Tesla Model Y: Limitations

Autosteer and its associated functions are particularly unlikely to operate as intended when:

• Autosteer is unable to accurately determine lane markings. For example, lane markings are excessively worn, have visible previous markings, have been adjusted due to road construction, are changing quickly (lanes branching off, crossing over, or merging), objects or landscape features are casting strong shadows on the lane markings, or the road surface contains pavement seams or other high- contrast lines.
• Visibility is poor (heavy rain, snow, fog, etc.) or weather conditions are interfering with sensor operation.
• A camera(s) or sensor(s) is obstructed, covered, or damaged.
• Driving on hills.
• Approaching a toll booth.
• Driving on a road that has sharp curves or is excessively rough.
• Bright light (such as direct sunlight) is interfering with the view of the camera(s).
• The sensors are affected by other electrical equipment or devices that generate ultrasonic waves.
• A vehicle is detected in your blind spot when you engage the turn signal.
• Model Y is being driven very close to a vehicle in front of it, which is blocking the view of the camera(s).

WARNING: Many unforeseen circumstances can impair the operation of Autosteer. Always keep this in mind and remember that as a result, Autosteer may not steer Model Y appropriately. Always drive attentively and be prepared to take immediate action.
