corrective action, a collision is considered
imminent and Automatic Emergency Braking
applies braking to reduce driving speed. If
enabled, Automatic Emergency Braking
applies braking when a collision is considered
inevitable, even if Forward Collision Warning is
turned off.
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).
• The radar sensor is obstructed (dirty,
covered, etc.).
• The windshield is obstructing the view of
the camera(s) (fogged over, dirty, covered
by a sticker, etc.).
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 and paying attention to the
area beside Model 3 so you can anticipate
the need to take corrective action as early
as possible.
Caution: If a fault occurs with a Collision
Avoidance Assist feature, Model 3
displays an alert. Contact Tesla Service.
