Autopilot.
Drive to Calibrate Cameras
Model S must maneuver with a great deal of
precision when Autopilot features are being
used. Therefore, before some features (for
example,
Trac-Aware Cruise Control or
Autosteer) can be used for the
first time or
after certain Service repairs, the cameras
must complete a self-calibration process. For
your convenience, a progress indicator is
displayed on the
instrument panel.
Calibration typically completes after driving
32-40 km, but the distance varies depending
on road and environmental conditions.
Driving on a straight road with highly-visible
lane lines allows Model S to calibrate quicker.
When calibration is complete, the Autopilot
features are available for use. Contact Tesla
only if your
Model S has not completed the
calibration process after driving 160 km.
NOTE: If you attempt to use a feature that is
not available until the calibration process is
complete, the feature will not be enabled and
the instrument panel displays a message.
NOTE: Model S must repeat the calibration
process if the cameras are serviced by Tesla,
and in some cases, after a software update.
NOTE: The self-calibration drive process is
only applicable to
Model S vehicles built after
approximately October 12, 2016.
Limitations
Many factors can impact the performance of
Autopilot components, causing them to be
unable to function as intended. These include
(but are not limited to):
•
Poor visibility (due to heavy rain, snow,
fog, etc.).
•
Bright light (due to oncoming headlights,
direct sunlight, etc.).
• Damage or obstructions caused by mud,
ice, snow, etc.
• Interference or obstruction by object(s)
mounted onto the vehicle (such as a bike
rack).
• Obstruction caused by applying excessive
paint or adhesive products (such as
wraps, stickers, rubber coating, etc.) onto
the vehicle.
• Narrow or winding roads.
• A damaged or misaligned bumper.
•
Interference from other equipment that
generates ultrasonic waves.
• Extremely hot or cold temperatures.
