Lane Assist
When Lane Departure Avoidance is enabled
and Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is active, if
Model X drifts out of the driving lane when
the associated turn signal is off, Lane Assist
also checks to see whether your hands are on
the steering yoke. If hands are not detected,
the instrument panel displays a series of
alerts, similar to those that are used when
driving with Autosteer. If hands are
repeatedly not detected Model X gradually
slows down to 15 mph (25 km/h) below the
detected speed limit, or below the set
cruising speed, and the hazard lights start
flashing.
NOTE: Lane Departure Avoidance does not
warn you of lane departures, or provide
steering interventions, if the associated turn
signal is on, which indicates an intentional
lane change.
WARNING: Lane Departure Avoidance
is intended to help keep you safe, but
it does not work in every situation and
does not replace the need to remain
attentive and in control.
WARNING: Keep your hands on the
steering yoke and drive attentively at
all times.
WARNING: Steering interventions are
minimal and are not designed to move
Model X out of its driving lane. Do not
rely on steering interventions to avoid
side collisions.
Emergency Lane Departure
Avoidance
Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance
automatically applies steering to avoid a
potential collision in situations where:
• Model X is departing a lane and may
collide with a vehicle traveling in the same
direction in the adjacent lane (regardless
of the status of the turn signal).
• Model X is departing a lane into an
oncoming lane, the turn signal is off, and
an oncoming vehicle is detected.
• Model X is departing the road and the
turn signal is off (for example, very close
to the edge of the road and a collision
may occur).
140
To turn this feature on or off, touch Controls >
Autopilot > Emergency Lane Departure
Avoidance.
When Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance
applies steering, a chime sounds and the
instrument panel displays a warning and
highlights the lane marking in red.
Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance
operates when Model X is traveling between
40 and 90 mph (64 and 145 km/h) on a road
with clearly visible lane markings, curbs, etc.
WARNING: Emergency Lane
Departure Avoidance is not a
substitute for attentive driving and
sound judgment. Keep your eyes on
the road when driving and never
depend on Emergency Lane
Departure Avoidance to prevent a
collision. Several factors can reduce or
impair performance. Depending on
Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance
to prevent a potential collision can
result in serious injury or death.
Blind Spot Camera and
Collision Warning Chime
To display the image from the corresponding
side repeater camera whenever you engage a
turn signal to change lanes, touch Controls >
Autopilot > Blind Spot Camera.
If you want a chime to sound when a vehicle
is in your blind spot and a possible collision is
detected, touch Controls > Autopilot > Blind
Spot Collision Warning Chime.
WARNING: Blind Spot Camera does
not eliminate the need to drive
attentively and manually perform
shoulder checks when changing lanes.
WARNING: Blind Spot Collision
Warning Chime cannot detect every
collision. It is the driver's responsibility
to remain alert and perform the
appropriate shoulder checks when
changing lanes.
Limitations and Inaccuracies
Lane Assist features cannot always detect
lane markings and you may experience
unnecessary or invalid warnings in these
situations:
