Hold Steering WheelAutosteer uses data from the camera, sensors,and GPS system to determine where to drive.It also requires you to hold the steering wheel. When entering a curve, if Autosteer does not
detect your hands on the steering wheel, it displays the following message on the
instrument panel and eventually sounds a
chime:
When you see this message, you may need to tighten your grip on the steering wheel. When
your hands are detected, Autosteer resumes normal operation.
If Autosteer does not detect your hands on
the steering wheel, the Hold Steering Wheel
request escalates by sounding two additional chimes. The chimes increase in frequency until
Autosteer detects your hands. If no action is
taken, Autosteer begins to decelerate Model X
and displays the following message on the
instrument panel:
Autosteer will eventually decelerate Model X
to a full stop and then turn on the hazard
warning
flashers.
Autosteer is Aborting
In situations where Autosteer is unable to assist in steering Model X, Autosteer aborts,sounds a warning chime, and displays the
following message on the instrument panel:
Canceling Autosteer
Autosteer cancels when:

If Model X is equipped with Driver Assistance
components (see About Driver Assistance on
page 72), and you have purchased the
optional Autopilot Tech Package, you can use
Auto Lane Change to move Model X into an adjacent lane. When both
Traffic-AwareCruise Control and Autosteer are active, Auto
Lane Change intelligently assists you in
steering Model X into an adjacent driving lane.
Using the forward looking camera, the radar
sensor, and the ultrasonic sensors, Autosteer
detects lane markings and the presence of other vehicles.
Auto Lane Change is designed for use on highways and main roads with visible lane
markings and under relatively predictable circumstances in which minimal steering and
driver intervention is needed.
Warning: It is the driver

Note: Auto Lane Change assists in movingModel X one lane at a time. Moving into an
additional lane requires you to engage the
turn signal a second time when the
first lane
change is complete.
Warning: If Auto Lane Change can not
detect the outside of the target lane
midway through the lane change, both
Auto Lane Change and Autosteer will cancel. The instrument panel displays a
message instructing you to take over the
steering wheel immediately.
When Auto Lane Change is active, it is
important to monitor its performance by
watching the driving path in front of you. Stay
prepared to take over steering at any time. On the instrument panel, the lane you are crossing
over displays as a dashed blue line and once in your new lane, the lane markings display as
solid blue lines.
In situations where Auto Lane Change is
unable to operate at optimal performance, or
can not operate due to inadequate data, the
instrument panel displays a series of warnings.
Therefore, when using Auto Lane Change,
always pay attention to the instrument panel
and be prepared to manually steer Model X.
Warning: When Auto Lane Change is
actively assisting in steering Model X, the steering wheel moves accordingly.

the steering wheel, any

If Model X is equipped with Driver Assistance
components (see About Driver Assistance on
page 72), and you have purchased the
optional Autopilot Tech Package, Autopark is
designed to
find, and maneuver Model X into,
a parallel parking location. Using data from
the ultrasonic sensors, Autopark determines
the proximity to the curb and to the other
parked vehicles (see About Driver Assistance
on page 72). Autopark is available only when
Model X is driving below 24 km/h.
Note: Autopark detects potential parallel
parking locations that are at least six meters in length (but less than 15 meters.
Warning: Autopark

Calibration
During a parking sequence, Autopark must
maneuver Model X with a great deal of
precision. Therefore, before it can be used, Autopark must complete a calibration process.Calibration can take anywhere from 30
minutes to several days, depending on driving
behavior. When Autopark is calibrating, you
will see a note on the Driver Assistance
settings screen indicating that calibration is in
progress. When calibration is complete, this
note no longer displays and Autopark is available for use.
Note: Autopark will repeat the calibration
process whenever tires are changed.
Canceling Autopark Autopark cancels when you manually move
the steering wheel during a parking sequence,
or when you change gears. Autopark also
cancels when:

If Model X is equipped with Driver Assistance
components (see About Driver Assistance on
page 72), 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 X is equipped with Driver Assistance
components (see About Driver Assistance on
page 72), the following collision avoidance
features are designed to increase the safety of
you and your passengers:
