Tesla 3 Owner's Manual page 92

As the lane change is in progress, Overtake
Acceleration is activated, allowing Model 3 to
accelerate closer to a vehicle in front (see
Overtake Acceleration
through the lane change, Auto Lane Change
must detect the target lane's outside lane
marking. If this lane marking cannot be
detected, the lane change is aborted and
Model 3 returns to its original driving lane.
Note: Auto Lane Change assists in moving
Model 3 one lane at a time. Moving into an
additional lane requires you to engage the
turn signal a second time after the first lane
change is complete.
When using Auto Lane Change, it is important
to monitor its performance by watching the
driving path in front of you and the
surrounding area. Stay prepared to take over
steering at any time. As you are crossing over
into the adjacent lane, the touchscreen
displays the lane marking as a dashed blue
line. Once in your new lane, lane markings are
displayed as solid blue lines again.
In situations where Auto Lane Change is
unable to operate at optimal performance, or
cannot operate due to inadequate data, the
touchscreen displays a series of warnings.
Therefore, when using Auto Lane Change,
always pay attention to the touchscreen and
be prepared to manually steer Model 3.
Navigate on Autopilot
Note: Navigate on Autopilot is a BETA feature.
When using Autosteer on a controlled-access
road (such as a highway or freeway), Navigate
on Autopilot automatically exits at off-ramps
and interchanges based on your navigation
route. Along the highway portion of a
navigation route, Navigate on Autopilot also
changes lanes to prepare for exits and to
minimize the driving time to your destination.
Warning: Navigate on Autopilot does not
make driving autonomous. You must pay
attention to the road, keep your hands on
the steering wheel at all times, and remain
aware of your navigation route.
Warning: As is the case with normal
driving, be extra careful around blind
corners, highway interchanges, and exits
because obstacles can appear quickly
and at any time.
Warning: Navigate on Autopilot may not
recognize or detect oncoming vehicles,
stationary objects, and special-use lanes
such as those used exclusively for bikes,
Autopilot
on page 86). Midway
carpools, emergency vehicles, etc.
Remain alert at all times and be prepared
to take immediate action. Failure to do so
can cause damage, injury or death.
Enabling and Customizing Navigate on
Autopilot
To enable Navigate on Autopilot, touch
Controls > Autopilot > Navigate on Autopilot
(Beta). Then, to customize how you want
Navigate on Autopilot to operate, touch
CUSTOMIZE NAVIGATE ON AUTOPILOT:
• Enable At Start Of Every Trip: Choose
whether or not you want to automatically
enable Navigate on Autopilot for every
navigation route. When enabled, the
Navigate on Autopilot button on the turn-
by-turn direction list is already enabled at
the start of every trip.
• Speed Based Lane Changes: Navigate on
Autopilot is designed to perform both
route-based and speed-based lane
changes. Route-based lane changes are
designed to keep you on your navigation
route (for example, moving you into an
adjacent lane to prepare for an upcoming
off-ramp) whereas speed-based lane
changes are designed to maintain a
driving speed (not to exceed your cruising
speed) that allows you to minimize the
time it takes to reach your destination (for
example, moving into an adjacent lane to
pass a vehicle in front of you). Speed-
based lanes changes are optional. You can
use this setting to disable speed-based
lane changes or to specify how
aggressively you want Navigate on
Autopilot to change lanes to achieve the
set cruising speed. The MILD setting is
more conservative about lane changes
and may result in a slightly longer driving
time whereas MAD MAX is designed to
allow you to reach your destination in the
shortest driving time possible, but will
only change lanes when safe to do so.
