If your Model S is equipped with Driver
Assistance components (see
on page 73), 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 S detects that there is a high
risk of a frontal collision.
•
Automatic Emergency Braking
-
automatically applies braking to reduce
the impact of a frontal collision (see
95).
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 a collision. At
best, 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.
Forward Collision Warning
The forward looking camera(s) and the radar
sensor monitor the area in front of Model S for
the presence of an object such as a vehicle,
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 S, or
the object in front of your vehicle has moved
out of your driving path).
If immediate action is not taken when Model S
issues a Forward Collision Warning, Automatic
Emergency Braking (if enabled) may
automatically apply the brakes if a collision is
considered imminent (see
on page 95).
By default, Forward Collision Warning is
turned on. To turn it off or adjust its sensitivity,
touch
Controls

Driver

>
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 525 feet
(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.
Warning:
Forward Collision Warning is
designed only to provide visual and
audible alerts. It does not attempt to
apply the brakes or decelerate Model S.
When seeing and/or hearing a warning, it
is the driver's responsibility to take
corrective action immediately.
Warning:
Forward Collision Warning may
provide a warning in situations where the
likelihood of collision may not exist. Stay
