lane TESLA MODEL 3 2023 User Guide

This feature may be temporarily limited or inactive until
it is enabled with a future software update for vehicles
manufactured as of approximately October 2022.
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 3 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

This feature may be temporarily limited or inactive until
it is enabled with a future software update for vehicles
manufactured as of approximately October 2022.
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 3 while you are standing outside the vehicle.
Summon moves
Model 3 forward and reverse up to 39
feet (12 meters) in, or out of, a parking space.
To move Model 3 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 105.
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

Model 3 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 3 (such as a vehicle, guard rail, etc.),
the
touchscreen 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 3 away
from an adjacent vehicle, or may apply unnecessary or
inappropriate steering, in these situations:

While navigating, the map tracks your location and
displays the current leg of your trip. You can display the
entire route at any time by swiping down to expand the
turn-by-turn direction list or touching the route overview
icon.
To stop navigating, touch Cancel, located in the bottom
corner of the turn-by-turn direction list.
If Navigate on Autopilot (if available in
your market region) is enabled, you can
turn it on for the navigation route by
touching
Navigate on Autopilot in the
turn-by-turn direction list (when the
feature is active, the icon is blue).
Navigate
on Autopilot is a full self-driving (Beta)
feature that automatically changes lanes
and steers
Model 3 on controlled-access
roads (like highways and freeways), along a
navigation route. For details, see
Navigate
on Autopilot on page 90.
Selecting an Alternate Route
Depending on market region and vehicle configuration,
this feature may not be available on your vehicle. Your
vehicle must be equipped with Premium Connectivity.
After you have entered a destination with one stop, the
map displays up to three alternate routes. This allows you to easily compare total travel time and
traffic
information for each route. If you do not select a
preferred route within the timeout period, the fastest route is automatically selected.
Adding Stops to a Route
After you have entered a destination, you can edit your
route by adding, deleting or reordering stops. Touch the three dots at the bottom of the turn-by-turn direction
list to view options to edit your route.
Add Stop allows you to add a stop by
searching for a location or adding a Home,
Recent or Favorite destination. You can
also add a stop by touching any pin on the map and selecting
Add from the popup.
Edit Stop allows you to set up a complex
trip by adding or deleting stops on your route. Drag and drop stops by touching the equal sign to reorder your trip.
Automatic Navigation
NOTE: Automatic Navigation may not be available in all
market regions and on all vehicle configurations.
Automatic Navigation can predict a destination when
you get in your vehicle. When your phone

WARNING: Do not drive Model 3 if a tire is
damaged, excessively worn, or inflated to an
incorrect pressure. Check tires regularly for wear,
and ensure there are no cuts, bulges or exposure
of the ply/cord structure.
Tire Wear
Adequate tread depth is important for proper tire
performance. Tires with a tread depth less than
4/32”
(3 mm) are more likely to hydroplane in wet conditions
and should not be used. Tires with a tread depth less than
5/32” (4 mm) do not perform well in snow and
slush and should not be used when driving in winter conditions.
Model 3 is originally fitted with tires that have wear
indicators molded into the tread pattern. When the tread has been worn down to
4/32” (3 mm), the
indicators start to appear at the surface of the tread pattern, producing the
effect of a continuous band of
rubber across the width of the tire. For optimal performance and safety, Tesla recommends replacing
tires before the wear indicators are visible.
To improve vehicle handling characteristics and minimize
hydroplaning in wet conditions, put tires with the most tread on the rear of the car.
Tire Rotation, Balance, and Wheel
Alignment
Tesla recommends rotating the tires every 6,250 miles
(10,000 km) or if tread depth difference is 2/32 in (1.5
mm) or greater, whichever comes first.
Tire rotation is an essential part of tire maintenance. It helps maintain an even treadwear pattern which enhances the tire
