attentively and be prepared to take immediate
action.
