Drive to Calibrate Cameras
Model X must maneuver with precision when Autopilot
features are being used. Therefore, before some
features can be used for the first time or after some
types of service repairs, cameras must complete a self-
calibration process. For your convenience, the
instrument panel displays a progress indicator.
When calibration is complete, Autopilot features are
available for use. Calibration typically completes after
driving
20-25 miles (32-40 km), but the distance varies
depending on road and environmental conditions. For
example, calibration completes quicker when driving on
a straight road with multiple lanes, such as a freeway or
highway, with highly-visible lane markings (in the
driving lane as well as the adjacent lanes). Contact Tesla
only if your
Model X has not completed the calibration
process after driving 100 miles (160 km) in the
described conditions.
NOTE: To calibrate, cameras require highly-visible lane
markings in both the driving lane as adjacent lanes (at
least two lanes over on each side of the vehicle). For
best results, drive in the middle lane of a freeway or
highway (ideally with at least
five lanes) that has clear
lane markings and minimal
trac.
NOTE: If you attempt to use a feature that is not
available until the calibration process is complete, the
feature is disabled and the
instrument panel displays a
message.
NOTE: Model X must repeat the calibration process if
the cameras are serviced by Tesla, and in some cases,
after a software update.
NOTE: The self-calibration drive process is only
applicable to Model X vehicles built after approximately
October 12, 2016.
NOTE: If a camera has shifted from its calibrated
position (for example, the camera or windshield was
replaced), you must clear the calibration. To do so,
touch Controls > Service > Camera Calibration > Clear
Calibration. When the calibration is cleared, Model X
repeats the calibration process.
Limitations
Many factors can impact the performance of Autopilot
components, causing them to be unable to function as
intended. These include (but are not limited to):
•
Poor visibility (due to heavy rain, snow, fog, etc.).
•
Bright light (due to oncoming headlights, direct
sunlight, etc.).
•
Damage or obstructions caused by mud, ice, snow,
etc.
•
Interference or obstruction by object(s) mounted
onto the vehicle (such as a bike rack).
•
Obstruction caused by applying excessive paint or
adhesive products (such as wraps, stickers, rubber
coating, etc.) onto the vehicle.
•
Narrow or winding roads.
• A damaged or misaligned body panel.
•
Interference from other equipment that generates
ultrasonic waves.
• Extremely hot or cold temperatures.
WARNING:
The list above does not represent an
exhaustive list of situations that may interfere
with proper operation of Autopilot components.
Never depend on these components to keep you
safe. It is the driver's responsibility to stay alert,
drive safely, and be in control of the vehicle at all
times.
