only partially in the driving lane or when a
vehicle you are following moves out of your driving path and a stationary or
slow-moving vehicle or object is in front of you. Always pay attention to the road
ahead and stay prepared to take
immediate corrective action. Depending
on Traffic-Aware Cruise Control to avoid a
collision can result in serious injury or death. In addition, Traffic-Aware Cruise
Control may react to vehicles or objects
that either do not exist or are not in the
lane of travel, causing Model S to slow down unnecessarily or inappropriately.Warning: Traffic-Aware Cruise Control
may be unable to provide adequate
speed control because of limited braking capability and hills. It can also misjudgethe distance from a vehicle ahead. Driving
downhill can increase driving speed, causing Model S to exceed your set speed

Autosteer
Note: Autosteer is a BETA feature.
Autosteer builds upon Traffic-Aware Cruise
Control (see Traffic-Aware Cruise Control on
page 88), intelligently keeping Model S in its driving lane when cruising at a set speed.
Autosteer also allows you to use the turn
signals to move Model S into an adjacent lane
(see Auto Lane Change on page 97). Using

If Autosteer is unable to detect lane markings,the driving lane is determined based on the
vehicle you are following.
In most cases, Autosteer attempts to center Model S in the driving lane. However, if the
sensors detect the presence of an obstacle (such as a vehicle or guard rail), Autosteer
may steer Model S in a driving path that is offset from the center of the lane.Warning: Autosteer is not designed to,
and will not, steer Model S around objects
partially or completely in the driving lane.
Always watch the road in front of you and
stay prepared to take appropriate action. It is the driver

As the lane change is in progress, Overtake
Acceleration is activated, allowing Model S to accelerate closer to a vehicle in front (see
Overtake Acceleration on page 92). Midway
through the lane change, Auto Lane Change must detect the target lane

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.
