your vehicle may not be equipped with all Autopilot
features.
You can enable/disable some of these features and in
some cases, control how they work. To access settings,
touch Controls > Autopilot.
Drive to Calibrate Cameras
Model S must maneuver with a great deal of precision
when Autopilot features are being used. Therefore,
before some features (for example,
Trac-Aware Cruise
Control or Autosteer) can be used for the first time or
after certain Service repairs, the cameras must complete
a self-calibration process. For your convenience, a
progress indicator is displayed on the
instrument panel.
Calibration typically completes after driving 20-25 miles
(32-40 km), but the distance varies depending on road
and environmental conditions. Driving on a straight road
with highly-visible lane lines allows
Model S to calibrate
quicker. When calibration is complete, the Autopilot
features are available for use. Contact Tesla only if your
Model S has not completed the calibration process after
driving
100 miles (160 km).
NOTE:
If you attempt to use a feature that is not
available until the calibration process is complete, the
feature will not be enabled and the instrument panel
displays a message.
NOTE: Model S must repeat the calibration process if the
cameras are serviced by Tesla, and in some cases, after a
software update.
NOTE: The self-calibration drive process is only
applicable to
Model S vehicles built after approximately
October 12, 2016.
NOTE: If the cameras have moved out of their calibrated
position (for example, due to a camera or windshield
replacement), the calibration can be cleared by touching
Controls > Service > Camera Calibration > Clear
Calibration. Once the calibration has been cleared, the
self-driving calibration drive must be performed again.
Limitations
Many factors can impact the performance of Autopilot
components, causing them to be unable to function as
intended. These include (but are not limited to):
•
Poor visibility (due to heavy rain, snow, fog, etc.).
•
Bright light (due to oncoming headlights, direct
sunlight, etc.).
•
Damage or obstructions caused by mud, ice, snow,
etc.
•
Interference or obstruction by object(s) mounted
onto the vehicle (such as a bike rack).
•
Obstruction caused by applying excessive paint or
adhesive products (such as wraps, stickers, rubber
coating, etc.) onto the vehicle.
•
Narrow or winding roads.
•
A damaged or misaligned bumper.
•
Interference from other equipment that generates
ultrasonic waves.
•
Extremely hot or cold temperatures.
WARNING:
The list above does not represent an
exhaustive list of situations that may interfere with
proper operation of Autopilot components. Never
depend on these components to keep you safe. It
is the driver's responsibility to stay alert, drive
safely, and be in control of the vehicle at all times.
CAUTION:
If a windshield replacement is needed,
take your vehicle to Tesla Service. This will ensure
appropriate handling and mounting of the
camera(s). Failure to do so can cause one or more
Autopilot features to malfunction.
