If Rear Cross-Traffic Chime is enabled, a chime sounds only
when all of the following conditions are met:
•
Model Y is in Reverse.
•
Model Y is in motion (at any speed).
•
Model Y detects cross traffic.
A chime does not sound when Model Y is in Reverse but at a
standstill, even if cross traffic is detected.
When Model Y is reversing and cross traffic is detected,
Automatic Emergency Braking or Obstacle-Aware
Acceleration may apply the brakes to attempt to avoid a
collision. Do not rely on Automatic Emergency Braking or
Obstacle-Aware Acceleration to prevent a collision. For more
information, see
Automatic Emergency Braking on page 121
and Obstacle-Aware Acceleration on page 122.
WARNING: Never depend on Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
to inform you if the area surrounding your vehicle is
free of objects and/or people. The cameras may not
detect objects or barriers that can potentially cause
damage or injury, especially objects very low to the
ground. In addition, several external factors can reduce
the performance of the cameras, including a dirty or
obstructed lens. Always inspect the area with your own
eyes. When reversing, perform shoulder checks and
use all mirrors. Use the cameras for guidance purposes
only. Rear Cross-Traffic Alert is not intended to replace
your own direct visual checks and is not a substitute
for careful driving.
Obstacle-Aware Acceleration
Obstacle-Aware Acceleration is designed to reduce the
impact of a collision by reducing motor torque and in some
cases applying the brakes, if Model Y detects an object in its
driving path. The
touchscreen displays a visual warning and
sounds a chime when the brakes are automatically applied.
For example, Model Y, while parked in front of a closed
garage door with Drive engaged, detects that you have
pressed hard on the accelerator pedal. Although
Model Y still
accelerates and hits the garage door, the reduced torque may
result in less damage.
Obstacle-Aware Acceleration is designed to operate only
when all of these conditions are simultaneously met:
•
Drive or Reverse is engaged.
•
Model Y is stopped or traveling less than 16 km/h.
•
Model Y detects an object in its immediate driving path.
To disable Obstacle-Aware Acceleration, touch Controls >
Autopilot and then touch Obstacle-Aware Acceleration.
WARNING:
Obstacle-Aware Acceleration is designed
to reduce the severity of an impact. It is not designed
to avoid a collision.
WARNING:
Obstacle-Aware Acceleration may not limit
torque in all situations, such as performing a sharp turn
into a parking space. Several factors, including
environmental conditions, distance from an obstacle,
and a driver's actions, can limit, delay, or inhibit
Obstacle-Aware Acceleration.
WARNING:
Do not rely on Obstacle-Aware
Acceleration to control acceleration or to avoid, or
limit, the severity of a collision, and do not attempt to
test Obstacle-Aware Acceleration. Doing so can result
in serious property damage, injury, or death.
WARNING:
Several factors can affect the performance
of Obstacle-Aware Acceleration, causing an
inappropriate or untimely reduction in motor torque. It
is the driver's responsibility to drive safely and remain
in control of Model Y at all times.
Limitations and Inaccuracies
Collision Avoidance features cannot always detect all
objects, vehicles, bikes, or pedestrians, and you may
experience unnecessary, inaccurate, invalid, or missed
warnings for many reasons, particularly if:
• The road has sharp curves.
• Visibility is poor (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 camera or sensor is obstructed (dirty, covered, fogged
over, covered by a sticker, etc.).
• 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.
CAUTION: If a fault occurs with a Collision Avoidance
Assist feature, Model Y displays an alert. Contact Tesla
Service.
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 limitations previously described do not
represent an exhaustive list of situations that may
interfere with proper operation of Collision Avoidance
Assist features. These features may fail to provide their
intended function for many other reasons. It is the
driver’s responsibility to avoid collisions by staying
alert, paying attention, and taking corrective action as
early as possible.
