2021 TESLA MODEL S instrument panel

The instrument panel displays a message
indicating that Autosteer is temporarily
unavailable if you attempted to engage
Autosteer when driving at a speed that is not
within the speed required for Autosteer to
operate. Autosteer may also be unavailable if it is not receiving adequate data from the
camera(s) or sensors.
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 an
obstacle (such as a vehicle or guard rail) is detected, 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 immediate action. It is the driver

Take Over Immediately
In situations where Autosteer is unable to
steer Model S, Autosteer sounds a warning
chime and displays the following message on
the
instrument panel:
When you see this message, TAKE OVER STEERING IMMEDIATELY.

Stop Signs and Road Markings
When driving with Autosteer or Traffic-aware Cruise Control engaged, and Traffic Light and
Stop Sign Control enabled, Model S is designed to respond as follows when approaching
intersections controlled by stop signs, stop lines, or road markings:
Type of IntersectionVehicle Intended Response
No Traffic Control
Arm of T-junction
Model S assumes the right of way and continues straight
without slowing down or stopping.
End of T-junction
If Model S detects a T-junction based on the map data, Model S slows down and comes to a complete stop at the red stop line
displayed on the instrument panel. When you want to proceed,
you must take over steering and acceleration.
WARNING: Model S may not stop at a T-junction that does not have a stop sign or stop line, or if the T-junction is not included in the map data. Drive attentively and be prepared to stop (when necessary and/or appropriate).

Model S slows down and comes to a complete stop at the red
stop line displayed on the instrument panel. When you want to
proceed through the intersection, you must briefly press the
accelerator pedal.
NOTE: If you confirm that you want to proceed through an
intersection controlled by a stop sign by briefly pressing the
accelerator pedal before Model S has stopped, your confirmation is ignored. Model S is not designed to proceed
through a stop sign without stopping.
NOTE: Even when using Autosteer, and even if you have
engaged a turn signal, you must turn the steering yoke yourself
(which cancels Autosteer) to complete a turn at an
intersection.
WARNING: Model S also slows down and stops at a roundabout. You must take over steering (which cancels Autosteer) and briefly press the accelerator pedal to confirm that you want to continue through the roundabout.Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control

Model S monitors the markers on the lane you
are driving in as well as the surrounding areas for the presence of vehicles or other objects.
When an object is detected in your blind spot
or near the side of Model S (such as a vehicle,
guard rail, etc.), the instrument panel 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
