TESLA MODEL Y 2021 Owner´s Manual

WARNING: Obstacle-Aware Acceleration is
designed to reduce the severity of an impact. It is
not designed to avoid a collision.
WARNING: Obstacle-Aware Acceleration may not
limit torque in all situations. Several factors,
including environmental conditions, distance from
an obstacle, and a driver

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.
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
traffic and road conditions.
