Tesla MODEL X - Page 127

• Model X is departing a lane and may collide with a
vehicle traveling in the same direction in the adjacent
lane (regardless of the status of the turn signal).
• Model X is departing a lane into an oncoming lane,
the turn signal is o, and an oncoming vehicle is
detected.
•
Model X is departing the roadway and the turn signal
is o (for example, very close to the edge of the road
and a collision may occur).
To turn this feature on or o, touch Controls > Autopilot
> Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance. Your setting is
retained and saved to your Driver
Profile until you
manually change it.
When Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance applies
steering, a chime sounds and the
instrument panel
displays a warning and highlights the lane marking in
red.
Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance operates when
Model X is traveling between 40 and 90 mph (64 and
145 km/h) on a roadway with clearly visible lane
markings, curbs, etc.
WARNING:
Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance
is not a substitute for attentive driving and sound
judgment. Keep your eyes on the road when
driving and never depend on Emergency Lane
Departure Avoidance to prevent a collision. Several
factors can reduce or impair performance.
Depending on Emergency Lane Departure
Avoidance to prevent a potential collision can
result in serious injury or death.
Blind Spot Collision Warning Chime
If you want a chime to sound when a vehicle is in your
blind spot and a possible collision is detected, touch
Controls > Autopilot > Blind Spot Collision Warning
Chime.
WARNING:
Blind Spot Collision Warning Chime
cannot detect every collision. It is the driver's
responsibility to remain alert and check their blind
spots.
Adjacent Lane Speed
NOTE: Depending on market region and vehicle
configuration, this feature may not be available on your
Model X or the feature may not operate exactly as
described.
When your vehicle is moving significantly faster than
vehicles in adjacent lanes, Model X automatically
reduces your driving speed. This is especially helpful in
heavy
trac situations or when vehicles are constantly
merging into dierent lanes. When Model X detects
other vehicles driving significantly slower, the instrument
panel highlights the adjacent lanes with arrows and
detected vehicles in gray, and
Model X reduces the
driving speed as appropriate. To temporarily override
this feature, press the accelerator pedal.
WARNING: Never depend on Autopilot to
determine a safe driving speed; you are
responsible for driving safely and obeying trac
laws.
Limitations and Inaccuracies
Lane Assist features cannot always detect lane markings
and you may experience unnecessary or invalid warnings
in these situations:
•
Visibility is poor and lane markings are not clearly
visible (due to heavy rain, snow, fog, etc.). The exact
detection zone of the ultrasonic sensors varies
depending on environmental conditions.
• Bright light (such as from oncoming headlights or
direct sunlight) is interfering with the view of the
camera(s).
•
A vehicle in front of Model X is blocking the view of
the camera(s).
•
The windshield is obstructing the view of the
camera(s) (fogged over, dirty, covered by a sticker,
etc.).
•
Lane markings are excessively worn, have visible
previous markings, have been adjusted due to road
construction, or are changing quickly (for example,
lanes branching o, crossing over, or merging).
•
The road is narrow or winding.
•
Objects or landscape features are casting strong
shadows on lane markers.
Lane Assist may not provide warnings, or may apply
inappropriate warnings, in these situations:
•
One or more of the ultrasonic sensors is damaged,
dirty, or obstructed (by mud, ice, or snow, or by a
vehicle bra, excessive paint, or adhesive products
such as wraps, stickers, rubber coatings, etc.).
•
Weather conditions (heavy rain, snow, fog, or
extremely hot or cold temperatures) are interfering
with sensor operation.
•
The sensors are aected by other electrical
equipment or devices that generate ultrasonic waves.
• An object that is mounted to Model X is interfering
with and/or obstructing a sensor (such as a bike rack
or a bumper sticker).
In addition, Lane Assist may not steer Model X away
from an adjacent vehicle, or may apply unnecessary or
inappropriate steering, in these situations:
• You are driving Model X on sharp corners or on a
curve at a relatively high speed.
