Tesla MODEL X 2019 Owner's Manual page 112

The instrument panel displays a message
indicating that Autosteer is temporarily
unavailable if you attempted to engage
Autosteer when driving at a speed that is not
within the speed required for Autosteer to
operate. Autosteer may also be unavailable if
it is not receiving adequate data from the
camera(s) or sensors.
If Autosteer is unable to detect lane markings,
the driving lane is determined based on the
vehicle you are following.
In most cases, Autosteer attempts to center
Model X in the driving lane. However, if the
sensors detect the presence of an obstacle
(such as a vehicle or guard rail), Autosteer
may steer Model X in a driving path that is
offset from the center of the lane.
Warning: Autosteer is not designed to,
and will not, steer Model X around objects
partially or completely in the driving lane.
Always watch the road in front of you and
stay prepared to take appropriate action.
It is the driver's responsibility to be in
control of Model X at all times.
Hold Steering Wheel
Autosteer uses data from the camera(s),
sensors, and GPS to determine how best to
steer Model X. When active, Autosteer
requires you to hold the steering wheel. If it
does not detect your hands on the steering
wheel for a period of time, a flashing white
light appears along the top of the instrument
panel and the following message displays:
Autosteer detects your hands by recognizing
light resistance as the steering wheel turns, or
from you manually turning the steering wheel
very lightly (without enough force to retake
control).
Note: When your hands are detected, the
message disappears and Autosteer resumes
normal operation.
Note: Autosteer may also sound a chime at
the same time that the message is initially
displayed.
Autosteer requires that you pay attention to
your surroundings and remain prepared to
take control at any time. If Autosteer still does
not detect your hands on the steering wheel,
the request escalates by sounding chimes that
increase in frequency.
Autopilot
If you repeatedly ignore Autosteer's prompts
for having your hands on the steering wheel,
Autosteer disables for the rest of the drive and
displays the following message. If you don't
resume manual steering, Autosteer sounds a
continuous chime, turns on the warning
flashers, and slows the vehicle to a complete
stop.
For the rest of the drive, you must steer
manually. Autosteer is available again on your
next drive (after you stop and shift Model X
into Park).
Take Over Immediately
In situations where Autosteer is unable to
steer Model X, Autosteer sounds a warning
chime and displays the following message on
the instrument panel:
When you see this message, TAKE OVER
STEERING IMMEDIATELY.
Canceling Autosteer
Autosteer cancels when:
• You start steering manually.
• You press the brake pedal.
• You push the cruise control lever away
from you.
• The maximum speed that Autosteer
supports–150 km/h–is exceeded.
• You shift into a different gear.
• A door is opened.
• An Automatic Emergency Braking event
occurs (see Collision Avoidance Assist
page 119).
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 started
steering manually, Traffic-Aware Cruise
Control remains active. Disengage Traffic-
Aware Cruise Control as you normally would,
by briefly pushing the cruise control lever
away from you or pressing the brake pedal.
