Stop Light and Stop Sign Warning
NOTE: Depending on market region, vehicle
configuration, options purchased, and software version,
your vehicle may not be equipped with Stop Light and
Stop Sign Warning.
While Autosteer is in use, Model Y displays a warning
on the
touchscreen and sounds a chime if it detects
that you are likely to run through a red stop light or stop sign. If this happens,
TAKE IMMEDIATE
CORRECTIVE ACTION!
The visual and audible warnings cancel after a few seconds, or when you press the brake pedal, whichever
comes
first.
Stop Light and Stop Sign Warning provides warnings
only. It makes no attempt to slow down or stop

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 Y,
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 touchscreen 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.

The Autopilot cameras and ultrasonic sensors monitor
the markers on the lane you are driving in as well as the areas surrounding
Model Y for the presence of vehicles
or other objects.
When an object is detected in your blind spot or near
the side of
Model Y (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

WARNING: Forward Collision Warning may
provide a warning in situations where the
likelihood of collision may not exist. Stay alert and
always pay attention to the area in front of Model
Y so you can anticipate whether any action is
required.
WARNING: Forward Collision Warning operates
only when driving between approximately 7 mph
(10 km/h) and 90 mph (150 km/h).
WARNING: Forward Collision Warning does not
provide a warning when the driver is already
applying the brake.
Automatic Emergency Braking
The forward looking camera(s) and the radar sensor are designed to determine the distance from a detected object traveling in front of
Model Y. When a frontal
collision is considered unavoidable, Automatic Emergency Braking is designed to apply the brakes to
reduce the severity of the impact.
When Automatic Emergency Braking applies the brakes,
the
touchscreen displays a visual warning and sounds a
chime. You may also notice abrupt downward movement of the brake pedal. The brake lights turn on to alert other road users that you are slowing down.
If driving 35 mph (56 km/h) or faster, the brakes are
released after Automatic Emergency Braking has reduced your driving speed by
30 mph (50 km/h). For
example, if Automatic Emergency Braking applies braking when driving
56 mph (90 km/h), it releases the
brakes when your speed has been reduced to
26 mph
(40 km/h).
Automatic Emergency Braking operates only when driving between approximately
7 mph (10 km/h) and 90
mph (150 km/h).
Automatic Emergency Braking does not apply the
brakes, or stops applying the brakes, when:

How Speed Assist Works
Model Y displays a speed limit on the touchscreen and
you can choose if and how you are warned when you exceed the speed limit.
You can touch this speed limit
sign to automatically change the set speed to the
detected speed limit (including any offsets that you
have set). 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 Y is unable to determine a
speed limit, or if Speed Assist is uncertain that an acquired speed limit is accurate, the
touchscreen may
not display a speed limit sign and warnings do not take
effect.
If you set the speed limit warning to Display (see
Controlling Speed Assist on page 117) and exceed the
determined speed limit, the speed limit sign on the
touchscreen increases in size.
If you set the speed limit warning to Chime (see
Controlling Speed Assist on page 117) and exceed the
determined speed limit, the speed limit sign on the
touchscreen increases in size and Model Y also sounds
a warning chime.
NOTE: Speed limit warnings go away after ten seconds,
or when
Model Y 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
tra
