Whenever Navigate on Autopilot is active, the
instrument panel displays the driving lane as a single
blue line in front of Model X:
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 X 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
instrument panel displays
the driving lane lines in blue (instead of the single blue
in front of Model X). When you exit onto an o-ramp,
the instrument panel briefly displays a countdown
message warning you of the distance remaining before
Navigate on Autopilot reverts back to Autosteer.
NOTE: When determining navigation routes, and
maneuvers at freeway interchanges, Navigate on
Autopilot considers whether or not you want 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 144).
If the setting is o, Navigate on Autopilot never uses a
HOV lane, regardless of time of day. If the setting is on,
Navigate on Autopilot uses HOV lanes, whenever
applicable.
WARNING:
Even when Navigate on Autopilot
deactivates at o-ramps, Autosteer remains active.
Always be prepared to take appropriate action.
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 Navigate on Autopilot on the map’s turn-by-
turn direction list (Model X reverts back to Autosteer), or
by canceling Autosteer entirely (see
Canceling
Autosteer on page 103).
Lane Changes
Navigate on Autopilot changes lanes to either prepare
Model X for an upcoming o-ramp, to increase your
driving speed (not to exceed your set cruising speed), or
to move Model X out of a passing lane when you are not
actively passing other road users. 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
instrument panel displays
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 X into the adjacent lane.
If Require Lane Change Confirmation is turned on, you
must pull the Autopilot stalk toward you or engage the
appropriate turn signal to confirm that you want
Navigate on Autopilot to proceed with 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 is unable to maneuver
onto the
o-ramp and as a result, you are re-routed to
your destination.
