Collision Avoidance Assist
The following collision avoidance features are
designed to increase the safety of you and
your passengers:
•
Forward Collision Warning - provides
visual and audible warnings in situations
when Model X detects that there is a high
risk of a frontal collision (see
on page 119).
•
Automatic Emergency Braking -
automatically applies braking to reduce
the impact of a frontal collision (see
120).
•
Obstacle-Aware Acceleration - reduces
acceleration if Model X detects an object
in its immediate driving path (see
on page
121).
Warning: Forward Collision Warning is for
guidance purposes only and is not a
substitute for attentive driving and sound
judgment. Keep your eyes on the road
when driving and never depend on
Forward Collision Warning to warn you of
a potential collision. Several factors can
reduce or impair performance, causing
either unnecessary, invalid, inaccurate, or
missed warnings. Depending on Forward
Collision Warning to warn you of a
potential collision can result in serious
injury or death.
Warning: Automatic Emergency Braking
is not designed to prevent all collisions. In
certain situations, it can minimize the
impact of a frontal collision by attempting
to reduce your driving speed. Depending
on Automatic Emergency Braking to
avoid a collision can result in serious
injury or death.
Warning: Obstacle-Aware Acceleration is
not designed to prevent a collision. In
certain situations, it can minimize the
impact of a collision. Depending on
Obstacle-Aware Acceleration to avoid a
collision can result in serious injury or
death.
Forward Collision Warning
The forward looking camera(s) and the radar
sensor monitor the area in front of Model X for
the presence of an object such as a vehicle,
motorcycle, bicycle, or pedestrian. If a collision
is considered likely unless you take immediate
corrective action, Forward Collision Warning is
designed to sound a chime and highlight the
vehicle in front of you in red on the instrument
panel. If this happens, TAKE IMMEDIATE
CORRECTIVE ACTION!
Warnings cancel automatically when the risk
of a collision has been reduced (for example,
you have decelerated or stopped Model X, or
the object in front of your vehicle has moved
out of your driving path).
If immediate action is not taken when Model X
issues a Forward Collision Warning, Automatic
Emergency Braking (if enabled) may
automatically apply the brakes if a collision is
considered imminent (see
on page 120).
By default, Forward Collision Warning is
turned on. To turn it off or adjust its sensitivity,
touch Controls > Autopilot > Forward Collision
Warning. Instead of the default warning level
of Medium, you can turn the warning Off, or
you can choose to be warned Late or Early.
Note: Your chosen setting for Forward
Collision Warning is retained until you
manually change it. It is also saved in your
driver profile.
Warning: The camera(s) and sensors
associated with Forward Collision
Warning are designed to monitor an
approximate area of up to 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.
