Note: Autosteer is a BETA feature.
If your Model S is equipped with Driver
Assistance components (see About Driver
Assistance on page 73), and you have
purchased the optional Enhanced Autopilot or
Full Self-Driving Capability packages, you can
use Autosteer to manage steering and speed
under certain circumstances. Autosteer builds
upon
Trac-Aware Cruise Control (see
Trac-Aware Cruise Control on page 76),
intelligently keeping Model S in its driving lane
when cruising at a set speed. Using the
vehicle's camera(s), the radar sensor, and the
ultrasonic sensors, Autosteer detects lane
markings and the presence of vehicles and
objects, assisting you in steering Model S
based on the lane markings and the vehicle
directly in front of you.
Warning: Autosteer is a hands-on feature.
You must keep your hands on the steering
wheel at all times.
Warning: Autosteer is intended for use
only on highways and limited-access
roads with a fully attentive driver. When
using Autosteer, hold the steering wheel
and be mindful of road conditions and
surrounding trac. Do not use Autosteer
on city streets, in construction zones, or
in areas where bicyclists or pedestrians
may be present. Never depend on
Autosteer to determine an appropriate
driving path. Always be prepared to take
immediate action. Failure to follow these
instructions could cause damage, serious
injury or death.
Operating Autosteer
Before you can operate Autosteer, you must
enable it by touching Controls > Settings >
Driver Assistance > Autosteer > ON.
To indicate that Autosteer is
available (but not actively
steering Model S), the
instrument panel displays a
gray Autosteer iconon the
right side of the driving
speed.
To initiate Autosteer, pull the cruise control
lever toward you twice in quick succession.
Autosteer briefly displays a message on the
instrument panel reminding you to pay
attention to the road and have your hands on
the steering wheel. To indicate that Autosteer
is now actively assisting in steering Model S,
the instrument panel displays the Autosteer
icon in blue. When Autosteer is able to detect
lane markings, it also displays the driving lane
in blue.
Note: To initiate Autosteer when there is no
vehicle in front of you, you must be driving at
least 30 km/h on a roadway with visible lane
markings. If a vehicle is detected ahead of
you, you can initiate Autosteer at any speed,
even when stationary (if you are at least 150
cm away from the vehicle).
The instrument panel displays a message
indicating that Autosteer is temporarily
unavailable if you attempted to engage
Autosteer when driving at a speed that is not
within the speed required for Autosteer to
operate. Autosteer may also be unavailable if
it is not receiving adequate data from the
camera(s) or sensors.
