Autosteer requires that you pay attention to
your surroundings and remain prepared to
take control at any time. If Autosteer still does
not detect your hands on the steering yoke,
the flashing light on the instrument panel
increases in frequency and a chime sounds.
If you repeatedly ignore Autosteer's prompts
to apply slight force to the steering yoke,
Autosteer disables for the rest of the drive
and displays the following message
requesting you to drive manually. If you don't
resume manual steering, Autosteer sounds a
continuous chime, turns on the warning
flashers, and slows the vehicle to a complete
stop.
Autosteer unavailable for
the rest of this drive. Hold
steering yoke to drive
manually.
For the rest of the drive, you must steer
manually. Autosteer is available again on your
next drive (after you stop and shift Model X
into Park).
Take Over Immediately
In situations where Autosteer is unable to
steer Model X, Autosteer sounds a warning
chime and displays the following message on
the instrument panel:
Take over immediately
When you see this message,
TAKE OVER
STEERING IMMEDIATELY
.
Canceling Autosteer
Autosteer cancels when:
• You press the brake pedal.
• You start steering manually.
• You exceed the maximum speed at which
Autosteer operates – 90 mph (150 km/h).
• You shift.
• A door is opened.
• An Automatic Emergency Braking event
occurs (see
).
When Autosteer cancels, it sounds a chime
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indicate that Autosteer is no longer active, or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 Activation
is set to
Double Click
and Autosteer cancels because
you started steering manually, Traffic-Aware
Cruise Control remains active. If Autosteer
Activation is set to
Single Click
and Autosteer
cancels because you started steering
manually, Traffic-Aware Cruise Control also
cancels.
To disable Autosteer so it is no longer
available, touch
Controls

Autopilot
>
Autosteer (Beta)
.
Auto Lane Change
NOTE:
Depending on market region, vehicle
configuration, options purchased, and
software version, your vehicle may not be
equipped with Auto Lane Change, or the
feature may not operate exactly as described.
When Autosteer is active, engage a turn
signal to move Model X into an adjacent lane
(moving the steering yoke would cancel
Autosteer).
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.
