Navigate On Autopilot - Tesla MODEL Y 2022 Owner's Manual

Navigate on Autopilot

NOTE: Depending on market region, vehicle
configuration, options purchased, and
software version, your vehicle may not be
equipped with Navigate on Autopilot, or the
feature may not operate exactly as described.
NOTE: Navigate on Autopilot is a BETA
feature.
When using Autosteer on a controlled-access
highway (a main highway on which road users
enter and exit using on-ramps and off-ramps).
Navigate on Autopilot guides Model Y to 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 (route-
based lane changes) and to minimize the
driving time to your destination (speed-based
lane changes).
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, interchanges, and on-ramps
and off-ramps - 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, 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 changes lanes only when
safe to do so.
• Exit Passing Lane: Choose whether you
want Navigate on Autopilot to maneuver
out of a passing lane when navigating to
a destination.
NOTE: In addition to route-based and
speed-based lane changes, Navigate on
Autopilot requests a lane change out of a
passing lane as a reminder to stay in a
slower lane when you are not passing
other vehicles. Choose NO to disable this
and keep Model Y in a passing lane
except when needed to stay on the
navigation route.
• Require Lane Change Confirmation (if
equipped): 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).
