Lane Assist
NOTE: Lane Departure Avoidance does not
warn you of lane departures, or provide
steering interventions, if the associated turn
signal is on, which indicates an intentional
lane change.
WARNING: Emergency Lane
Departure Avoidance is not a
substitute for attentive driving and
sound judgment. Keep your eyes on
the road when driving and never
depend on Emergency Lane
Departure Avoidance to prevent a
collision. Several factors can reduce or
impair performance. Depending on
Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance
to prevent a potential collision can
result in serious injury or death.
WARNING: Lane Departure Avoidance
is intended to help keep you safe, but
it does not work in every situation and
does not replace the need to remain
attentive and in control.
WARNING: Keep your hands on the
steering wheel and drive attentively at
all times.
Blind Spot Collision Warning
Chime
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.
If you want a chime to sound when a vehicle
is in your blind spot and a possible collision is
detected, touch Controls > Autopilot > Blind
Spot Collision Warning Chime.
Emergency Lane Departure
Avoidance
WARNING: Blind Spot Collision
Warning Chime cannot detect every
collision. It is the driver's responsibility
to remain alert and check their blind
spots.
Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance
automatically applies steering to avoid a
potential collision in situations where:
Adjacent Lane Speed
• Model 3 is departing a lane and may
collide with a vehicle traveling in the same
direction in the adjacent lane (regardless
of the status of the turn signal).
Due to market region and vehicle
configuration, this feature may not be
available on your vehicle.
• Model 3 is departing a lane into an
oncoming lane, the turn signal is off, and
an oncoming vehicle is detected.
When your vehicle is moving significantly
faster than vehicles in adjacent lanes, Model 3
automatically reduces your driving speed.
This is especially helpful in heavy traffic
situations or when vehicles are constantly
merging into different lanes. When Model 3
detects that other vehicles are driving
significantly slower, the touchscreen
highlights the adjacent lanes with arrows and
detected vehicles in gray, slowing your vehicle
down as appropriate. You can temporarily
override this feature by pressing the
accelerator pedal. Never rely on Autopilot to
determine a safe driving speed; you are
responsible for the vehicle and obeying traffic
laws.
• Model 3 is departing the roadway and the
turn signal is off (for example, very close
to the edge of the road and a collision
may occur).
Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance is
automatically enabled at the beginning of
every drive. You can turn it off for the current
drive only by touching Controls > Autopilot >
Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance.
When Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance
applies steering, you will hear a chime and the
touchscreen highlights the lane line in red and
displays a warning.
Limitations and Inaccuracies
Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance
operates when Model 3 is traveling between
40 and 90 mph (64 and 145 km/h) on a
roadway with clearly visible lane markings,
curbs, etc.
Lane Assist features cannot always detect
lane markings and you may experience
unnecessary or invalid warnings in these
situations:
