2016 TESLA MODEL S Owner's Manual

Autopark

Autopark shifts Model S into Drive or Reverse
(based on which button you pressed) and
drives into the parking space until the sensors have detected an obstacle, or Model S has
moved the maximum distance of 39 feet (12 meters), at which point parking is considered
completed and Autopark shifts Model S into Park.
Note: If you want Autopark to move Model S
multiple times in the same direction, up to the maximum of 39 feet (12 meters), press and
release the key

If Model S is equipped with Driver Assistance
components (see About Driver Assistance on
page 65), the forward looking camera
monitors the markers on the lane you are
driving in, and the ultrasonic sensors monitor
the blind spot for the presence of a vehicle. To
help you stay in your driving lane and to avoid
side collisions, Lane Assist provides two types of warnings:

Controlling Lane Assist Warnings
To turn Lane Departure Warning on or
off,touch Controls > Settings > Driver
Assistance > Lane Departure Warning.
To turn Side Collision Warning on or
off, touch
Controls > Settings > Driver Assistance > Side
Collision Warning.
Note: Your chosen settings are retained until
you manually change them. They are also saved in your driver
profile.
Limitations and Inaccuracies
Lane Assist can not always clearly detect lanemarkings and you may experience
unnecessary or invalid lane departure
warnings in these situations:

If Model S is equipped with Driver Assistance
components (see About Driver Assistance on
page 65), the following collision avoidance
features are designed to increase the safety of
you and your passengers:

alert and always pay attention to the area
in front of Model S so you can anticipate whether any action is required.Warning: Forward Collision Warning does
not operate when Model S is traveling less than 4 mph (7 km/h).Warning: Forward Collision Warning does
not provide a warning when the driver is already applying the brake.
Automatic Emergency Braking
The forward looking camera and the radar
sensor are designed to determine the distance
from any object (vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle,
or pedestrian) traveling in front of Model S.
When a frontal collision is considered
unavoidable, Automatic Emergency Braking is designed to automatically apply the brakes to
reduce the severity of the impact.
When Automatic Emergency Braking applies
the brakes, the instrument panel displays a visual warning and you

Limitations and Inaccuracies
Collision Avoidance features cannot always
detect vehicles, bikes, or pedestrians, and you
may experience unnecessary, inaccurate,
invalid, or missed warnings for many reasons,
particularly if:

How Speed Assist Works
If Model S is equipped with Autopilot
components (see About Driver Assistance on
page 65), the forward looking camera detects
speed limit signs. The signs are then analyzed
and compared against GPS data to determine
the speed limit at your current driving
location. For routes where no signs are
present, speed limits are determined using
GPS data (if available). Instead of determining
the speed limit based on signs and GPS data,
you can also manually enter an arbitrary speed limit.
When Speed Assist is turned on (described
below), the instrument panel displays a speed
limit sign. Warnings (described below) take
effect when you exceed this limit.
In situations where Speed Assist is unable to
detect a speed (for example, speed limit signs
and GPS data are not available at the current
location), the instrument panel does not display a speed limit sign. If Speed Assist is
uncertain that an acquired speed limit is
accurate (for example, although a speed limit sign was initially detected, some time has
passed before a subsequent sign has been
detected), the speed limit sign is dimmed. In both cases, warnings do not take
effect.
If you set the speed limit warning to Display
(see Controlling Speed Assist on page 88),
the speed limit sign on the instrumental panel
increases in size whenever you exceed the speed limit.
If you set the speed limit warning to Chime
(see Controlling Speed Assist on page 88)
and exceed the speed limit, you also hear a warning chime.
Note: Speed limit warnings go away after 10
seconds, or when Model S slows down below
the
specified limit.
Warning: Do not rely on Speed Assist to
determine the appropriate speed limit. Always drive at a safe speed based on
traffic and road conditions.
Controlling Speed Assist
To turn Speed Assist on or
off, and control
how it works, touch Controls > Settings > Driver Assistance > Speed Limit Warning, then
choose one of these options:
