Driving StatusWhen Model 3 is driving (or ready to drive),
the touchscreen shows your current driving
status and a real-time visualization of the road
as detected by the Autopilot components (see About Autopilot on page 84). The
visualization automatically zooms in and out
to better utilize touchscreen space and inform
you when a vehicle is detected in your blind
spot.
Note: The following illustration is provided for
demonstration purposes only. Depending on vehicle options, software version, and market
region, the information displayed may be
slightly different.
1.Driving speed.
2. On the energy bar, black (or white in night
brightness) represents energy being used
during acceleration and green indicates
energy being gained through regenerative
braking. A dashed line appears on the
energy bar when power available for
acceleration or power that can be gained
by regenerative braking is being limited. Model 3 limits power for many reasons.
Here are just a few examples:

Note: Dashcam is a BETA feature.
In addition to supporting Autopilot features,
the cameras can record and store video
footage on a USB

About Autopilot
How It Works Your Model 3 includes the following Autopilot components that actively monitor the surrounding
roadway:
1. A camera is mounted above the rear license plate.
2. Ultrasonic sensors are located in the front and rear bumpers.
3. A camera is mounted in each door pillar.
4. Three cameras are mounted to the windshield above the rear view mirror.
5. A camera is mounted to each front fender.
6. Radar is mounted behind the front bumper.
Model 3 is also equipped with high precision electronically-assisted braking and steering systems.

so can cause one or more Autopilot
features to malfunction.
Cleaning Cameras and Sensors
To ensure the various Autopilot components
can provide information that is as accurate as
possible, keep them clean and free of
obstructions or damage. Occasionally remove
any buildup of dirt by wiping the components
with a soft cloth dampened with warm water.
Caution: Do not use chemical-based or
abrasive cleaners. Doing so can damage
surfaces.Caution: Avoid using a high-pressure
power washer.Caution: Do not clean an ultrasonic sensor
or camera lens with a sharp or abrasive
object that can scratch or damage its
surface.

Traffic-Aware
Cruise Control
Note: Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is a BETA
feature.
Note: If your vehicle is not equipped with an
optional Autopilot package, refer to the owner

because obstacles can appear quickly
and at any time.Warning: Navigate on Autopilot may not
recognize or detect oncoming vehicles,
stationary objects, and special-use lanes
such as those used exclusively for bikes,
carpools, emergency vehicles, etc.
Remain alert at all times and be prepared
to take immediate action. Failure to do so
can cause damage, injury or death.
Enabling and Customizing Navigate on
Autopilot
To enable Navigate on Autopilot, touch
Controls > Autopilot > Navigate on Autopilot
(Beta) . Then, to customize how you want
Navigate on Autopilot to operate, touch
CUSTOMIZE NAVIGATE ON AUTOPILOT :

When Navigate on Autopilot is active and you
approach an off-ramp or freeway interchange
along your navigation route, the appropriate
turn signal engages and Autosteer maneuvers Model 3 onto the off-ramp or interchange.
Warning: Never depend on Navigate on
Autopilot to determine an appropriate lane at an off-ramp. Stay alert and
perform visual checks to ensure that the driving lane is safe and appropriate.
When you leave a controlled-access road (for
example, you exit a freeway or you enter a section of the navigation route that is no
longer supported), Navigate on Autopilot
reverts back to Autosteer

If Require Lane Change Confirmation is turned
on, you must engage the appropriate turn signal to confirm that you want Navigate on
Autopilot to make the lane change. If you do
not confirm the lane change within three
seconds, a chime sounds to remind you that
Navigate on Autopilot requires your
confirmation to change lanes.
Note: If you ignore a route-based lane change
suggestion (for example, you are driving in the
left lane while approaching an off-ramp on the
right side of the highway), Navigate on
Autopilot will be unable to maneuver onto the off-ramp and as a result, the navigation
system will re-route you to your destination.Warning: Navigate on Autopilot may not
always attempt to exit at an off-ramp or
change lanes, even when an exit or lane
change is determined by the navigation
route. Always remain alert and be prepared to manually steer onto an off-
ramp, or make a lane change to prepare
for, or to exit at, an off-ramp or
interchange.
Be Ready to Assist
When attempting to change lanes or
maneuver Model 3, or when approaching
construction zones, Navigate on Autopilot
may be unable to determine the appropriate
driving lane (for example, complex clover leafs
and multi-lane off-ramps) and the touchscreen
displays an alert indicating that Navigate on
Autopilot is trying to maneuver and may
require assistance. When you see the
message, be prepared to take immediate
action to ensure that it is safe and appropriate
to complete the lane change or maneuver.
Limitations
Autosteer and its associated functions are
particularly unlikely to operate as intended
when:
