2016 TESLA MODEL X page 97

When following a vehicle, Traffic-Aware Cruise
Control remains active at low speeds, even if
Model X comes to a standstill while following a vehicle. When
traffic is moving again, Traffic-
Aware Cruise Control resumes operating at
your currently set speed. However, if a
pedestrian or object is detected in front of
Model X,
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control goes
into a HOLD state and the instrument panel
displays a message indicating that you need
to resume cruise control. To resume, press the
accelerator pedal or pull the cruise control lever toward you (see Canceling and
Resuming on page 78).
Note: If you double-pull the cruise control
lever, Autosteer activates and the set speed changes to your current driving speed.
When
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is actively
slowing down Model X to maintain the
selected distance from the vehicle ahead, the
brake lights turn on to alert other road users
that you are slowing down. You may also notice slight movement of the brake pedal.
Warning: Traffic-Aware Cruise Control
can not detect all objects and may not
brake/decelerate for stationary vehicles,
especially in situations when you are
driving over 80 km/h and a vehicle you
are following moves out of your driving path and a stationary vehicle or object,bicycle, or pedestrian is in front of you
instead. Always pay attention to the road
ahead and stay prepared to take
immediate corrective action. Depending
on
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control to avoid
a collision can result in serious injury or death. In addition,
Traffic-Aware Cruise
Control may react to vehicles or objects
that either do not exist or are not in the
lane of travel, causing Model X to slow
down unnecessarily or inappropriately.
Warning: Traffic-Aware Cruise Control
may be unable to provide adequate
speed control because of limited braking
capability and hills. It can also misjudge the distance from a vehicle ahead. Driving
downhill can increase driving speed, causing Model X to exceed your set
speed. Never depend on
Traffic-AwareCruise Control to slow down the vehicle
enough to prevent a collision. Always
keep your eyes on the road when driving
and be prepared to take corrective action
as needed. Depending on
Traffic-AwareCruise Control to slow the vehicle down
enough to prevent a collision can result in
serious injury or death.
Warning: Traffic-Aware Cruise Control
may occasionally brake Model X when not
required or you are not expecting it. This can be caused by closely following a
vehicle ahead, detecting vehicles or
objects in adjacent lanes (especially on curves), etc.
Adjust your following distance
To adjust the distance you want to maintain
between Model X and a vehicle traveling
ahead of you, rotate the cruise control lever to
choose a setting from 1 (the closest following distance) to 7 (the longest following distance).
Each setting corresponds to a time-based
distance that represents how long it takes for
Model X, from its current location, to reach the
location of the rear bumper of the vehicle
ahead.
Note: A horizontal line displays on the
instrument panel to represent your following distance from a vehicle ahead (see Instrument
Panel - Driving on page 46).
As you rotate the cruise control lever, the
instrument panel displays the current setting.
Release the lever when the desired setting is
displayed.

Note: Autosteer is a BETA feature in Release
7.0.
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
Autosteer to manage steering and speed under certain circumstances. Autosteer builds
upon
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control,
intelligently keeping Model X in its driving lane
when cruising at a set speed. Using the
forward looking camera, the radar sensor, and
the ultrasonic sensors, Autosteer detects lane
markings and the presence of vehicles and
objects, assisting you in steering Model Xbased on the lane markings and the vehicle
directly in front of you.
Warning: Autosteer is a hands-on feature.
You must keep your hands on the steering
wheel at all times.Warning: Autosteer is intended for use
only on highways and controlled-access roads with a fully attentive driver. Holdthe steering wheel and be mindful of road
conditions and surrounding
traffic while
using Autosteer. Do not use Autosteer on
city streets or in areas where bicyclists or
pedestrians may be present. Never depend on Autosteer to determine an
appropriate driving path. Always be
prepared to take immediate action.
Failure to follow these instructions could
cause serious property damage, injury or
death.
Operating Autosteer
Before you can operate Autosteer, you must
enable it by touching Controls > Settings > Driver Assistance > Autosteer > Enable. You
can also choose whether you want to hear a chime when Autosteer is enabled or disabled.
To indicate that Autosteer is available (but notactively steering Model X), the instrumentpanel displays a gray Autosteer icon on theright side of the driving speed as shown here:
To initiate Autosteer, pull the cruise control
lever toward you twice in quick succession. Autosteer
briefly displays a message on the
instrument panel reminding you to pay
attention to the road and have your hands on
the steering wheel. To indicate that Autosteer
is now actively assisting in steering Model X, the instrument panel displays the Autosteericon in blue. When Autosteer is able to detectlane markings, it also displays the driving lane
in blue:
Note: To initiate Autosteer, you must be
driving at least 30 km/h on a roadway with
visible lane markings. If a vehicle is detected ahead of you, you can initiate Autosteer at any
speed, even when stationary.
Note: When using Autosteer on residential
roads, or any road without a center divider,
driving speed is limited to a maximum of
70 km/h. When Autosteer detects that you are
driving on these types of roads, it reduces the speed to 70 km/h, if necessary, even if the set
cruising speed is higher. If you use the
accelerator pedal to increase driving speed
above 70 km/h, Autosteer sounds a repeated chime. When you leave the residential road (or
road without a center divider), or disengage
Autosteer by using the steering wheel, Model S resumes cruising at the set speed.
Note: In most cases, Autosteer attempts to
center Model X in the driving lane. However, if
the sensors detect the presence an obstacle (such as a vehicle or guard rail), Autosteer
may steer Model X in a driving path that is
offset from the center of the lane.

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

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

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:

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:

How Speed Assist Works
If Model X is equipped with Autopilot
components (see About Driver Assistance on
page 72), 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 91),
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 91)
and exceed the speed limit, you also hear a warning chime.
Note: Speed limit warnings go away after 10 seconds, or when Model X 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:
