Stop Signs and Road Markings
When driving with Autosteer or Traffic-aware Cruise Control engaged, and Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control
enabled,
Model S is designed to respond as follows when approaching intersections controlled by stop signs, stop
lines, or road markings:
Type of IntersectionVehicle Intended Response
No Traffic Control
Arm of T-junction
Model S assumes the right of way and continues straight without slowing down or
stopping.
End of T-junction
If Model S detects a T-junction based on the map data, Model S slows down and
comes to a complete stop at the red stop line displayed on the
instrument panel.
When you want to proceed, you must take over steering and acceleration.
WARNING: Model S may not stop at a T-junction that does not have a stop sign
or stop line, or if the T-junction is not included in the map data. Drive
attentively and be prepared to stop (when necessary and/or appropriate).
Stop Sign
Model S slows down and comes to a complete stop at the red stop line displayed on
the
instrument panel. When you want to proceed through the intersection, you must
briefly press the accelerator pedal.
NOTE: If you confirm that you want to proceed through an intersection controlled by
a stop sign by
briefly pressing the accelerator pedal before Model S has stopped,
your
confirmation is ignored. Model S is not designed to proceed through a stop sign
without stopping.
NOTE: Even when using Autosteer, and even if you have engaged a turn signal, you
must turn the
steering yoke (or steering wheel) yourself (which cancels Autosteer)
to complete a turn at an intersection.

WARNING: Model S also slows down and stops at a roundabout. You must take over steering (which cancels
Autosteer) and briefly press the accelerator pedal to confirm that you want to continue through the
roundabout.
WARNING: At crosswalks, Model S may slow down and may stop, depending on whether the crosswalk is
controlled by a traffic light and whether the cameras detect pedestrians, bicyclists, etc. in the crosswalk. Pay
particular attention at crosswalks and be prepared to take over at any time. Failure to do so can result in injury
or death.
Limitations
Depending on many different circumstances and environmental conditions, Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control may
or may not stop at:

NOTE: Depending on market region, vehicle
configuration, options purchased, and software version,
your vehicle may not be equipped with Autopark.
Autopark uses data to simplify parking on public roads by maneuvering
Model S into parallel and perpendicular
parking spaces.
CAUTION: Ensure all cameras and sensors (if
equipped) are clean. Dirty cameras and sensors, as
well as environmental conditions such as rain and
faded lane markings, can affect Autopilot
performance.
WARNING: Autopark

To Pause Parking
To pause Autopark, press the brake pedal once. Model S
stops and remains stopped until you touch Resume on
the touchscreen.
To Cancel Parking
Autopark cancels the parking sequence when you
manually move the
steering yoke (or steering wheel),
shift, or touch
Cancel on the touchscreen. Autopark also
cancels parking when:

NOTE: Depending on market region, vehicle
configuration, options purchased, and software version,
your vehicle may not be equipped with Summon, or the
feature may not operate exactly as described.
Summon allows you to automatically park and retrieve
Model S while you are standing outside the vehicle.
Summon moves
Model S forward and reverse up to 39
feet (12 meters) in, or out of, a parking space.
To move Model S a longer distance while steering
around objects, you can use Smart Summon
(if
equipped) and your mobile phone. Smart Summon
allows your vehicle to
find you (or you can send your
vehicle to a chosen location). See
Smart Summon on
page 108.
CAUTION: Ensure all cameras and sensors (if
equipped) are clean. Dirty cameras and sensors, as
well as environmental conditions such as rain and
faded lane markings, can affect Autopilot
performance.
WARNING: Summon is designed and intended for
use only on parking lots and driveways on private
property where the surrounding area is familiar
and predictable.
WARNING: Summon is a BETA feature. You must
continually monitor the vehicle and its
surroundings and stay prepared to take immediate
action at any time. It is the driver
