material under or on top of the Tesla-
supplied driver’s floor mat (including an
additional mat) and always ensure that
the driver’s floor mat is properly secured.
Failure to do so can impede the ability of
the brake pedal to move freely.
Note: For advance notice of an Automatic
Emergency Braking event, turn on Forward
Collision Warning (see Forward Collision
Warning on page 108). When turned on, you
hear a chime and see a collision warning on
the instrument panel if a collision is
considered likely. Then, if you do not take
immediate corrective action, a collision is
considered imminent and Automatic
Emergency Braking applies braking to reduce
driving speed. If enabled, Automatic
Emergency Braking applies braking when a
collision is considered inevitable, even if
Forward Collision Warning is turned
o.
Pedal Misapplication Mitigation
Pedal Misapplication Mitigation is designed to
reduce the impact of a collision by reducing
motor torque and in some cases, applying the
brakes, if Model X detects an object in its
driving path and has determined that you
have accidentally pressed the accelerator
pedal (instead of the brake pedal). For
example, Model X, while parked in front of a
closed garage door with the Drive gear
engaged, detects that you have pressed hard
on the accelerator pedal. Although Model X
still accelerates and hits the garage door, the
reduced torque may result in less damage.
When the torque is reduced, the instrument
panel displays:
To override this feature and resume normal
motor torque (and cancel any automated
braking that may be in
eect), release and
reapply the accelerator pedal.
Pedal Misapplication Mitigation is designed to
operate only when all of these conditions are
met:
• A driving gear is engaged (Drive or
Reverse).
• Model X is stopped or traveling less than
10 mph (16 km/h).
• Model X detects an object in its
immediate driving path.
• Pressure on the accelerator pedal pressure
exceeds 50%.
Pedal Misapplication Mitigation is enabled
whenever Automatic Emergency Braking is
enabled (see Automatic Emergency Braking
on page 109).
Warning: Pedal Misapplication Mitigation
is designed to reduce the severity of an
impact. It is not designed to avoid a
collision.
Warning: Pedal Misapplication Mitigation
may not limit torque in all situations.
Several factors, including environmental
conditions, distance from an obstacle,
and a driver's actions, can limit, delay, or
inhibit Pedal Misapplication Mitigation.
Warning: Do not rely on Pedal
Misapplication Mitigation to control
acceleration or to avoid, or limit, the
severity of a collision, and do not attempt
to test Pedal Misapplication Mitigation.
Doing so can result in serious property
damage, injury, or death.
Warning: Several factors can aect the
performance of Pedal Misapplication
Mitigation, causing an inappropriate or
untimely reduction in motor torque
and/or undesired braking. It is the driver's
responsibility to drive safely and remain
in control of Model X at all times.
Limitations and Inaccuracies
Collision Avoidance features cannot always
detect all objects, vehicles, bikes, or
pedestrians, and you may experience
unnecessary, inaccurate, invalid, or missed
warnings for many reasons, particularly if:
• The road has sharp curves.
• Visibility is poor (due to heavy rain, snow,
fog, etc.).
• Bright light (such as from oncoming
headlights or direct sunlight) is interfering
with the view of the camera(s).
• The radar sensor is obstructed (dirty,
covered, etc.).
• The windshield is obstructing the view of
the camera(s) (fogged over, dirty, covered
by a sticker, etc.).
Warning:
The limitations previously
described do not represent an exhaustive
list of situations that may interfere with
proper operation of Collision Avoidance
Assist features. These features may fail to
provide their intended function for many
other reasons. It is the driver’s
responsibility to avoid collisions by
staying alert and paying attention to the
Collision Avoidance Assist
