Limitations and Inaccuracies
Lane Assist features cannot always detect lane markings and
you may experience unnecessary or invalid warnings when:
•
Visibility is poor and lane markings are not clearly visible
(due to heavy rain, snow, fog, etc.).
•
Bright light (such as from oncoming headlights or direct
sunlight) is interfering with the view of the camera(s).
• A vehicle in front of Model Y is blocking the view of the
camera(s).
•
The windshield is obstructing the view of the camera(s)
(fogged over, dirty, covered by a sticker, etc.).
•
Lane markings are excessively worn, have visible previous
markings, have been adjusted due to road construction,
or are changing quickly (for example, lanes branching off,
crossing over, or merging).
•
The road is narrow or winding.
•
Objects or landscape features are casting strong shadows
on lane markers.
Lane Assist may not provide warnings, or may apply
inappropriate warnings, when:
•
One or more of the sensors (if equipped), or cameras is
damaged, dirty, or obstructed (by mud, ice, or snow, or by
a vehicle bra, excessive paint, or adhesive products such
as wraps, stickers, rubber coatings, etc.).
•
Weather conditions (heavy rain, snow, fog, or extremely
hot or cold temperatures) are interfering with sensor
operation.
• The sensors (if equipped) are affected by other electrical
equipment or devices that generate ultrasonic waves.
•
An object that is mounted to Model Y is interfering with
and/or obstructing a sensor (such as a bike rack or a
bumper sticker).
In addition, Lane Assist may not steer Model Y away from an
adjacent vehicle, or may apply unnecessary or inappropriate
steering, in these situations:
•
You are driving Model Y on sharp corners or on a curve at
a relatively high speed.
•
Bright light (such as from oncoming headlights or direct
sunlight) is interfering with the view of the camera(s).
•
You are drifting into another lane but an object (such as a
vehicle) is not present.
•
A vehicle in another lane cuts in front of you or drifts into
your driving lane.
•
Model Y is not traveling within the speeds at which the
Lane Assist feature is designed to operate.
•
One or more of the sensors (if equipped) is damaged,
dirty, or obstructed (such as by mud, ice, or snow, or by a
vehicle bra, excessive paint, or adhesive products such as
wraps, stickers, rubber coating, etc.).
• Weather conditions (heavy rain, snow, fog, or extremely
hot or cold temperatures) are interfering with sensor
operation.
• The sensors (if equipped) are affected by other electrical
equipment or devices that generate ultrasonic waves.
• An object mounted to Model Y (such as a bike rack or a
bumper sticker) is interfering with or obstructing a sensor.
•
Visibility is poor and lane markings are not clearly visible
(due to heavy rain, snow, fog, etc.).
• Lane markings are excessively worn, have visible previous
markings, have been adjusted due to road construction or
are changing quickly (for example, lanes branching off,
crossing over, or merging).
CAUTION: Driver assistance features are automatically
disabled when Track Mode is On. It is the driver’s
responsibility to drive safely and be in control of the
vehicle at all times, including on track. Driver
Assistance features automatically re-enable when
Track Mode is turned Off.
WARNING: The lists above do not represent every
possible situation that may interfere with Lane Assist
features. There are many reasons why Lane Assist may
not operate as intended. To avoid a collision, stay alert
and always pay attention to the road so you can
anticipate the need to take corrective action as early as
possible.
