Popup Messages and Vehicle Alerts
Popup messages appear at the bottom of the touchscreen.

If applicable, touch options from these popup
messages (for example, accept/decline a phone call, choose an option from the headlight menu, etc.). To dismiss a
popup message, swipe it downward.
If an alert appears on your vehicle

Instrument Panel - Driving
When Model X is driving (or ready to drive), the instrument panel shows your current driving status and a real-time
visualization of the road as detected by the Autopilot components (see
About Autopilot on page 98). The
visualization automatically zooms in and out based on the detected road type.
NOTE: Touch Controls > Autopilot > Full Self-Driving Visualization Preview (if equipped) to display more details
about the roadway and its surroundings, such as road markings, stop lights, objects (such as trash cans and poles),
etc.

The instrument panel displays your location on a map, a wiper menu, Auto Shift out of Park instructions, etc. When a navigation route is active, the upcoming portion of the route displays.

NOTE: Depending on market region, vehicle
configuration, options purchased, and software version,
your vehicle may not be equipped with Navigate on
Autopilot, or the feature may not operate exactly as
described.
NOTE: Navigate on Autopilot is a BETA feature.
When using Autosteer on a controlled-access highway (a main highway on which road users enter and exit
using on-ramps and
off-ramps). Navigate on Autopilot
guides
Model X to off-ramps and interchanges based on
your navigation route. Along the highway portion of a navigation route, Navigate on Autopilot also changes
lanes to prepare for exits (route-based lane changes) and to minimize the driving time to your destination (speed-based lane changes).
WARNING: Navigate on Autopilot does not make
driving autonomous. You must pay attention to the
road, keep your hands on the steering yoke (or
steering wheel) at all times, and remain aware of
your navigation route.
WARNING: As is the case with normal driving, be
extra careful around blind corners, interchanges,
and on-ramps and off-ramps - 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:
Page 113 of 296

Navigate on Autopilot activates and deactivates as appropriate, based on the type of road you are driving on. For example, if Autosteer is active and Navigate on Autopilot is enabled, Navigate on Autopilot
automatically becomes active when you reach a
controlled-access highway on your navigation route.
Whenever Navigate on Autopilot is active, the
instrument panel displays the driving lane as a single
blue line in front of
Model X:
When Navigate on Autopilot is active and you approach an
off-ramp or interchange along your navigation route,
the appropriate turn signal engages and Autosteer maneuvers
Model X 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 highway (for example, you take an exit or you enter a section of the navigation route that is no longer supported), Navigate on Autopilot reverts back to Autosteer
Page 114 of 296

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 X,
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 instrument panel 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.

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

feature is active, the icon is blue).
Navigate
on Autopilot is a full self-driving (Beta)
feature that automatically changes lanes
and steers
Model X on controlled-access
roads (like highways and freeways), along a
navigation route. For details, see
Navigate
on Autopilot on page 110.
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

Or touch
Clear Home or Clear Work to remove
associated addresses entirely.
NOTE: Based on your usage patterns, Model X may
prompt you to save a location as Home or Work.
NOTE: Once a Home or Work location is saved, Model X
may prompt you to navigate to your Work location in
the mornings and to your Home location in the evenings
and provide an estimated driving time based on current
traffic conditions. See Automatic Navigation on page
166.
For security reasons, if you sell Model X, it is
recommended that you delete your Home and Work
locations. You can delete these individually or you can perform a factory reset to erase all personal data (touch
Controls > Service > Factory Reset).
