• You shift into a dierent gear.
• A door is opened.
•
An Automatic Emergency Braking event occurs (see
Collision Avoidance Assist on page 127).
When Autosteer cancels, it sounds a chime 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Autosteer is no longer active, or disappears to indicate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 pressing the brake pedal or briefly
pushing the Autopilot stalk away from you or.
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, or the feature may not operate exactly as
described.
When Autosteer is active, you can use the turn signals
to move Model X 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 instrument panel 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
Auto Lane Change moves Model X into the adjacent
lane in the direction indicated by the turn signal,
provided the following conditions are met:
•
The continuous turn signal is engaged.
•
The Autopilot components 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 X to
accelerate closer to a vehicle in front (see Overtake
Acceleration on page 100). 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 X
returns to its original driving lane.
NOTE: Auto Lane Change moves Model X 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
instrument panel displays the
location in the lane that Model X is moving into.
In situations where Auto Lane Change is unable to
operate at optimal performance, or cannot operate due
to inadequate data, the instrument panel displays a
series of warnings. Therefore, when using Auto Lane
Change, always pay attention to the
instrument panel
and be prepared to manually steer Model X.
