When Navigate on Autopilot is active and you approach
an o-ramp or freeway interchange along your
navigation route, the appropriate turn signal engages
and Autosteer maneuvers
Model 3 onto the o-ramp or
interchange.
WARNING:
Never depend on Navigate on
Autopilot to determine an appropriate lane at an
o-ramp. Stay alert and perform visual checks to
ensure that the driving lane is safe and
appropriate.
When you leave a controlled-access road (for example,
you exit a freeway or you enter a section of the
navigation route that is no longer supported), Navigate
on Autopilot reverts back to Autosteer— a unique triple-
tone chime sounds and the touchscreen displays the
driving lane lines in blue (instead of the single blue in
front of
Model 3). When you exit onto an o-ramp, the
touchscreen briefly displays a countdown message
warning you of the distance remaining before Navigate
on Autopilot reverts back to Autosteer.
NOTE: The way Navigate on Autopilot determines
navigation routes and maneuvers at freeway
interchanges can be impacted by whether or not the
navigation system is set up to use High Occupancy
Vehicle (HOV) lanes. Therefore, ensure the
Use HOV
Lanes setting is appropriate for your circumstances (see
Maps and Navigation on page 129). If the setting is o,
Navigate on Autopilot never uses an HOV lane,
regardless of time of day. If the setting is on, Navigate
on Autopilot will always include the use of the HOV lane,
whenever it exists.
WARNING:
Even when Navigate on Autopilot
deactivates at o-ramps, Autosteer remains active.
Always be prepared to take appropriate actions
such as stopping at red lights and stop signs, and
yielding to other road users.
WARNING:
Navigate on Autopilot may not always
attempt to exit at an o-ramp, even when the exit
is determined by the navigation route. Always
remain alert and be prepared to manually steer
onto the o-ramp, or make a required lane change.
You can cancel Navigate on Autopilot at any time by
touching the Navigate on Autopilot button on the map’s
turn-by-turn direction list (your vehicle reverts back to
Autosteer), or by canceling Autosteer entirely (see
Canceling Autosteer on page 89).
Lane Changes
Navigate on Autopilot changes lanes to either prepare
Model 3 for an upcoming o-ramp, to increase your
driving speed (not to exceed your set cruising speed), or
to move
Model 3 out of a passing lane when you are not
actively passing other vehicles. A message displays at
the top of the map's turn-by-turn direction list to notify
you when an upcoming lane change is required to stay
on your navigation route. The line on the
touchscreen
shows the upcoming driving path:
If Require Lane Change Confirmation is turned o,
Navigate on Autopilot engages the appropriate turn
signal, checks for vehicles and objects, and when
appropriate, maneuvers
Model 3 into the adjacent lane.
If Require Lane Change Confirmation is turned on, you
must
engage the appropriate turn signal to confirm that
you want Navigate on Autopilot to make the lane
change. If you do not confirm the lane change within
three seconds, a chime sounds to remind you that
Navigate on Autopilot requires your confirmation to
change lanes.
NOTE: If you ignore a route-based lane change
suggestion (for example, you are driving in the left lane
while approaching an
o-ramp on the right side of the
highway), Navigate on Autopilot will be unable to
maneuver onto the o-ramp and as a result, the
navigation system will re-route you to your destination.
