Immediately after initiating Smart Summon in either
mode, hazard lights
briefly flash, mirrors fold, and
Model S shifts into Drive or Reverse. Model S then slowly
moves to within
3 feet (1 meter) of you (COME TO ME)
or your chosen destination (GO TO TARGET), navigating obstacles as needed. As
Model S moves, the
corresponding red arrow on the map also moves to
show the vehicle

Model S monitors the markers on the lane you are
driving in as well as the surrounding areas for the presence of vehicles or other objects.
When an object is detected in your blind spot or near
the side of
Model S (such as a vehicle, guard rail, etc.),
the
instrument panel displays colored lines radiating
from the image of your vehicle. 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

Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance
Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance automatically
applies steering to avoid a potential collision in
situations where:

In addition, Lane Assist may not steer Model S away
from an adjacent vehicle, or may apply unnecessary or inappropriate steering, in these situations:

The following collision avoidance features are designed
to increase the safety of you and your passengers:

WARNING: Forward Collision Warning does not
provide a warning when the driver is already
applying the brake.
Automatic Emergency Braking
Model S is designed to determine the distance from a
detected object traveling in front of it. When a frontal collision is considered unavoidable, Automatic Emergency Braking is designed to apply the brakes to
reduce the vehicle

WARNING: Obstacle-Aware Acceleration is
designed to reduce the severity of an impact. It is
not designed to avoid a collision.
WARNING: Obstacle-Aware Acceleration may not
limit torque in all situations. Several factors,
including environmental conditions, distance from
an obstacle, and a driver

How Speed Assist Works
Model S displays a speed limit on the instrument panel
and you can choose if and how you are warned when you exceed the speed limit. 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 S is unable to determine a
speed limit, or if Speed Assist is uncertain that an acquired speed limit is accurate, the
instrument panel
may not display a speed limit sign and warnings do not take
effect.
NOTE: Speed limit warnings go away after ten seconds,
or when
Model S 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:

Your Model S is equipped with a cabin camera located
above the rear view mirror.
The cabin camera can determine driver inattentiveness and provide you with audible alerts, to remind you to keep your eyes on the road when Autopilot is engaged.
By default, images and video from the camera do not
leave the vehicle itself and are not transmitted to
anyone, including Tesla, unless you enable data sharing. If you enable data sharing and a safety critical event
occurs (such as a collision),
Model S shares short cabin
camera video clips with Tesla to help us develop future
safety enhancements and continuously improve the
intelligence of features that rely on the cabin camera.
Data may also be shared if diagnostics are required on cabin camera functionality. Cabin camera does not
perform facial recognition or any other method of identity
verification. To protect your privacy, cabin
camera data is not associated with your vehicle
identification number.
To adjust your data sharing preferences touch Controls >
Software > Data Sharing > Allow Cabin Camera
Analytics. You can change your data sharing settings at
any time.
NOTE: Keep the camera lens clean and free of
obstructions. Remove any buildup of dirt or dust by occasionally wiping the camera lens with a clean cloth.CAUTION: Do not use chemical-based or abrasive
cleaners. Doing so can damage the surface of the
camera lens.
