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).
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 60 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.
Active Safety Features
Lane Assist
Limitations and Inaccuracies
Lane Assist features cannot always detect lane markings
and you may experience unnecessary or invalid warnings
in these situations:
• Visibility is poor and lane markings are not clearly
visible (due to heavy rain, snow, fog, etc.). The exact
detection zone of the ultrasonic sensors varies
depending on environmental conditions.
• Bright light (such as from oncoming headlights or
direct sunlight) is interfering with the view of the
camera(s).
• A vehicle in front of Model X is blocking the view of
the camera(s).
• The windshield is obstructing the view of the
camera(s) (fogged over, dirty, covered by a sticker,
etc.).
• Lane markings are excessively worn, have visible
previous markings, have been adjusted due to road
construction, or are changing quickly (for example,
lanes branching off, crossing over, or merging).
• The road is narrow or winding.
• Objects or landscape features are casting strong
shadows on lane markers.
Lane Assist may not provide warnings, or may apply
inappropriate warnings, in these situations:
• One or more of the ultrasonic sensors or cameras is
damaged, dirty, or obstructed (by mud, ice, or snow,
or by a vehicle bra, excessive paint, or adhesive
products such as wraps, stickers, rubber coatings,
etc.).
• Weather conditions (heavy rain, snow, fog, or
extremely hot or cold temperatures) are interfering
with sensor operation.
• The sensors are affected by other electrical
equipment or devices that generate ultrasonic waves.
• An object that is mounted to Model X is interfering
with and/or obstructing a sensor (such as a bike rack
or a bumper sticker).
In addition, Lane Assist may not steer Model X away
from an adjacent vehicle, or may apply unnecessary or
inappropriate steering, in these situations:
• You are driving Model X on sharp corners or on a
curve at a relatively high speed.
• Bright light (such as from oncoming headlights or
direct sunlight) is interfering with the view of the
camera(s).
• You are drifting into another lane but an object (such
as a vehicle) is not present.
• A vehicle in another lane cuts in front of you or drifts
into your driving lane.
