Tesla MODEL Y 2022 - Camera blocked or blinded

Once the radar regains adequate visibility, the alert will clear and both Trac-Aware Cruise
Control and Autosteer should again be available.
If this alert persists throughout subsequent drives but no obstruction is visible on the front
bumper where the radar is located, schedule service at your earliest convenience. Your vehicle is
OK to drive in the meantime.

Cruise control unavailable
Reduced front camera visibility
Trac-Aware Cruise Control and Autosteer are unavailable because one or more of the front
cameras in your vehicle is blocked or blinded by external conditions. Continue to your
destination. Your vehicle is OK to drive.
Trac-Aware Cruise Control and Autosteer will remain unavailable while a front camera lacks
adequate visibility. Cameras can be blocked or blinded due to many factors that include:
•
Dirt or debris on the camera surface
•
Environmental conditions like rain, fog, snow, or dew
•
Bright sunlight or glare from another light source
•
Condensation (water droplets or mist) on the camera surface
This is often a temporary issue that will clear up when condensation evaporates or a particular
environmental condition is no longer present.
If the alert does not clear by the end of your drive, inspect and clean the front camera area at
the top center of the windshield before your next planned drive. Check the camera surface for
condensation, dirt, or other debris and attempt to clear any obstruction. See the About
Autopilot on page 87 sections “How It Works” and “Cleaning Cameras and Sensors” for more on
front camera location and tips for careful cleaning.
Although condensation on the inside of the front camera enclosure cannot be wiped clean, you
can usually clear it quicker by following these steps:
1. Pre-condition the cabin with the temperature set to High and A/C turned ON.
2. Turn on the front windshield defroster.
Once all front cameras regain adequate visibility, the alert will clear and both Trac-Aware
Cruise Control and Autosteer should again be available.
If this alert persists throughout subsequent drives but no front camera obstruction is visible,
schedule service at your earliest convenience. Your vehicle is OK to drive in the meantime.
