Model X 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 X (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's proximity to
Model X, with white being the farthest and
red being the closest and requiring your
immediate attention. These colored lines only
display when driving between approximately
7 and 85 mph (12 and 140 km/h). When
Autosteer is active, these colored lines also
display if driving slower than 7 mph (12
km/h). However, the colored lines do not
display if Model X is at a standstill (for
example, in heavy traffic).
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:
Lane Assist features are
for guidance purposes only and is not
intended to replace your own direct
visual checks. Before changing lanes,
always use side mirrors and perform
the appropriate shoulder checks to
visually determine if it is safe and
appropriate to change lanes.
WARNING:
Never depend on Lane
Assist to inform you if you
unintentionally drive outside of the
driving lane, or to inform you that
there is a vehicle beside you or in your
blind spot. Several external factors can
reduce the performance of Lane Assist
(see
Limitations and Inaccuracies on
responsibility to stay alert and pay
attention to the driving lane and other
road users. Failure to do so can result
in serious injury or death.
Steering Interventions
Lane Assist provides steering interventions if
Model X drifts into (or close to) an adjacent
lane in which an object, such as a vehicle, is
detected. In these situations, Model X
automatically steers to a safer position in the
driving lane. This steering is applied only
when Model X is traveling between 30 and 85
mph (48 and 140 km/h) on major roads with
clearly visible lane markings. When a steering
intervention is applied, the instrument panel
briefly displays a warning message.
Lane Departure Avoidance
Lane Departure Avoidance is designed to
warn you if Model X is drifting out of, or nears
the edge of, your driving lane.
Lane Departure Avoidance operates when
driving between 40 and 90 mph (64 and 145
km/h) on roads with clearly visible lane
markings. You can choose if and how you
want Lane Departure Warning to operate by
touching

and selecting between
these options:
•
Off
: You are not warned of lane
departures or potential collisions with a
vehicle in an adjacent lane.
•
Warning
: If a front wheel passes over a
lane marking, the steering yoke vibrates.
•
Assist
: Corrective steering is applied to
keep Model X in a safe position if Model X
drifts into an adjacent lane or near the
edge of the road.
