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 surrounding areas and the blind spot for
the presence of a vehicle or other objects.
When an object is detected in your blind spot
or close to the side of Model S (such as a vehicle, guard rail, etc.), colored lines radiate
from the image of Model S on the instrument
panel. The location of the lines correspond to
the location of the detected object. The color

severity of the impact, even if you are already
applying the brakes.
