Drive mode TESLA MODEL S 2022 Owner´s Manual

The instrument panel displays a message
indicating that Autosteer is temporarily
unavailable if you attempted to engage
Autosteer when driving at a speed that is not
within the speed required for Autosteer to
operate. Autosteer may also be unavailable if it is not receiving adequate data from the
camera(s) or sensors.
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 an
obstacle (such as a vehicle or guard rail) is detected, 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 immediate action. It is the driver

NOTE: Depending on market region, vehicle configuration, options purchased, and software version, your vehicle may not be equipped with Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control, or the feature may not operate exactly as described.
NOTE: Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control is a BETA feature and works best on roads that are frequently driven by Tesla vehicles. Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control attempts to stop at all traffic lights and may also stop at green lights.
Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control is
designed to recognize and respond to traffic lights and stop signs, slowing Model S to a
stop when using Traffic-Aware cruise control
or Autosteer. This feature uses the vehicle

Stop Signs and Road Markings
When driving with Autosteer or Traffic-aware Cruise Control engaged, and Traffic Light and
Stop Sign Control enabled, Model S is designed to respond as follows when approaching
intersections controlled by stop signs, stop lines, or road markings:
Type of IntersectionVehicle Intended Response
No Traffic Control
Arm of T-junction
Model S assumes the right of way and continues straight
without slowing down or stopping.
End of T-junction
If Model S detects a T-junction based on the map data, Model S slows down and comes to a complete stop at the red stop line
displayed on the instrument panel. When you want to proceed,
you must take over steering and acceleration.
WARNING: Model S may not stop at a T-junction that does not have a stop sign or stop line, or if the T-junction is not included in the map data. Drive attentively and be prepared to stop (when necessary and/or appropriate).

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 S while you are standing
outside the vehicle. Summon uses data from
the ultrasonic sensors to move
Model S forward and reverse up to 39 feet (12 meters) in, or out of, a parking space.
To move Model S 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 115.
CAUTION: Ensure all cameras and sensors 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

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:

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

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:

Using the touchscreens, you can pinpoint exactly where you want to direct the air flowing from
this vent when heating or cooling the cabin. When the face-level vent is on you can adjust the
direction of the air
flow from each vent. To adjust the direction of the air flow, touch the
radiating air waves from the corresponding vent on the touchscreen. The air flows in a single
stream when centered or splits into mirrored air streams when air is directed outward or inward
from the center of the vent.
