Tesla S - Autosteer

NOTE: Autosteer is a BETA feature.
Autosteer builds upon Trac-Aware Cruise
Control (see Trac-Aware Cruise Control on
page 92), intelligently keeping Model S in its
driving lane when cruising at a set speed.
Autosteer also allows you to use the turn
signals to move Model S into an adjacent lane
(see Auto Lane Change on page 101). Using
the vehicle's camera(s), the radar sensor, and
the ultrasonic sensors, Autosteer detects lane
markings and the presence of vehicles and
objects to
assist you in steering Model S.
NOTE: Touch Controls > Autopilot > Full Self-
Driving Visualization Preview to display more
details about the roadway and its
surroundings, such as road markings, stop
signs, stop lights, objects (such as trash cans
and poles), etc.
CAUTION: Ensure all cameras and
sensors are clean. Unclean cameras
and sensors, as well as environmental
conditions such as rain and faded lane
markings, can aect Autopilot
performance.
WARNING: Autosteer is a hands-on
feature. You must keep your hands on
the steering wheel at all times.
WARNING: Autosteer is intended for
use only on highways and limited-
access roads with a fully attentive
driver. When using Autosteer, hold the
steering wheel and be mindful of road
conditions and surrounding trac. Do
not use Autosteer on city streets, in
construction zones, or in areas where
bicyclists or pedestrians may be
present. Never depend on Autosteer
to determine an appropriate driving
path. Always be prepared to take
immediate action. Failure to follow
these instructions could cause
damage, serious injury or death.
Operating Autosteer
Before you can operate Autosteer, you must
enable it by touching
Controls > Autopilot >
Autosteer (Beta).
To indicate that
Autosteer is
available (but not
actively steering
Model S), the
instrument panel
displays a gray
Autosteer icon on
the right side of
the driving speed.
To initiate Autosteer,
pull the cruise control
lever toward you twice in quick succession.
Autosteer briefly displays a message on the
instrument panel reminding you to pay
attention to the road and
have your hands on
the steering wheel. To indicate that Autosteer
is now actively assisting in steering Model S,
the
instrument panel displays the Autosteer
icon in blue. When Autosteer is able to detect
lane markings, it also displays the driving lane
in blue.
NOTE: To initiate Autosteer when there is no
vehicle in front of you, you must be driving at
least
30 km/h on a roadway with visible lane
markings. If a vehicle is detected ahead of
you, you can initiate Autosteer at any speed
under
150 km/h, even when stationary (if you
are at least
150 cm away from the vehicle).
