every situation and does not replace the need
to remain attentive and in control.
Warning: Keep your hands on the steering
wheel at all times. If the vehicle senses
your hands are not on the steering wheel,
Model X sounds a chime and the hazard
warning lights flash.
Warning: Steering interventions are
minimal and are not designed to move
Model X out of its driving lane. Do not
rely on steering interventions to avoid
side collisions.
Emergency Lane Departure
Avoidance
Depending on your vehicle's configuration,
this feature may not be available.
For emergency situations, Emergency Lane
Departure Avoidance attempts to prevent a
potential collision with a vehicle in an adjacent
lane by steering Model X back into your
driving lane when traveling between 64 and
145 km/h). This operates if the cameras can
detect the edge of the lane, such as a lane line
or curb. When this steering intervention is
applied, you will hear a chime and the
instrument panel displays a warning while
highlighting the lane line red until Model X
returns to the driving lane. To turn on or off,
touch Controls > Autopilot > Emergency Lane
Departure Avoidance.
Blind Spot Collision Warning Chime
If you want a chime to sound when a vehicle is
in your blind spot and possible collision is
detected, touch Controls > Autopilot > Blind
Spot Collision Warning Chime.
Warning: Blind Spot Collision Warning
Chime cannot detect every collision. It is
the driver's responsibility to remain alert
and check their blind spots.
Limitations and Inaccuracies
Lane Assist cannot always clearly detect lane
markings and you may experience
unnecessary or invalid warnings in these
situations:
•
Visibility is poor and lane markings are not
clearly visible (due to heavy rain, snow,
fog, etc.). The exact detection zone of the
ultrasonic sensors varies depending on
environmental conditions.
•
Bright light (such as from oncoming
headlights or direct sunlight) is interfering
with the view of the camera(s).
•
A vehicle in front of Model X is blocking
the view of the camera(s).
•
The windshield is obstructing the view of
the camera(s) (fogged over, dirty, covered
by a sticker, etc.).
•
Lane markings are excessively worn, have
visible previous markings, have been
adjusted due to road construction, or are
changing quickly (for example, lanes
branching off, crossing over, or merging).
•
The road is narrow or winding.
•
Objects or landscape features are casting
strong shadows on lane markers.
Lane Assist may not provide warnings, or may
apply inappropriate warnings, in these
situations:
•
One or more of the ultrasonic sensors is
damaged, dirty, or obstructed (such as by
mud, ice, or snow).
•
Weather conditions (heavy rain, snow, fog,
or extremely hot or cold temperatures)
are interfering with sensor operation.
•
The sensors are affected by other
electrical equipment or devices that
generate ultrasonic waves.
•
An object that is mounted to Model X is
interfering with and/or obstructing a
sensor (such as a bike rack or a bumper
sticker).
In addition, Lane Assist may not steer Model X
away from an adjacent vehicle, or may apply
unnecessary or inappropriate steering, in
these situations:
•
You are driving Model X on sharp corners
or on a curve at a relatively high speed.
•
Bright light (such as from oncoming
headlights or direct sunlight) is interfering
with the view of the camera(s).
•
You are drifting into another lane but an
object (such as a vehicle) is not present.
•
A vehicle in another lane cuts in front of
you or drifts into your driving lane.
•
Model X is traveling less than 48 km/h or
over 145 km/h.
•
One or more of the ultrasonic sensors is
damaged, dirty, or obstructed (such as by
mud, ice, or snow).
•
Weather conditions (heavy rain, snow, fog,
or extremely hot or cold temperatures)
are interfering with sensor operation.
