TESLA MODEL S 2021 Owner´s Manual

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

NOTE: Lane Departure Avoidance does not
warn you of lane departures, or provide steering interventions, if the associated turn signal is on, which indicates an intentional
lane change.WARNING: Lane Departure Avoidance is intended to help keep you safe, but it does not work in every situation and does not replace the need to remain attentive and in control.
WARNING: Keep your hands on the steering yoke and drive attentively at all times.
WARNING: Steering interventions are minimal and are not designed to move Model S out of its driving lane. Do not rely on steering interventions to avoid side collisions.
Emergency Lane Departure
Avoidance
Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance automatically applies steering to avoid a potential collision in situations where:

Limitations and Inaccuracies
Lane Assist features cannot always detect
lane markings and you may experience unnecessary or invalid warnings in these
situations:

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

WARNING: The camera(s) and sensors associated with Forward Collision Warning are designed to monitor an approximate area of up to 525 feet (160 meters) in your driving path. The area being monitored by Forward Collision Warning can be adversely affected by road and weather conditions. Use appropriate caution when driving.
WARNING: Forward Collision Warning is designed only to provide visual and audible alerts. It does not attempt to apply the brakes or decelerate Model S. When seeing and/or hearing a warning, it is the driver

WARNING: Automatic Emergency Braking is not a substitute for maintaining a safe traveling distance between you and the vehicle in front of you.
WARNING: The brake pedal moves downward abruptly during automatic braking events. Always ensure that the brake pedal can move freely. Do not place material under or on top of the 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:

WARNING: The list above does not represent an exhaustive list of situations that may interfere with proper operation of Speed Assist. Speed Assist may fail to provide warnings for many other reasons.
