Autosteer is Aborting
In situations where Autosteer is unable to
assist in steering Model S, Autosteer aborts,
sounds a warning chime, and displays the
following message on the instrument panel:
Canceling Autosteer
Autosteer cancels when:
• You apply rotational force to the steering
wheel (even a slight amount).
• You press the brake pedal.
• You push the cruise control lever away
from you.
• The maximum speed that Autosteer
supports–150 km/h–is exceeded.
• You shift into a different gear.
• A door is opened.
• An Automatic Emergency Braking event
).
When Autosteer cancels, it sounds chimes
and the Autosteer icon either turns gray to
indicate that Autosteer is no longer active, or
disappears to indicate that it is not currently
available.
NOTE:
If Autosteer cancels because you
applied rotational force to the steering wheel,
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control remains active.
Disengage Traffic-Aware Cruise Control as
you normally would, by briefly pushing the
cruise control lever away from you or pressing
the brake pedal.

available, touch

Auto Lane Change
When Autosteer is active on a vehicle
equipped with Auto Lane Change, you can
use the turn signals to move Model S into an
adjacent lane.
WARNING:
It is the driver's
responsibility to determine whether a
lane change is safe and appropriate.
Therefore, before initiating a lane
change, always check blind spots, lane
markings, and the surrounding
roadway to confirm it is safe and
appropriate to move into the target
lane.
WARNING:
Never depend on Auto
Lane Change to determine an
appropriate driving path. Drive
attentively by watching the road and
traffic ahead of you, checking the
surrounding area, and monitoring the
instrument panel for warnings. Always
be prepared to take immediate action.
WARNING:
Do not use Auto Lane
Change on city streets or on roads
where traffic conditions are constantly
changing and where bicycles and
pedestrians are present.
WARNING:
The performance of Auto
Lane Change depends on the ability of
the camera(s) to recognize lane
markings.
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. Lightly push the turn signal up or down
(do not push the lever fully up or down)
to turn left or right respectively. Initiate
the lane change by having your hands on
the steering wheel.
3. Disengage the turn signal after you are in
the target lane.
