Model 3 is departing a lane and may collide with a
vehicle traveling in the same direction in the adjacent
lane (regardless of the status of the turn signal).
Model 3 is departing a lane into an oncoming lane,
the turn signal is o, and an oncoming vehicle is
detected.
Model 3 is departing the roadway and the turn signal
is o (for example, very close to the edge of the road
and a collision may occur).
To turn this feature on or o, touch Controls > Autopilot
> Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance. Your setting is
retained and saved to your Driver
Profile until you
manually change it.
When Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance applies
steering, you will hear a chime and the
touchscreen
highlights the lane line in red and displays a warning.
Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance operates when
Model 3 is traveling between 40 and 90 mph (64 and
145 km/h) on a roadway with clearly visible lane
markings, curbs, etc.
WARNING:
Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance
is not a substitute for attentive driving and sound
judgment. Keep your eyes on the road when
driving and never depend on Emergency Lane
Departure Avoidance to prevent a collision. Several
factors can reduce or impair performance.
Depending on Emergency Lane Departure
Avoidance to prevent a potential collision can
result in serious injury or death.
Blind Spot Collision Warning Chime
If you want a chime to sound when a vehicle is in your
blind spot and a 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.
Adjacent Lane Speed
Due to market region and vehicle configuration, this
feature may not be available on your vehicle.
When your vehicle is moving significantly faster than
vehicles in adjacent lanes, Model 3 automatically reduces
your driving speed. This is especially helpful in heavy
trac situations or when vehicles are constantly
merging into
dierent lanes. When Model 3 detects that
other vehicles are driving significantly slower, the
touchscreen highlights the adjacent lanes with arrows
and detected vehicles in gray, slowing your vehicle down
as appropriate. You can temporarily override this feature
by pressing the accelerator pedal. Never rely on
Autopilot to determine a safe driving speed; you are
responsible for the vehicle and obeying
trac laws.
Limitations and Inaccuracies
Lane Assist features cannot always 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 3 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
o, 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 aected by other electrical
equipment or devices that generate ultrasonic waves.
An object that is mounted to Model 3 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 3 away
from an adjacent vehicle, or may apply unnecessary or
inappropriate steering, in these situations:
You are driving Model 3 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.
