Autosteer - Tesla MODEL Y 2022 Owner's Manual

Autosteer

NOTE: Depending on market region, vehicle
configuration, options purchased, and
software version, your vehicle may not be
equipped with Autosteer, or the feature may
not operate exactly as described.
NOTE: Autosteer is a BETA feature.
Autosteer builds upon Traffic-Aware Cruise
Control (see Traffic-Aware Cruise Control on
page 90), intelligently keeping Model Y in its
driving lane when cruising at a set speed.
Autosteer also allows you to use the turn
signals to move Model Y into an adjacent lane
(see Auto Lane Change on page
Autosteer detects lane markings and the
presence of vehicles and objects to steer
Model Y.
When full self-driving is enabled (if
equipped), the car status area displays
visualizations of the road and your vehicle's
surroundings. You can expand the
visualization by dragging the car status area
from side to side. This displays more details
about the roadway and its surroundings, such
as road markings, stop lights, and objects
(such as trash cans and poles).
CAUTION: Ensure all cameras and
sensors are clean. Dirty cameras and
sensors, as well as environmental
conditions such as rain and faded lane
markings, affect performance.
WARNING: Autosteer is a hands-on
feature. You must keep your hands on
the steering wheel at all times.
WARNING: Autosteer is intended for
use on controlled-access highways
with a fully attentive driver. When
using Autosteer, hold the steering
wheel and be mindful of road
conditions and surrounding traffic. Do
not use Autosteer in construction
zones, or in areas where bicyclists or
pedestrians may be present. Never
depend on Autosteer to determine an
appropriate driving path. Always be
prepared to take immediate action.
Failure to follow these instructions
could cause damage, serious injury or
death.

Autosteer briefly displays a message on the
touchscreen reminding you to pay attention
to the road and be ready to take over at any
time.
The speed at which you can initiate Autosteer
can vary depending on various conditions and
whether or not a vehicle is detected ahead of
you. When no vehicle is detected ahead of
you, you must be driving at least 30 km/h,
unless certain vehicle and environmental
conditions are met, in which case, you may be
able to initiate it at lower speeds. When a
vehicle is detected ahead of you, you can
initiate Autosteer at any speed, even when
stationary, provided Model Y is at least 150
cm behind the detected vehicle.
NOTE: The maximum cruising speed is 150
km/h. It is the driver's responsibility to cruise
at a safe speed based on road conditions and
speed limits.
To indicate that Autosteer is
available (but not actively
steering Model Y), the top
corner of the touchscreen
displays a gray Autosteer
icon next to the driving gear.
To indicate that Autosteer is
now actively steering Model
Y, the touchscreen displays
the Autosteer icon in blue.
When Autosteer is able to
detect lane markings, it also
displays the driving lane in
blue.
