Lane Assist
The cameras monitor the markers on the lane
you are driving in and the ultrasonic sensors
and Autopilot cameras monitor the
surrounding areas and the blind spot for the
presence of a vehicle or other objects.
When an object is detected in your blind spot
or close to the side of Model 3 (such as a
vehicle, guard rail, etc.), colored lines radiate
from the image of Model 3 on the
touchscreen. The location of the lines
correspond to the location of the detected
object. The color of the lines (white, yellow,
orange, or red) represents the object's
proximity to Model 3, with white being the
farthest and red being very close and
requiring your immediate attention. These
colored lines only display when driving
between approximately 12 km/h and 140
km/h. When Autosteer is active, these colored
lines also display if driving slower than 12
km/h. However, the colored lines do not
display if Model 3 is at a standstill (for
example, in heavy trac).
Lane Assist warns you when a desired lane
departure is not appropriate. When you
engage the turn signal and a vehicle or object
is detected in the adjacent lane you are
planning to move into, the touchscreen
displays a red lane line to indicate that a
vehicle or object is detected. When the vehicle
or object is no longer detected, the lane line
returns to normal. If you want Lane Assist to
sound a chime when detecting a possible
collision in addition to displaying the red lane,
touch Controls > Autopilot > Blind Spot
Collision Warning Chime.
Warning:
Lane Assist and Blind Spot
Collision Warning Chime cannot detect
every collision. It is the driver's
responsibility to remain alert and check
their blind spots often.
Lane Assist warns you of undesired lane
departures by vibrating the steering wheel
slightly if a front wheel passes over a lane
marking and the associated turn signal is o.
This warning is active only when driving
between approximately 59 and 150 km/h. To
turn this warning on or o, touch Controls >
Autopilot > Lane Departure Warning. Your
chosen setting is retained until you manually
change it.
Lane Assist also provides steering
interventions if Model 3 drifts into (or close to)
an adjacent lane in which an object, such as a
vehicle, is detected. In these situations, Model
3 automatically steers to a safer position in its
driving lane. This steering is applied only when
Model 3 is traveling between 48 and 140 km/h
on major roadways with clearly visible lane
markings. When Lane Assist applies a steering
intervention, the touchscreen briefly displays a
warning message.
Warning: Steering interventions are
minimal and are not designed to move
Model 3 out of its driving lane. Do not rely
on steering interventions to avoid side
collisions.
Warning: Lane Assist features are for
guidance purposes only and are not
intended to replace your own direct visual
checks. Never depend on Lane Assist to
inform you of unintentionally driving
outside of the boundaries of the driving
lane or informing you that an object or
vehicle is in your blind spot or close to
the side of your vehicle. Several external
factors can reduce the performance of
Lane Assist. It is the driver's responsibility
to stay alert, pay attention to the driving
lane and always be aware of other road
users. Failure to do so can result in
serious injury or death.
Warning: Lane Assist is designed to
detect lane markings and may not detect
the edge of a road, especially if the road
has no curb. It is the driver's responsibility
to drive attentively and stay within the
boundaries of the driving lane.
Warning: Before changing lanes, always
visually check the lane you are moving
into by using side mirrors and performing
the appropriate shoulder checks. Several
factors can aect the performance of the
Lane Assist warnings, resulting in lack of,
or false, warnings (see Limitations and
Inaccuracies on page 85).
