Autosteer
WARNING: Autosteer is a hands-on feature. Keep your
hands on the steering wheel at all times, be mindful of
road conditions and surrounding traffic, and always be
prepared to take immediate action. Failure to follow
these instructions could cause damage, serious injury
or death.
WARNING: Autosteer is intended for use on
controlled-access highways with a fully attentive
driver. Do not use Autosteer in construction zones, or
in areas where bicyclists or pedestrians may be
present.
WARNING: Never depend on Autosteer to determine an
appropriate driving path.
CAUTION: Autosteer and its associated functions are
particularly unlikely to operate as intended when:
•
Autosteer is unable to accurately determine lane
markings. For example, lane markings are
excessively worn, have visible previous markings,
have been adjusted due to road construction, are
changing quickly (lanes branching off, crossing
over, or merging), objects or landscape features are
casting strong shadows on the lane markings, or the
road surface contains pavement seams or other
high-contrast lines.
•
Visibility is poor (heavy rain, snow, fog, etc.) or
weather conditions are interfering with sensor
operation.
•
A camera(s) or sensor(s) is obstructed, covered, or
damaged.
•
Driving on hills.
•
Approaching a toll booth.
•
Driving on a road that has sharp curves or is
excessively rough.
• Bright light (such as direct sunlight) is interfering
with the view of the camera(s).
• The sensors (if equipped) are affected by other
electrical equipment or devices that generate
ultrasonic waves.
•
A vehicle is detected in your blind spot when you
engage the turn signal.
• Model Y is being driven very close to a vehicle in
front of it, which is blocking the view of the
camera(s).
WARNING: Many unforeseen circumstances can impair
the operation of Autosteer. Always keep this in mind
and remember that as a result, Autosteer may not steer
Model Y appropriately. Always drive attentively and be
prepared to take immediate action.
WARNING: Autosteer is not designed to, and will not,
steer Model Y around objects partially in a driving lane
and in some cases, may not stop for objects that are
completely blocking the driving lane. Always watch the
road in front of you and stay prepared to take
immediate action. It is the driver's responsibility to be
in control of Model Y at all times.
Auto Lane Change
CAUTION:
When changing lanes using Auto Lane
Change, It is the driver's responsibility to determine
whether a lane change is safe and appropriate.
Therefore, before initiating a lane change, always
check blind spots, lane markings, and the surrounding
roadway to confirm it is safe and appropriate to move
into the target lane.
CAUTION:
Be aware of the following limitations while
using Auto Lane Change.
•
Never depend on Auto Lane Change to determine
an appropriate driving path. Drive attentively by
watching the road and traffic ahead of you,
checking the surrounding area, and monitoring the
touchscreen for warnings. Always be prepared to
take immediate action.
• Do not use Auto Lane Change on roads where
traffic conditions are constantly changing and
where bicycles and pedestrians are present.
•
The performance of Auto Lane Change depends on
the ability of the camera(s) to recognize lane
markings.
•
Do not use Auto Lane Change on winding roads
with sharp curves, on icy or slippery roads, or when
weather conditions (such as heavy rain, snow, fog,
etc.) may be obstructing the view from the
camera(s)
or sensors (if equipped).
•
Overtake Acceleration can cancel for many
unforeseen reasons in addition to those listed above
(for example, lack of GPS data). Stay alert and
never depend on Overtake Acceleration to increase
your driving speed.
• Overtake Acceleration increases your driving speed
whenever the appropriate turn signal is engaged,
and accelerates
Model Y closer to the vehicle
ahead. Although Traffic-Aware Cruise Control
continues to maintain distance from the vehicle
ahead, it is important to be aware that your selected
following distance is reduced when Overtake
Acceleration is active, particularly in cases where it
may not be your intention to overtake the vehicle
you are following.
