Canceling Autosteer
Autosteer cancels when:
• You start steering manually.
• You press the brake pedal.
• You push the cruise control lever away
from you.
• The maximum speed that Autosteer
supports–90 mph (150 km/h)–is
exceeded.
• You shift into a different gear.
• A door is opened.
• An Automatic Emergency Braking event
occurs (see
page 103).
When Autosteer cancels, it sounds chimes and
the Autosteer icon either turns gray to
indicate that Autosteer is no longer active, or
disappears to indicate that it is not currently
available.
Note: If Autosteer cancels because you started
steering manually, Traffic-Aware Cruise
Control remains active. Disengage Traffic-
Aware Cruise Control as you normally would,
by briefly pushing the cruise control lever
away from you or pressing the brake pedal.
To disable Autosteer so it is no longer
available, touch Controls > Autopilot >
Autosteer (Beta).
Auto Lane Change
When Autosteer is active on a vehicle
equipped with Auto Lane Change, you can use
the turn signals to move Model S into an
adjacent lane without moving the steering
wheel (which would cancel Autosteer).
Warning: It is the driver's responsibility to
determine whether a lane change is safe
and appropriate. Therefore, before
initiating a lane change, always check
blind spots, lane markings, and the
surrounding roadway to confirm it is safe
and appropriate to move into the target
lane.
Warning: Never depend on Auto Lane
Change to determine an appropriate
driving path. Drive attentively by
watching the road and traffic ahead of
you, checking the surrounding area, and
monitoring the instrument panel for
warnings. Always be prepared to take
immediate action.
Warning: Do not use Auto Lane Change
on city streets or on roads where traffic
Autopilot
Collision Avoidance Assist
conditions are constantly changing and
where bicycles and pedestrians are
present.
Warning: The performance of Auto Lane
Change depends on the ability of the
camera(s) to recognize lane markings.
Warning: Do not use Auto Lane Change
on winding roads with sharp curves, on
icy or slippery roads, or when weather
conditions (such as heavy rain, snow, fog,
etc.) may be obstructing the view from
the camera(s) or sensors.
Warning: Failure to follow all warnings
on
and instructions can result in property
damage, serious injury or death.
Operating Auto Lane Change
Auto Lane Change is available whenever
Autosteer is active. To change lanes using
Auto Lane Change:
1. Perform visual checks to make sure it is
safe and appropriate to move into the
target lane
2. Engage the appropriate turn signal.
3. Disengage the turn signal after you are in
the target lane.
Auto Lane Change moves Model S into the
adjacent lane in the direction indicated by the
turn signal, provided the following conditions
are met:
• The turn signal is engaged.
• The ultrasonic sensors and Autopilot
cameras do not detect a vehicle or
obstacle up to the center of the target
lane.
• The lane markings indicate that a lane
change is permitted.
• The view of the camera(s) is not
obstructed.
• Your vehicle does not detect another
vehicle in its blind spot.
• Midway through the lane change, Auto
Lane Change can detect the outside lane
marking of the target lane.
• Driving speed is at least 30 mph
(45 km/h).
