Lane Assist
The Autopilot cameras and ultrasonic sensors
monitor the markers on the lane you are
driving in as well as the areas surrounding Model 3 for the presence of vehicles or other
objects.
When an object is detected in your blind spot
or close to the side of Model 3 (such as a
vehicle, guard rail, etc.), colored lines radiate
from the image of your vehicle on the
touchscreen. The location of the lines
correspond to the location of the detected object. The color of the lines (white, yellow,
orange, or red) represent the object

Obstacle-Aware AccelerationObstacle-Aware Acceleration is designed toreduce the impact of a collision by reducing
motor torque if Model 3 detects an object in
its driving path. For example, Model 3, 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 3 still accelerates and hits the
garage door, the reduced torque may result in
less damage.
Obstacle-Aware Acceleration is designed to operate only when all of these conditions are
simultaneously met:

Speed Assist
How Speed Assist Works
Model 3 displays a speed limit on the
touchscreen and you can choose if and how
you are warned when you exceed the speed
limit. You can touch this speed limit sign to automatically change the set speed to thedetected speed limit (including any offsets
that you have set). Also, instead of using the detected speed limit, you can base warnings
on an arbitrary speed limit that you enter manually.
In situations where Model 3 is unable to
determine a speed limit, or if Speed Assist is
uncertain that an acquired speed limit is
accurate, the touchscreen may not display a
speed limit sign and warnings do not take effect.
If you set the speed limit warning to Display
(see Controlling Speed Assist on page 114)
and exceed the determined speed limit, the
speed limit sign on the touchscreen increases
in size.
If you set the speed limit warning to Chime
(see Controlling Speed Assist on page 114)
and exceed the determined speed limit, the
speed limit sign on the touchscreen increases
in size and Model 3 also sounds a warning
chime.
Note: Speed limit warnings go away after ten
seconds, or when Model 3 slows down below
the specified limit.
Warning:
Do not rely on Speed Assist to
determine the appropriate speed limit or driving speed. Always drive at a safe
speed based on traffic and road
conditions.Controlling Speed Assist
To adjust the Speed Limit Warning setting,
touch Controls > Autopilot > Speed Limit
Warning , then choose one of these options:
