The cameras monitor the markers on the lane
you are driving in and the ultrasonic sensors
monitor the surrounding areas and the blind
spot for the presence of a vehicle or other
objects.
When an object is detected in your blind spot
or close to the side of Model X (such as a
vehicle, guard rail, etc.), colored lines radiate
from the image of Model X on the instrument
panel. The location of the lines correspond to
the location of the detected object. The color
of the lines (white, yellow, orange, or red)
represents the object's proximity to Model X,
with white being the farthest and red being
very close and requiring your immediate
attention. These colored lines only display
when driving between approximately 12 km/h
and 140 km/h. When Autosteer is active, these
colored lines also display if driving slower than
12 km/h. However, the colored lines do not
display if Model X is at a standstill (for
example, in heavy
trac).
Lane Assist also warns you of undesired lane
departures by vibrating the steering wheel
slightly if a front wheel passes over a lane
marking and the associated turn signal is
o.
This warning is active only when driving
between approximately 59 and 150 km/h. To
turn this warning on or
o, touch Controls >
Settings > Driver Assistance > Lane
Departure Warning. Your chosen setting is
retained until you manually change it. It is also
saved in your driver
profile.
In addition to the warnings previously
described, Lane Assist may provide steering
interventions if Model X drifts into (or close
to) an adjacent lane in which an object, such
as a vehicle, is detected. In these situations,
Model X automatically steers to a safer
position in its driving lane. This steering is
applied only when Model X is traveling
between 48 and 140 km/h on major roadways
with clearly visible lane markings. When Lane
Assist applies a steering intervention, the
instrument panel
briefly displays a warning
message.
Warning: Steering interventions are
minimal and are not designed to move
Model X out of its driving lane. Do not
rely on steering interventions to avoid
side collisions.
Warning: Lane Assist features are for
guidance purposes only and are not
intended to replace your own direct visual
checks. Never depend on Lane Assist to
inform you of unintentionally driving
outside of the boundaries of the driving
lane or informing you that an object or
vehicle is in your blind spot or close to
the side of your vehicle. Several external
factors can reduce the performance of
Lane Assist. It is the driver's responsibility
to stay alert, pay attention to the driving
lane and always be aware of other road
users. Failure to do so can result in
serious injury or death.
Warning: Lane Assist is designed to
detect lane markings and may not detect
the edge of a road, especially if the road
has no curb. It is the driver's responsibility
to drive attentively and stay within the
boundaries of the driving lane.
Warning: Before changing lanes, always
visually check the lane you are moving
into by using side mirrors and performing
the appropriate shoulder checks. Several
factors can aect the performance of the
Lane Assist warnings, resulting in lack of,
or false warnings (see Limitations and
Inaccuracies on page 106).
Limitations and Inaccuracies
Lane Assist cannot always clearly detect lane
markings and you may experience
unnecessary or invalid warnings in these
situations:
