Autosteer
Canceling Autosteer
Autosteer cancels when:
• You apply rotational force to the steering
wheel (even a slight amount).
• You press the brake pedal.
• The maximum speed that Autosteer
supports–150 km/h–is exceeded.
• You move the gear lever upwards.
• A door is opened.
• An Automatic Emergency Braking event
occurs (see Collision Avoidance Assist
page 102).
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indicate that Autosteer is no longer active, or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
applied rotational force to the steering wheel,
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control remains active.
Disengage Traffic-Aware Cruise Control as you
normally would, by moving the gear lever
upward or pressing the brake pedal.
Note: If you move the gear lever upward and
hold it up for more than one second, Model 3
shifts into Neutral after canceling Autosteer.
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 3 into an
adjacent lane.
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
90
monitoring the touchscreen for warnings.
Always be prepared to take immediate
action.
Warning: Do not use Auto Lane Change
on city streets or on roads where traffic
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
on the camera(s) or sensors.
Warning: Failure to follow all warnings
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 and
initiate the lane change by having your
hands on the steering wheel.
3. Disengage the turn signal after you are in
the target lane.
Auto Lane Change assists in moving Model 3
into the adjacent lane in the direction
indicated by the turn signal, provided the
following conditions are met:
• Auto Lane Change detected your hands
on the steering wheel.
• 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 45 km/h.
