Auto Lane Change - Tesla MODEL X 2015 Owner's Manual

Autosteer
If unable to detect lane markings, Autosteer may
determine the driving lane based on a vehicle you are
following.
In most cases, Autosteer attempts to center Model X in
the driving lane. However, there may be situations in
which Autosteer may steer Model X in a driving path
that is offset from the center of the lane (for example,
detection of guard rails).
WARNING: Autosteer is not designed to, and will
not, steer Model X around objects partially in a
driving lane and in some cases, may not stop for
objects that are completely blocking the driving
lane. Always watch the road in front of you and
stay prepared to take immediate action. It is the
driver's responsibility to be in control of Model X at
all times.
Hold Steering Wheel
Autosteer determines 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 light appears along
the top of the instrument panel and the following
message displays:
Apply slight turning force to steering
wheel
Autosteer detects your hands by recognizing slight
resistance as the steering wheel turns, or from you
manually turning the steering wheel very lightly (without
enough force to take over steering).
NOTE: When your hands are detected, the message
disappears and Autosteer resumes normal operation.
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 flashing light on the instrument panel
increases in frequency and a chime sounds.
If you repeatedly ignore Autosteer's prompts to apply
slight force to the steering wheel, Autosteer disables for
the rest of the drive and displays the following message
requesting you to drive manually. 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.
Autosteer unavailable for the rest of this
drive. Hold steering wheel to drive
manually.
108
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:
Take over immediately
When you see this message, TAKE OVER STEERING
IMMEDIATELY.
Canceling Autosteer
Autosteer cancels when:
• You press the brake pedal.
• You start steering manually.
• You push the Autopilot stalk away from you.
• You exceed the maximum speed at which Autosteer
operates – 150 km/h.
• You shift.
• A door is opened.
• An Automatic Emergency Braking event occurs (see
Collision Avoidance Assist on page
When Autosteer cancels, it sounds a chime 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 pressing the brake pedal or briefly pushing
the Autopilot stalk away from you or.
To disable Autosteer so it is no longer available, touch
Controls > Autopilot > Autosteer (Beta).

Auto Lane Change

configuration, options purchased, and software version,
your vehicle may not be equipped with Auto Lane
Change, or the feature may not operate exactly as
described.
When Autosteer is active, engage a turn signal to move
Model X into an adjacent lane (moving the steering
wheel would cancel Autosteer).
