Autosteer requires that you pay attention to
your surroundings and remain prepared to
take control at any time. If Autosteer still does
not detect your hands on the steering wheel,
the flashing light on the car status section of
the touchscreen increases in frequency and a
chime sounds.
If you repeatedly ignore Autosteer's prompts
to apply slight force to the steering wheel,
Autosteer disables for the rest of the drive
and displays the following message
requesting you to drive manually. If you don't
resume manual steering, Autosteer sounds a
continuous chime, turns on the warning
flashers, and slows the vehicle to a complete
stop.
Autosteer unavailable for
the rest of this drive. Hold
steering wheel to drive
manually.
For the rest of the drive, you must steer
manually. Autosteer is available again on your
next drive (after you stop and shift
Model Y
into Park).
Take Over Immediately
In situations where Autosteer is unable to
steer
Model Y, Autosteer sounds a warning
chime and displays the following message on
the touchscreen:
Take over immediately
When you see this message, TAKE OVER
STEERING IMMEDIATELY.
Canceling Autosteer
Autosteer cancels when:
•
You press the brake pedal.
• You start steering manually.
• You exceed the maximum speed at which
Autosteer operates – 150 km/h.
• You move the drive stalk upwards.
• A door is opened.
• An Automatic Emergency Braking event
occurs (see Collision Avoidance Assist on
page 126).
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indicate that Autosteer is no longer active, or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, Trac-Aware
Cruise Control remains active. Disengage
Trac-Aware Cruise Control as you normally
would, by pressing the brake pedal moving
the drive stalk upward.
NOTE: If you move the drive stalk upward and
hold it up for more than one second, Model Y
shifts into Neutral after canceling Autosteer.
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, engage a turn
signal to move Model Y into an adjacent lane
(moving the steering wheel would cancel
Autosteer).
