Tesla Y 2019 Owner's Manual page 91

CAUTION: If a windshield replacement is needed,
take your vehicle to Tesla Service. This ensures
appropriate handling and mounting of the
camera(s). Failure to do so can cause one or more
Autopilot features to malfunction.
WARNING: The list above does not represent an
exhaustive list of situations that may interfere with
proper operation of Autopilot components. Never
depend on these components to keep you safe. It
is the driver's responsibility to stay alert, drive
safely, and be in control of the vehicle at all times.
WARNING: Advanced safety features may not be
available during the calibration period.
WARNING: Re-calibrating the cameras or sensors
on the touchscreen is not a substitute for checking
the physical positioning and condition of these
components. Walk around your vehicle and inspect
the cameras and sensors for physical damage.
Incorrectly calibrated or positioned cameras and
sensors may limit or disable the use of safety
features. Contact Tesla if you suspect lingering
issues.
Cleaning Cameras and Sensors
To ensure the various Autopilot components can provide
information that is as accurate as possible, keep them
clean and free of obstructions, condensation, or damage
(see Cleaning on page 177).
Condensation can form inside the camera enclosures,
especially if you park your vehicle outside in cold or wet
conditions. The touchscreen may display an alert stating
that a camera is blocked and that some or all Autopilot
features may be temporarily restricted until the camera
vision is clear. To proactively dry the condensation,
precondition the cabin by setting it to a warm
temperature, turning the windshield defroster on, and
directing the front air vents toward the door pillars (see
Mobile App on page 158).
CAUTION: Do not wipe an exposed lens with your
hands or a cloth in an attempt to remove dirt or
debris. The debris can damage the surface of the
lens when wiped.
CAUTION: Do not use chemical-based or abrasive
cleaners. Doing so can damage surfaces.
CAUTION: Do not clean an ultrasonic sensor (if
equipped) or camera lens with a sharp or abrasive
object that can scratch or damage its surface.
