WARNING: The camera(s) and sensors
associated with Forward Collision
Warning are designed to monitor an
approximate area of up to 160 meters
in your driving path. The area being
monitored by Forward Collision
Warning can be adversely aected by
road and weather conditions. Use
appropriate caution when driving.
WARNING: Forward Collision Warning
is designed only to provide visual and
audible alerts. It does not attempt to
apply the brakes or decelerate Model
Y. When seeing and/or hearing a
warning, it is the driver's responsibility
to take immediate corrective action.
WARNING: Forward Collision Warning
may provide a warning in situations
where the likelihood of collision may
not exist. Stay alert and always pay
attention to the area in front of Model
Y so you can anticipate whether any
action is required.
Forward Collision Warning operates only
when driving between approximately
5 km/h
and 150 km/h.
WARNING: Forward Collision Warning
does not provide a warning when the
driver is already applying the brake.
Automatic Emergency Braking
Model Y is designed to determine the
distance from a detected object traveling in
front of it. When a frontal collision is
considered unavoidable, Automatic
Emergency Braking is designed to apply the
brakes to reduce the vehicle's speed and
therefore, the severity of the impact. The
amount of speed that is reduced depends on
many factors, including driving speed and
environment.
When Automatic Emergency Braking applies
the brakes, the touchscreen displays a visual
warning and sounds a chime. You may also
notice abrupt downward movement of the
brake pedal. The brake lights turn on to alert
other road users that you are slowing down.
Emergency braking in
progress
Automatic Emergency Braking operates only
when driving between approximately 5 km/h
and 150 km/h.
Automatic Emergency Braking does not
apply the brakes, or stops applying the
brakes, when:
•
You turn the steering wheel sharply.
•
You press and release the brake pedal
while Automatic Emergency Braking is
applying the brakes.
•
You accelerate hard while Automatic
Emergency Braking is applying the
brakes.
•
The vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle, or
pedestrian is no longer detected ahead.
Automatic Emergency Braking is always
enabled when you start
Model Y. To disable it
for your current drive, touch Controls >
Autopilot > Automatic Emergency Braking.
WARNING:
It is strongly
recommended that you do not disable
Automatic Emergency Braking. If you
disable it, Model Y does not
automatically apply the brakes in
situations where a collision is
considered likely.
WARNING:
Automatic Emergency
Braking is designed to reduce the
severity of an impact. It is not
designed to avoid a collision.
WARNING:
Several factors can aect
the performance of Automatic
Emergency Braking, causing either no
braking or inappropriate or untimely
braking, such as when a vehicle is
partially in the path of travel or there
is road debris. It is the driver’s
responsibility to drive safely and
remain in control of the vehicle at all
times. Never depend on Automatic
Emergency Braking to avoid or reduce
the impact of a collision.
