Autosteer
• Require Lane Change Confirmation: By
default, Navigate on Autopilot requires
your confirmation before proceeding with
a lane change (by engaging the
appropriate turn signal). However, if you
want Navigate on Autopilot to change
lanes without requiring this confirmation,
turn this setting off. When you turn the
setting off, you can specify if or how you
want to be notified of lane changes (Off,
Chime, Vibrate, or Both).
Warning: If you turn off Require Lane
Change Confirmation, Navigate on
Autopilot notifies you of upcoming
lane changes and off-ramps, but it
remains your responsibility to monitor
the environment and maintain control
of Model 3 at all times. Lane changes
can occur quickly and suddenly.
Always keep your hands on the wheel
and your eyes on the driving path in
front of you.
Note: In addition to route-based and speed-
based lane changes, Navigate on Autopilot
also requests a lane change to the right as a
reminder to stay out of the left-most lane
when you are not passing other vehicles.
Note: The touchscreen displays route-based
lane changes at the top of the map's turn-by-
turn direction list to notify you that an
upcoming lane change is needed to stay on
the navigation route.
Operating Navigate on Autopilot
Once enabled, the Navigate on Autopilot
button appears on the map's turn-by-turn
direction list whenever a navigation route is
active and the route includes at least one
controlled-access road. Touch this button to
allow Navigate on Autopilot to assist you on
your journey. When enabled, the Navigate on
Autopilot button is blue and the turn-by-turn
direction displays the Autosteer icon next to
maneuvers (such as freeway exits) that
Navigate on Autopilot will handle.
Navigate on Autopilot activates and
deactivates as appropriate, based on the type
of road you are driving on. For example, if
Autosteer is active and the Navigate on
Autopilot setting is turned on, Navigate on
Autopilot automatically becomes active when
you reach a supported controlled-access
portion of your navigation route.
Whenever Navigate on Autopilot is active, the
touchscreen displays the driving lane as a
single blue line in front of Model 3:

When Navigate on Autopilot is active and you
approach an off-ramp or freeway interchange
along your navigation route, the appropriate
turn signal engages and Autosteer maneuvers
Model 3 onto the off-ramp or interchange.
Warning: Never depend on Navigate on
Autopilot to determine an appropriate
lane at an off-ramp. Stay alert and
perform visual checks to ensure that the
driving lane is safe and appropriate.
When you leave a controlled-access road (for
example, you exit a freeway or you enter a
section of the navigation route that is no
longer supported), Navigate on Autopilot
reverts back to Autosteer— a unique triple-
tone chime sounds and the touchscreen
displays the driving lane lines in blue (instead
of the single blue in front of Model 3). When
you exit onto an off-ramp, the touchscreen
briefly displays a countdown message warning
you of the distance remaining before Navigate
on Autopilot reverts back to Autosteer.
Note: The way Navigate on Autopilot
determines navigation routes and maneuvers
at freeway interchanges can be impacted by
whether or not the navigation system is set up
to use High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes.
Therefore, ensure the Use HOV Lanes setting
is appropriate for your circumstances (see
Maps and Navigation
setting is off, Navigate on Autopilot never
uses an HOV lane, regardless of time of day. If
the setting is on, Navigate on Autopilot will
always include the use of the HOV lane,
whenever it exists.
Warning: Even when Navigate on
Autopilot deactivates at off-ramps,
Autosteer remains active. Always be
prepared to take appropriate actions such
on page 120). If the
