2022 TESLA MODEL S sensor

NOTE: Depending on market region, vehicle configuration, options purchased, and software version, your vehicle may not be equipped with Autosteer, or the feature may not operate exactly as described.
NOTE: Autosteer is a BETA feature.
Autosteer builds upon Traffic-Aware Cruise
Control (see Traffic-Aware Cruise Control on page 87), intelligently keeping Model S in its
driving lane when cruising at a set speed.
Autosteer also allows you to use the turn signals to move Model S into an adjacent lane (see Auto Lane Change on page 95). Autosteer detects lane markings and the
presence of vehicles and objects to steer Model S.
NOTE: To display more details about the
roadway and its surroundings, such as road markings, stop lights, objects (such as trash cans and poles), etc., touch
Controls > Autopilot > Full Self-Driving Visualization Preview (if equipped).
CAUTION: Ensure all cameras and sensors are clean. Dirty cameras and sensors, as well as environmental conditions such as rain and faded lane markings, affect performance.
WARNING: Autosteer is a hands-on feature. You must keep your hands on the steering yoke at all times.
WARNING: Autosteer is intended for use on highways and limited-access roads with a fully attentive driver. When using Autosteer, hold the steering yoke and be mindful of road conditions and surrounding traffic. Do not use Autosteer on city streets, in construction zones, or in areas where bicyclists or pedestrians may be present. Never depend on Autosteer to determine an appropriate driving path. Always be prepared to take immediate action. Failure to follow these instructions could cause damage, serious injury or death.
Operating Autosteer
Before you can operate Autosteer, you must
enable it by touching Controls > Autopilot > Autosteer (Beta).
To indicate that Autosteer is
available (but not actively
steering
Model S), the instrument panel displays a
gray Autosteer icon beside the driving speed.
To initiate Autosteer, press the right scroll wheel.
NOTE: If the setting for Autosteer Activation is set to Single Click (touch Controls > Autopilot > Autosteer Activation), Autosteer
engages when you single-press the right
scroll wheel. If set to
Double Click, you must
double-press the right scroll wheel to engage
Autosteer.
Autosteer briefly displays a message on the instrument panel reminding you to pay
attention to the road and be ready to take over at any time. To indicate that Autosteer is
now actively steering Model S, the instrument panel displays the Autosteer icon in blue.
When Autosteer is able to detect lane markings, it also displays the driving lane in blue.
To initiate Autosteer when no vehicle is
detected ahead of you, you must be driving
at least
18 mph (30 km/h), unless certain
vehicle and environmental conditions are met,
in which case, you may be able to initiate it at
lower speeds. If a vehicle is detected ahead of you, you can initiate Autosteer at any speed,
even when stationary, provided
Model S is at
least 5 feet (150 cm) behind the detected
vehicle.
NOTE: The maximum cruising speed is 90 mph (150 km/h). It is the driver

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

WARNING: Do not use Auto Lane Change on winding roads with sharp curves, on icy or slippery roads, or when weather conditions (such as heavy rain, snow, fog, etc.) may be obstructing the view from the camera(s) or sensors.
WARNING: Failure to follow all warnings and instructions can result in property damage, serious injury or death.
Operating Auto Lane Change
Auto Lane Change is available whenever
Autosteer is active. To change lanes using
Auto Lane Change:
1.
Perform visual checks to make sure it is safe and appropriate to move into the target lane
2.
Engage the appropriate turn signal.
Auto Lane Change moves Model S into the
adjacent lane in the direction indicated by the
turn signal, provided the following conditions
are met:

NOTE: This feature may not be available at
delivery.
NOTE: Depending on market region, vehicle configuration, options purchased, and software version, your vehicle may not be equipped with Autopark.
Autopark uses data from the cameras and
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 109.
CAUTION: Ensure all cameras and sensors are clean. Dirty cameras and sensors, as well as environmental conditions such as rain and faded lane markings, can affect Autopilot performance.
WARNING: Autopark

NOTE: Depending on market region, vehicle configuration, options purchased, and software version, your vehicle may not be equipped with Summon, or the feature may not operate exactly as described.
Summon allows you to automatically park and
retrieve Model S while you are standing
outside the vehicle. Summon uses 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 115.
CAUTION: Ensure all cameras and sensors are clean. Dirty cameras and sensors, as well as environmental conditions such as rain and faded lane markings, can affect Autopilot performance.
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

WARNING: The camera(s) and sensors associated with Forward Collision Warning are designed to monitor an approximate area of up to 525 feet (160 meters) in your driving path. The area being monitored by Forward Collision Warning can be adversely affected by road and weather conditions. Use appropriate caution when driving.
WARNING: Forward Collision Warning is designed only to provide visual and audible alerts. It does not attempt to apply the brakes or decelerate Model S. When seeing and/or hearing a warning, it is the driver

NOTE: Software updates cannot be
performed when Keep Climate On, Dog Mode,
or Camp Mode is active.
NOTE: The intrusion sensor (if equipped)
automatically disables when Keep Climate On,
Dog Mode, or Camp Mode is active. However,
you can override this behavior and keep the intrusion sensor enabled. To do so, touch
Controls > Safety > Tilt/Intrusion after
enabling Keep Climate On, Dog mode, or Camp mode. However, note that keeping the intrusion sensor enabled while Keep Climate On, Dog Mode, and Camp Mode is active can
trigger an alarm event as a result of air
movement inside the cabin.
WARNING: You can adjust the climate control system remotely using the mobile app. However, if you use the mobile app to turn off the climate control system, Keep Climate On, Dog Mode, and Camp Mode stop operating.
WARNING: Avoid using Keep Climate On, Dog Mode, or Camp Mode when the battery charge is low. When leaving a dog or pet in Model S, you must ensure that you have your phone with you and that the Tesla mobile app is running. This allows you to proactively monitor the cabin temperature. To ensure the safety and comfort of anyone or anything in your vehicle, always make sure you have adequate cellular coverage to receive notifications and allow enough time to return to Model S should the climate control system stop operating

About the Security System
If Model S does not detect a key nearby and a
locked door or trunk is opened, an alarm
sounds and the headlights and turn signals
flash. To deactivate the alarm, press any
button on the key.
To manually enable or disable the alarm
system, touch Controls > Safety > Security Alarm. When enabled, Model S activates its
alarm one minute after you exit, the doors
lock, and a recognized key is no longer
detected.
A battery-backed siren sounds in situations where a locked door or trunk is opened and
Model S does not detect a key nearby (if
equipped). If you also want this siren to sound
in situations where
Model S detects motion
inside the cabin, or is moved or tilted (for
example, with a tow truck or jack), turn on the
Tilt/Intrusion setting (touch Controls > Safety > Tilt/Intrusion) (if equipped).
NOTE: If you plan to leave something that
moves inside your locked Model S, remember
to turn off Tilt/Intrusion. If this setting is on,
any motion detected inside Model S activates
the intrusion alarm.
NOTE: If Model S is in Sentry Mode (see Sentry Mode on page 162), you must disable
Sentry Mode before you can disable the
Security alarm or the Tilt/Intrusion alarm.
NOTE: The Security Alarm must be on to
enable Tilt/Intrusion.
NOTE: The Intrusion Sensor automatically
disables in situations where the climate
control system is operating when you have
left your vehicle (see
Keep Climate On, Dog Mode, and Camp Mode on page 139). To
override, you can manually turn the Intrusion
Sensor on again after choosing Keep Climate On, Dog, or Camp Mode (touch
Controls > Safety > Tilt/Intrusion).
If your Model S is equipped with the
Enhanced Anti-Theft upgrade, the horn
sounds in situations where a locked door or trunk is opened and
Model S does not detect
a key nearby. If the Tilt/Intrusion setting is on,
the horn also sounds if Model S detects
motion inside the cabin, or if the vehicle is moved or tilted (for example, with a tow truck
or jack). To turn the Tilt/Intrusion detection system on or
off, touch Controls > Safety > Tilt/Intrusion.
PIN to Drive
To increase security, you can prevent Model S from being driven until a 4-digit PIN (Personal Identification Number) is entered. To enable
this setting, touch Controls > Safety > PIN to Drive and follow the on-screen prompts to
create a driving PIN.
NOTE: When enabled, in addition to entering
the 4-digit driving PIN to drive, you must also
use it to enter Valet mode for the
first time
and create the 4-digit valet PIN that you can
use to enter and exit Valet mode. When in
Valet mode,
Model S can be driven without
the need for the valet to enter a driving PIN.
In addition, the
PIN to Drive setting is
disabled whenever Valet mode is active.
If you forget your driving PIN, or to disable PIN to Drive, return to this setting, touch the
link to enter your Tesla login credentials, then
follow the on-screen prompts.
NOTE: In the unlikely event that your
touchscreen is unresponsive, you may be
unable to enter the PIN. In this case,
first try
to restart the touchscreen (see Restarting the Touchscreen on page 52). If the touchscreen
is still unresponsive, you can still bypass PIN
to Drive by turning on Keyless Driving in the
Tesla mobile app.
Glovebox PIN
For additional security, you can protect the contents in your glovebox with a 4-digit PIN. To enable this setting, touch
Controls > Safety > Glovebox PIN and follow the on-
screen prompts. When enabled, you are
prompted to enter the PIN to open the
glovebox. To disable this setting, select the
toggle to disable and then enter the PIN.
If you forget your glovebox PIN, reset it by
entering your Tesla login credentials, then
follow the on-screen prompts.
NOTE: When you open the glovebox with
both Glovebox PIN and Valet mode enabled,
you are prompted for the glovebox PIN and taken out of Valet mode after the glovebox
opens.
