Warning: Auto Lane Change is designed
to be used only when driving on
restricted-access highways (i.e. with on-
ramps and o-ramps).
If you have purchased the optional Enhanced
Autopilot or Full Self-Driving Capability
packages, you can use Auto Lane Change to
move Model X into an adjacent lane. When
both Trac-Aware Cruise Control and
Autosteer are active, Auto Lane Change
intelligently assists you in steering Model X
into an adjacent driving lane. Using the
forward looking camera(s), the radar sensor,
and ultrasonic sensors, Model X detects lane
markings and the presence of other vehicles.
Auto Lane Change is designed for use on
restricted-access highways with visible lane
markings and under relatively predictable
circumstances in which minimal steering and
driver intervention is needed.
Warning: It is the driver's responsibility to
determine whether a lane change is safe
and appropriate. Auto Lane Change
cannot detect oncoming trac in the
target lane, especially fast moving
vehicles from the rear. Therefore, before
initiating a lane change, always check
blind spots, lane markings, and the
surrounding roadway to
confirm it is safe
and appropriate to move into the target
lane.
Warning: Never depend on Auto Lane
Change to determine an appropriate
driving path. Drive attentively by
watching the road and trac ahead of
you, checking the surrounding area, and
monitoring the instrument panel for
warnings. Always be prepared to take
immediate action.
Warning: Do not use Auto Lane Change
on city streets or on roads where trac
conditions are constantly changing and
where bicycles and pedestrians are
present.
Warning: The performance of Auto Lane
Change depends on the ability of the
camera(s) to recognize lane markings.
Warning: Do not use Auto Lane Change
on winding roads with sharp curves, on
icy or slippery roads, or when weather
conditions (such as heavy rain, snow, fog,
etc.) may be obstructing the view from
the camera(s) or sensors.
Warning: Failure to follow all warnings
and instructions can result in serious
property damage, injury or death.
Operating Auto Lane Change
Before you can operate Auto Lane Change,
you must enable it by touching Controls >
Settings > Driver Assistance > Auto Lane
Change > ON.
Note: Before you can turn on Auto Lane
Change, you must turn on Autosteer (see
Autosteer on page 97). Without Autosteer,
Auto Lane Change cannot operate.
Note: Your chosen setting is retained until you
manually change it. It is also saved in your
driver
profile.
To change lanes using Auto Lane Change:
1. Perform visual checks to make sure it is
safe and appropriate to move into the
target lane.
2. Engage the appropriate turn signal and
initiate the lane change by having your
hands on the steering wheel.
3. Disengage the turn signal after you are in
the target lane.
Auto Lane Change assists in moving Model X
into the adjacent lane in the direction
indicated by the turn signal, provided the
following conditions are met:
Auto Lane Change detected your hands
on the steering wheel.
The Auto Lane Change setting is turned
on.
The turn signal is engaged.
Autosteer is actively steering Model X.
The ultrasonic sensors do not detect a
vehicle or obstacle up to the center of the
target lane.
The lane markings indicate that a lane
change is permitted.
The view of the camera(s) is not
obstructed.
Lane Assist does not detect a vehicle in
the blind spot (see Lane Assist on page
106).
Midway through the lane change, Auto
Lane Change can detect the outside lane
marking of the target lane.
Driving speed is at least 45 km/h.
