Tesla Motors Inc 1048598 Manuel D’Utilisation

second time when the first lane change is
complete.

Warning: If Auto Lane Change can not
detect the outside of the target lane
midway through the lane change, both
Auto Lane Change and Autosteer will
cancel. The instrument panel displays a
message instructing you to take over the
steering wheel immediately.

When Auto Lane Change is active, it is

important to monitor its performance by

watching the driving path in front of you. Stay

prepared to take over steering at any time. On

the instrument panel, the lane you are crossing

over displays as a dashed blue line and once in
your new lane, the lane markings display as

solid blue lines.
In situations where Auto Lane Change is

unable to operate at optimal performance, or

can not operate due to inadequate data, the

instrument panel displays a series of warnings.

Therefore, when using Auto Lane Change,

always pay attention to the instrument panel

and be prepared to manually steer Model X.

Warning: When Auto Lane Change is
actively steering Model X, the steering
wheel moves accordingly. Any significant
restriction of the steering wheel's
movement can cancel Auto Lane Change.

Canceling Auto Lane Change

Auto Lane Change cancels when you manually
move the steering wheel, press the brake
pedal, or disengage the turn indicator before
Model X crosses the markers on the existing
lane.

To disable Auto Lane Change so it is no longer
available, touch Controls > Settings > Driver
Assistance > Auto Lane Change > Off.

Limitations

Auto Lane Change is particularly unlikely to
operate as intended in the following types of
situations:

•

Auto Lane Change is unable to accurately
determine lane markings. For example,
lane markings are excessively worn, have
been adjusted due to road construction,
are changing quickly (lanes branching off,
crossing over, or merging), objects or
landscape features are casting strong
shadows on the lane markings, or the road
surface contains pavement seams or other
high-contrast lines.

•

A side collision warning is active (see 

 on page 85) when you engage the

turn signal.

•

The road has sharp curves.

•

Visibility is poor (due to heavy rain, snow,
fog, etc.) or weather conditions are
interfering with sensor operation.

•

Bright light (oncoming headlights or

direct sunlight) is interfering with the

camera's view.

•

A sensor or the camera is damaged or

obstructed (such as by mud, fog, ice, or

snow).

•

The sensors are affected by other

electrical equipment or devices that

generate ultrasonic waves.

•

Model X is being driven very close to a

vehicle in front of it, which is blocking the

camera's view.

Warning: Many unforeseen circumstances
can impair the operation of Auto Lane
Change. Always keep this in mind and
remember that as a result, Auto Lane
Change may not steer Model X
appropriately. Always drive attentively
and stay prepared to immediately take
over steering at any time.
