2020 TESLA MODEL S Owner's Manual

If Autosteer is unable to detect lane markings,the driving lane is determined based on the
vehicle you are following.
In most cases, Autosteer attempts to center Model S in the driving lane. However, if the
sensors detect the presence of an obstacle (such as a vehicle or guard rail), Autosteer
may steer Model S in a driving path that is offset from the center of the lane.Warning: Autosteer is not designed to,
and will not, steer Model S around objects
partially or completely in the driving lane.
Always watch the road in front of you and
stay prepared to take appropriate action. It is the driver

When you see this message, TAKE OVER
STEERING IMMEDIATELY .
Canceling Autosteer
Autosteer cancels when:

As the lane change is in progress, Overtake
Acceleration is activated, allowing Model S to accelerate closer to a vehicle in front (see
Overtake Acceleration on page 92). Midway
through the lane change, Auto Lane Change must detect the target lane

stationary objects, and special-use lanes
such as those used exclusively for bikes,
carpools, emergency vehicles, etc.
Remain alert at all times and be prepared
to take immediate action. Failure to do so
can cause damage, injury or death.
Enabling and Customizing Navigate on
Autopilot
To enable Navigate on Autopilot, touch
Controls > Autopilot > Navigate on Autopilot
(Beta) . Then, to customize how you want
Navigate on Autopilot to operate, touch
CUSTOMIZE NAVIGATE ON AUTOPILOT :

Whenever Navigate on Autopilot is active, the
instrument panel displays the driving lane as a
single blue line in front of Model S:
When Navigate on Autopilot is active and you
approach an off-ramp or freeway interchange
along your navigation route, the appropriate
turn signal engages and Autosteer maneuvers Model S onto the off-ramp or interchange.
Warning:
Never depend on Navigate on
Autopilot to determine an appropriate lane at an off-ramp. Stay alert and
perform visual checks to ensure that the driving lane is safe and appropriate.
When you leave a controlled-access road (for
example, you exit a freeway or you enter a section of the navigation route that is nolonger supported), Navigate on Autopilot
reverts back to Autosteer

When the instrument panel displays a
message asking you to confirm the lane
change, pull the Autopilot stalk toward you or
engage the appropriate turn signal. If you do
not confirm the lane change within three
seconds, a chime sounds to remind you that
Navigate on Autopilot requires your
confirmation to change lanes.
If Require Lane Change Confirmation is turned
off, Navigate on Autopilot engages the
appropriate turn signal, checks for vehicles
and objects, and when appropriate,
maneuvers Model S into the adjacent lane.
If Require Lane Change Confirmation is turned
on, you must pull the Autopilot stalk toward
you or engage the appropriate turn signal to confirm that you want Navigate on Autopilot
to make the lane change. If you do not confirm
the lane change within three seconds, a chime
sounds to remind you that Navigate on Autopilot requires your confirmation to
change lanes.
Note: If you ignore a route-based lane change
suggestion (for example, you are driving in the
left lane while approaching an off-ramp on the
right side of the highway), Navigate on
Autopilot will be unable to maneuver onto the off-ramp and as a result, the navigation
system will re-route you to your destination.Warning: Navigate on Autopilot may not
always attempt to exit at an off-ramp or
change lanes, even when an exit or lane
change is determined by the navigation
route. Always remain alert and be prepared to manually steer onto an off-
ramp, or make a lane change to prepare
for, or to exit at, an off-ramp or
interchange.
Be Ready to Assist
When attempting to change lanes or
maneuver Model S, or when approaching
construction zones, Navigate on Autopilot
may be unable to determine the appropriate
driving lane (for example, complex clover leafs
and multi-lane off-ramps) and the instrument
panel displays an alert indicating that
Navigate on Autopilot is trying to maneuver
and may require assistance. When you see the
message, be prepared to take immediate
action to ensure that it is safe and appropriate
to complete the lane change or maneuver.
Limitations
Autosteer and its associated functions are
particularly unlikely to operate as intended
when:

Autopark
Autopark (if equipped) uses data from the
ultrasonic sensors and GPS to simplify parking
on public roads by maneuvering Model S into parallel and perpendicular parking spaces. See To Use Autopark on page 102.
Warning: Autopark

To Cancel Parking
Autopark cancels the parking sequence when
you manually move the steering wheel, change gears, or touch Cancel on the
touchscreen. Autopark also cancels parking
when:
