2020 TESLA MODEL S sensor

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

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

Summon
Summon (if equipped) allows you to
automatically park and retrieve Model S while you are standing outside the vehicle. Summonuses data from the ultrasonic sensors to move
Model S forward and reverse up to 39 feet (12
meters) in, or out of, a parking space.
To move Model S a longer distance while steering around objects, you can use Smart
Summon (if equipped) and your mobile phone. Smart Summon allows your vehicle to
find you (or you can send your vehicle to a
chosen location). See Smart Summon on page
107.
Warning: Summon is designed and
intended for use only on parking lots and
driveways on private property where the
surrounding area is familiar and
predictable.Warning: Summon is a BETA feature. You
must continually monitor the vehicle and
its surroundings and stay prepared to
take immediate action at any time. It is
the driver

Lane Assist
The Autopilot cameras and ultrasonic sensors
monitor the markers on the lane you are
driving in as well as the areas surrounding Model S for the presence of vehicles 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 your vehicle on the
instrument panel. The location of the lines
correspond to the location of the detected object. The color of the lines (white, yellow,
orange, or red) represent the object

3.Follow the onscreen instructions.Caution: Selecting the incorrect wheel
size may result in false tire pressure
warnings. If a tire pressure warning
displays, exit the vehicle, close the
rear trunk and all doors, wait for the
touchscreen to go black, then re-
enter the vehicle and ensure that the
correct wheel size is selected before
touching Reset TPMS .
Note: On some older versions of Model S,
when changing to 21" wheels, the TPMS may
generate false tire pressure warnings. Bring
Model S to a Tesla Service Center for further
adjustment.
Warning: Do not reset the TPMS sensors
in an attempt to clear tire pressure
warnings.
Replacing a Tire Sensor
If the Tire Pressure warning indicator displays frequently, contact Tesla to determine if a tire
sensor needs to be replaced. If a non-Tesla Service Center repairs or replaces a tire, the
tire sensor may not work until Tesla performs
the setup procedure.
TPMS Malfunction
Model S has also been equipped with a TPMS
malfunction indicator to indicate when the
system is not operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is
combined with the tire pressure
indicator light. When the system
detects a malfunction, the indicator
