2020 TESLA MODEL Y Owner´s Manual

The Autopilot cameras and ultrasonic sensors monitor
the markers on the lane you are driving in as well as the areas surrounding
Model Y for the presence of vehicles
or other objects.
When an object is detected in your blind spot or near
the side of
Model Y (such as a vehicle, guard rail, etc.),
the
touchscreen displays colored lines radiating from
the image of your vehicle. 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

The following collision avoidance features are designed
to increase the safety of you and your passengers:

WARNING: Forward Collision Warning may
provide a warning in situations where the
likelihood of collision may not exist. Stay alert and
always pay attention to the area in front of Model
Y so you can anticipate whether any action is
required.
WARNING: Forward Collision Warning operates
only when driving between approximately 7 mph
(10 km/h) and 90 mph (150 km/h).
WARNING: Forward Collision Warning does not
provide a warning when the driver is already
applying the brake.
Automatic Emergency Braking
The forward looking camera(s) and the radar sensor are designed to determine the distance from a detected object traveling in front of
Model Y. When a frontal
collision is considered unavoidable, Automatic Emergency Braking is designed to apply the brakes to
reduce the severity of the impact.
When Automatic Emergency Braking applies the brakes,
the
touchscreen displays a visual warning and sounds a
chime. You may also notice abrupt downward movement of the brake pedal. The brake lights turn on to alert other road users that you are slowing down.
If driving 35 mph (56 km/h) or faster, the brakes are
released after Automatic Emergency Braking has reduced your driving speed by
30 mph (50 km/h). For
example, if Automatic Emergency Braking applies braking when driving
56 mph (90 km/h), it releases the
brakes when your speed has been reduced to
26 mph
(40 km/h).
Automatic Emergency Braking operates only when driving between approximately
7 mph (10 km/h) and 90
mph (150 km/h).
Automatic Emergency Braking does not apply the
brakes, or stops applying the brakes, when:

WARNING: Obstacle-Aware Acceleration is
designed to reduce the severity of an impact. It is
not designed to avoid a collision.
WARNING: Obstacle-Aware Acceleration may not
limit torque in all situations. Several factors,
including environmental conditions, distance from
an obstacle, and a driver

How Speed Assist Works
Model Y displays a speed limit on the touchscreen and
you can choose if and how you are warned when you exceed the speed limit.
You can touch this speed limit
sign to automatically change the set speed to the
detected speed limit (including any offsets that you
have set). Also, instead of using the detected speed
limit, you can base warnings on an arbitrary speed limit that you enter manually.
In situations where Model Y is unable to determine a
speed limit, or if Speed Assist is uncertain that an acquired speed limit is accurate, the
touchscreen may
not display a speed limit sign and warnings do not take
effect.
If you set the speed limit warning to Display (see
Controlling Speed Assist on page 117) and exceed the
determined speed limit, the speed limit sign on the
touchscreen increases in size.
If you set the speed limit warning to Chime (see
Controlling Speed Assist on page 117) and exceed the
determined speed limit, the speed limit sign on the
touchscreen increases in size and Model Y also sounds
a warning chime.
NOTE: Speed limit warnings go away after ten seconds,
or when
Model Y slows down below the specified limit.
WARNING: Do not rely on Speed Assist to
determine the appropriate speed limit or driving
speed. Always drive at a safe speed based on
tra
