About Autopilot
Features
Drive to Calibrate Cameras
These safety features are available on all
Model 3 vehicles:
Model 3 must maneuver with a great deal of
precision when Autopilot features are being
used. Therefore, before some features (for
example, Traffic-Aware Cruise Control or
Autosteer) can be used for the first time or
after certain Service repairs, the cameras
must complete a self-calibration process. For
your convenience, a progress indicator is
displayed on the touchscreen.
• Lane Assist (see Lane Assist on page
143).
• Collision Avoidance Assist (see Collision
Avoidance Assist on page 146).
• Speed Assist (see Speed Assist on page
150).
Calibration typically completes after driving
20-25 miles (32-40 km), but the distance
varies depending on road and environmental
conditions. Driving on a straight road with
highly-visible lane lines allows Model 3 to
calibrate quicker. When calibration is
complete, the Autopilot features are available
for use. Contact Tesla only if your Model 3 has
not completed the calibration process after
driving 100 miles (160 km).
• Auto High Beam (see High Beam
Headlights on page 67).
These Autopilot convenience features are
designed to reduce driver workload:
• Traffic-Aware Cruise Control (see Traffic-
Aware Cruise Control on page 109)
• Autosteer (see Autosteer on page 116)
NOTE: If you attempt to use a feature that is
not available until the calibration process is
complete, the feature will not be enabled and
the touchscreen displays a message.
• Auto Lane Change (see Auto Lane
Change on page 118)
• Autopark (see Autopark on page 133)
• Summon (see Summon on page 135)
NOTE: Model 3 must repeat the calibration
process if the cameras are serviced by Tesla,
and in some cases, after a software update.
• Smart Summon (Smart Summon on page
139)
NOTE: If the cameras have moved out of their
calibrated position (for example, due to a
camera or windshield replacement), the
calibration can be cleared by touching
Controls > Service > Camera Calibration >
Clear Calibration. Once the calibration has
been cleared, the self-driving calibration drive
must be performed again.
• Navigate on Autopilot (see Navigate on
Autopilot on page 121)
• Stop Light and Stop Sign Warning (see
Stop Light and Stop Sign Warning on
page 119)
• Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control (see
Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control on
page 124).
Limitations
NOTE: Depending on market region, vehicle
configuration, options purchased, and
software version, your vehicle may not be
equipped with all Autopilot features.
Many factors can impact the performance of
Autopilot components, causing them to be
unable to function as intended. These include
(but are not limited to):
You can enable/disable some of these
features and in some cases, control how they
work. To access settings, touch Controls >
Autopilot.
• Poor visibility (due to heavy rain, snow,
fog, etc.).
• Bright light (due to oncoming headlights,
direct sunlight, etc.).
• Damage or obstructions caused by mud,
ice, snow, etc.
