Forward Collision Warning operates only when driving
between approximately 5 km/h and 200 km/h.
WARNING: Forward Collision Warning does not provide
a warning when the driver is already applying the
brake.
Automatic Emergency Braking
Model Y is designed to determine the distance from detected
objects. When a collision is considered unavoidable,
Automatic Emergency Braking is designed to apply the
brakes to reduce the vehicle's speed and therefore, the
severity of the impact. The amount of speed that is reduced
depends on many factors, including driving speed and
environment.
When Automatic Emergency Braking applies the brakes, the
touchscreen displays a visual warning and sounds a chime.
You may also notice abrupt downward movement of the brake
pedal. The brake lights turn on to alert other road users that
you are slowing down.
Emergency braking in progress
Automatic Emergency Braking operates only when driving
between approximately 5 km/h and 200 km/h.
Automatic Emergency Braking does not apply the brakes, or
stops applying the brakes, when:
•
You turn the steering wheel sharply.
• You press and release the brake pedal while Automatic
Emergency Braking is applying the brakes.
• You accelerate hard while Automatic Emergency Braking
is applying the brakes.
• The vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle, or pedestrian is no
longer detected in the front or rear of the vehicle.
Automatic Emergency Braking is always enabled when you
start
Model Y. To disable for your current drive, shift into
Park, touch Controls > Autopilot, then touch Automatic
Emergency Braking. Even if you disable Automatic
Emergency Braking, your vehicle may still apply the brakes
after detecting an initial collision to reduce further impact
(see Multi-Collision Braking on page 121). When disabled, the
touchscreen displays a visual message.
Automatic Emergency Braking is disabled
WARNING:
It is strongly recommended that you do not
disable Automatic Emergency Braking. If you disable it,
Model Y does not automatically apply the brakes in
situations where a collision is considered likely.
NOTE:
Automatic Emergency Braking is designed to reduce
the impact of frontal collisions only.
NOTE: Automatic Emergency Braking is designed to reduce
the impact of frontal and reverse collisions with limited
functionality while in Reverse.
In the event Automatic Emergency Braking is unavailable, the
touchscreen displays a visual warning.
Automatic Emergency Braking is not available
WARNING:
Automatic Emergency Braking is designed
to reduce the severity of an impact. It is not designed
to avoid a collision.
WARNING:
Several factors can affect the performance
of Automatic Emergency Braking, causing either no
braking or inappropriate or untimely braking, such as
when a vehicle is partially in the path of travel or there
is road debris. It is the driver’s responsibility to drive
safely and remain in control of the vehicle at all times.
Never depend on Automatic Emergency Braking to
avoid or reduce the impact of a collision.
WARNING:
Automatic Emergency Braking is not a
substitute for maintaining a safe traveling distance
between you and the vehicle in front of you.
WARNING:
The brake pedal moves downward abruptly
during automatic braking events. Always ensure that
the brake pedal can move freely. Do not place material
under or on top of the driver’s floor mat (including an
additional mat) and always ensure that the driver’s floor
mat is properly secured. Failure to do so can impede
the ability of the brake pedal to move freely.
Multi-Collision Braking
In addition to Automatic Emergency Braking, Model Y may
apply the brakes to prevent or mitigate a subsequent impact
after an initial collision if airbag deployment is detected. The
brakes may be applied regardless of driving speed.
Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
When Model Y is in Reverse and the touchscreen is
displaying the rear view camera feed, a vertical red bar
appears when Model Y detects that an object (such as
another vehicle or a pedestrian) is about to cross behind
Model Y.
For example, if you are backing out of a parking space and
another vehicle is approaching from your left, a red bar
appears on the left side of the camera view. If there are
objects approaching from both sides of
Model Y, red bars
appear on both sides of the camera view.
If you would like a chime to sound when Rear Cross-Traffic
Alert detects an object approaching while Model Y is
reversing, touch Controls > Safety > Rear Cross-Traffic
Chime.
