Tesla MODEL X Owner's Manual page 227

Please note that the minimum speed to initiate Autosteer when there is no vehicle detected ahead of you and while
driving on a road with visible lane markings is 18 mph (30 km/h), unless certain vehicle and environmental conditions
are met.
If a vehicle is detected ahead of you:
• You can initiate Autosteer at any speed under 90 mph (150 km/h).
• You can even initiate Autosteer when stationary, provided the other vehicle is at least 5 feet (150 cm) in front of
you.
NOTE: If this alert becomes active while you are driving in Germany, Autosteer should again be available once your
vehicle is traveling below 90 mph (150 km/h).
If Autosteer is not available during your next drive, and remains unavailable throughout subsequent drives, schedule
service at your convenience. Your vehicle is OK to drive in the meantime.

Cruise control unavailable
Reduced front radar visibility
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and Autosteer are unavailable because the radar located in the front bumper area of
your vehicle has no or low visibility. Continue to your destination. Your vehicle is OK to drive.
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and Autosteer will remain unavailable as long as the radar lacks adequate visibility. This
could be a temporary obstruction caused by factors like snow, ice, dirt, or mud. If the alert is caused by a temporary
factor like these, no action might be needed: the condition might clear during your drive.
If the alert persists throughout your drive, examine the front bumper before your next planned drive and attempt to
clear any obstruction.
• See the About Autopilot on page 94
the radar location and care needed if clearing dirt / debris from that area of the vehicle.
• See Cleaning on page 185
Once the radar regains adequate visibility, the alert will clear and both Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and Autosteer
should again be available.
If this alert persists throughout subsequent drives but no obstruction is visible on the front bumper where the radar
is located, schedule service at your earliest convenience. Your vehicle is OK to drive in the meantime.

Cruise control unavailable
Reduced front camera visibility
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and Autosteer are unavailable because one or more of the front cameras in your vehicle
is blocked or blinded by external conditions. Continue to your destination. Your vehicle is OK to drive.
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and Autosteer will remain unavailable while a front camera lacks adequate visibility.
Cameras can be blocked or blinded due to many factors that include:
• Dirt or debris on the camera surface
• Environmental conditions like rain, fog, snow, or dew
• Bright sunlight or glare from another light source
• Condensation (water droplets or mist) on the camera surface
