Autopilot - Tesla S Quick Reference Manual

AUTOPILOT

On vehicles configured with the Autopilot Convenience Features, you can activate Autopilot features
to help relieve you from the most tedious and potentially dangerous aspects of road travel. We
combine a forward camera and radar, long-range sonar sensors, and an electric assist braking
system to automatically drive your Model S on the open road and in dense stop-and-go traffic.
AUTOSTEER & AUTO LANE CHANGE
When Autopilot is available, the steering wheel icon located next to the speed display in the
instrument cluster will appear grey. Pull the cruise control lever once to engage the Traffic-Aware
Cruise Control and pull it twice to activate Autosteer. The steering wheel icon will now turn blue.
Autosteer keeps the vehicle in the current lane and maintains the vehicle's speed. However, you
must still keep your hands on the steering wheel so you are prepared to take control of the vehicle
at any moment during changing road conditions.
When Autosteer is activated, you can change lanes by engaging the turn signal, and your Model S
will move itself to the adjacent lane when it's safe to do so.
AUTOPARK
When traveling below 15mph, a grey P will appear on the instrument cluster when your Model S
detects a parking spot next to you. Put the vehicle into reverse and "Autopark Ready" will appear
on the touchscreen. Once activated, your Model S will begin to park itself by controlling steering
and vehicle speed.
