Autopilot Conditions
Ensure all cameras are clean and free of obstructions before each drive and before using Autopilot features (see Cleaning a
Camera on page 179). Dirty cameras and sensors (if equipped), as well as environmental conditions such as rain and faded
lane markings, can affect Autopilot performance. If a camera is obstructed or blinded, Model Y displays a message on the
touchscreen and Autopilot features may not be available.
Before you can use Autopilot features, and after some Service visits, you must drive a short distance to calibrate cameras. For
more information, see
Drive to Calibrate Cameras on page 19.
In addition, these features may not work as intended when:
•
The road has sharp curves or significant changes in elevation.
•
Road signs and signals are unclear, ambiguous, or poorly maintained.
•
Visibility is poor (due to heavy rain, snow, hail, etc. or poorly lit roadways at night)
•
You are driving in a tunnel or next to a highway divider that interferes with the view of the camera(s)
•
Bright light (such as from oncoming headlights or direct sunlight) interferes with the view of the camera(s).
The list above does not represent an exhaustive list of situations that may interfere with proper operation of Autopilot features.
For more information, see Limitations and Warnings on page 114.
NOTE: Depending on market region, vehicle configuration, options purchased, and software version, your vehicle may not be
equipped with the following features, or a feature may not operate exactly as described.

NOTE: On a residential road, a road without a center divider, or a road that is not controlled access, the
maximum allowed cruising speed is limited and the touchscreen displays a message. The restricted speed
will be the speed limit of the road plus

• Headlights are set to On or Auto. Although Autopilot is available both during the day and in low light
conditions (dusk or dark), Autosteer aborts or is unavailable if headlights are set to Off. When Autosteer
is engaged, Auto High Beam is automatically enabled (see High Beam Headlights on page 77) and wipers
are set to Auto.
