Never depend on Autopilot features to determine the
presence of emergency vehicles. Model Y may not detect
lights from emergency vehicles. Keep your eyes on your
driving path and always be prepared to take immediate
action.
Take Over Immediately
In situations where Autopilot is unable to steer Model Y, a
warning chime sounds and the
touchscreen displays the
following message.
Take over immediately
When you see this message, take over steering immediately.
Driver Attentiveness
Autopilot features require that the driver pay attention to the
road, their surroundings, and other road users.
The cabin camera monitors continued driver attentiveness
when Autopilot is engaged. This system cannot be disabled.
The cabin camera does not require full visibility of the driver's
eyes in order to monitor attentiveness. The system is still
active, for example, if the driver is wearing sunglasses.
Please pay attention to the road
If the cabin camera does not have clear visibility of the
driver's hand and arm locations, the touchscreen periodically
displays a message reminding the driver to apply slight force
to the steering wheel.
When the cabin camera is actively monitoring driver
attentiveness, a green indicator appears in the status bar.
If the driver repeatedly looks away from the road, the
touchscreen displays a warning. The warning is dismissed
once the driver begins paying attention to the road again.
If the driver repeatedly ignore prompts to apply slight force
to the steering wheel or to pay attention,
Autopilot displays a
series of escalating warnings and, if those warnings are
ignored, disables for the rest of the drive and displays the
following message.
Autopilot
unavailable for current drive.
Autopilot Strikeout - Attention warnings
ignored.
If the driver does not resume manual steering,
Model Y
sounds a continuous chime, turns on the warning flashers,
and slows to a complete stop.
WARNING: Do not use handheld devices while using
Autopilot features. If the cabin camera detects a
handheld device while Autopilot is engaged, the
touchscreen displays a message reminding you to pay
attention and keep your hands on the wheel.
WARNING: The use of devices designed to circumvent
driver attentiveness is a violation of the terms of use
for Autopilot and may result in the feature being
permanently disabled on your vehicle and a ban on
future use of the feature.
Autopilot Suspension
Use of Autopilot features will be suspended if improper
usage is detected.
Use of Autosteer is suspended for a week when you or
another driver of your vehicle receives five Autopilot
"strikeouts." A strikeout is when the Autopilot system
disengages for the remainder of a trip after the driver
receives several audio and visual warnings for
inattentiveness.
You can see how many strikeouts are remaining before
Autopilot access is suspended by touching Controls >
Autopilot .
A strikeout is forgiven after 7 days, as long as you don't
receive another strikeout in that time.
NOTE: If your access to Autosteer is suspended, you can still
use
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and all active safety
features are still enabled.
There may be occasions where driver intervention is required
and you must take over immediately to maintain safe driving.
Driver-initiated disengagements do not count as improper
usage and are expected from the driver.
