Camera Location
Model X is equipped with a rear view camera
located above the rear license plate.
Whenever you shift into Reverse, the
touchscreen displays the view from the
camera. Guide lines show your driving path
based on the position of the steering wheel. These guide lines adjust appropriately as you
move the steering wheel.
Note: Visual feedback from the parking
sensors displays below the camera image (see
Park Assist on page 57).
Warning: Never depend on the rear view
camera to inform you if the area behind
you is free of objects and/or people when
reversing. The camera may not detect
objects or barriers that can potentially
cause damage or injury. In addition, several external factors can reduce the
performance of the camera, including a
dirty or obstructed lens. Therefore,
depending on the rear view camera to
determine if Model X is approaching an
obstruction can result in damage to the vehicle and/or objects, and can
potentially cause serious injury. Always
inspect the area with your own eyes.
When reversing, perform shoulder checks and use all mirrors. Use the camera forguidance purposes only. It is not intended
to replace your own direct visual checks
and is not a substitute for careful driving.
Cleaning the Camera
To ensure a clear picture, keep the camera lens clean, and free of obstructions. Remove any
buildup of dirt by occasionally wiping the
camera lens with a soft damp cloth.
Caution: Do not use chemical-based or
abrasive cleaners. Doing so can damage
the surface of the camera lens.

Note: Autosteer is a BETA feature in Release
7.0.
If Model X is equipped with Driver Assistance
components (see About Driver Assistance on
page 72), and you have purchased the optional Autopilot Tech Package, you can use
Autosteer to manage steering and speed under certain circumstances. Autosteer builds
upon
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control,
intelligently keeping Model X in its driving lane
when cruising at a set speed. Using the
forward looking camera, the radar sensor, and
the ultrasonic sensors, Autosteer detects lane
markings and the presence of vehicles and
objects, assisting you in steering Model Xbased 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 controlled-access roads with a fully attentive driver. Holdthe steering wheel and be mindful of road
conditions and surrounding
traffic while
using Autosteer. Do not use Autosteer on
city streets 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 serious property damage, injury or
death.
Operating Autosteer
Before you can operate Autosteer, you must
enable it by touching Controls > Settings > Driver Assistance > Autosteer > Enable. You
can also choose whether you want to hear a chime when Autosteer is enabled or disabled.
To indicate that Autosteer is available (but notactively steering Model X), the instrumentpanel displays a gray Autosteer icon on theright side of the driving speed as shown here:
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 X, the instrument panel displays the Autosteericon in blue. When Autosteer is able to detectlane markings, it also displays the driving lane
in blue:
Note: To initiate Autosteer, 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.
Note: When using Autosteer on residential
roads, or any road without a center divider,
driving speed is limited to a maximum of
70 km/h. When Autosteer detects that you are
driving on these types of roads, it reduces the speed to 70 km/h, if necessary, even if the set
cruising speed is higher. If you use the
accelerator pedal to increase driving speed
above 70 km/h, Autosteer sounds a repeated chime. When you leave the residential road (or
road without a center divider), or disengage
Autosteer by using the steering wheel, Model S resumes cruising at the set speed.
Note: In most cases, Autosteer attempts to
center Model X in the driving lane. However, if
the sensors detect the presence an obstacle (such as a vehicle or guard rail), Autosteer
may steer Model X in a driving path that is
offset from the center of the lane.

Hold Steering WheelAutosteer uses data from the camera, sensors,and GPS system to determine where to drive.It also requires you to hold the steering wheel. When entering a curve, if Autosteer does not
detect your hands on the steering wheel, it displays the following message on the
instrument panel and eventually sounds a
chime:
When you see this message, you may need to tighten your grip on the steering wheel. When
your hands are detected, Autosteer resumes normal operation.
If Autosteer does not detect your hands on
the steering wheel, the Hold Steering Wheel
request escalates by sounding two additional chimes. The chimes increase in frequency until
Autosteer detects your hands. If no action is
taken, Autosteer begins to decelerate Model X
and displays the following message on the
instrument panel:
Autosteer will eventually decelerate Model X
to a full stop and then turn on the hazard
warning
flashers.
Autosteer is Aborting
In situations where Autosteer is unable to assist in steering Model X, Autosteer aborts,sounds a warning chime, and displays the
following message on the instrument panel:
Canceling Autosteer
Autosteer cancels when:

Page 83 of 179

Note: Auto Lane Change assists in movingModel X one lane at a time. Moving into an
additional lane requires you to engage the
turn signal a second time when the
first lane
change is complete.
Warning: If Auto Lane Change can not
detect the outside of the target lane
midway through the lane change, both
Auto Lane Change and Autosteer will cancel. The instrument panel displays a
message instructing you to take over the
steering wheel immediately.
When Auto Lane Change is active, it is
important to monitor its performance by
watching the driving path in front of you. Stay
prepared to take over steering at any time. On the instrument panel, the lane you are crossing
over displays as a dashed blue line and once in your new lane, the lane markings display as
solid blue lines.
In situations where Auto Lane Change is
unable to operate at optimal performance, or
can not operate due to inadequate data, the
instrument panel displays a series of warnings.
Therefore, when using Auto Lane Change,
always pay attention to the instrument panel
and be prepared to manually steer Model X.
Warning: When Auto Lane Change is
actively assisting in steering Model X, the steering wheel moves accordingly.

the steering wheel, any

Calibration
During a parking sequence, Autopark must
maneuver Model X with a great deal of
precision. Therefore, before it can be used, Autopark must complete a calibration process.Calibration can take anywhere from 30
minutes to several days, depending on driving
behavior. When Autopark is calibrating, you
will see a note on the Driver Assistance
settings screen indicating that calibration is in
progress. When calibration is complete, this
note no longer displays and Autopark is available for use.
Note: Autopark will repeat the calibration
process whenever tires are changed.
Canceling Autopark Autopark cancels when you manually move
the steering wheel during a parking sequence,
or when you change gears. Autopark also
cancels when:
