The following collision avoidance features are designed
to increase the safety of you and your passengers:
• Forward Collision Warning - provides visual, audible,
and haptic feedback warnings in situations when
Model X detects that there is a high risk of a frontal
collision (see
Forward Collision Warning on page 131).
•
Automatic Emergency Braking - automatically
applies braking to reduce the impact of a frontal
collision (see
Automatic Emergency Braking on page
132).
• Obstacle-Aware Acceleration - reduces acceleration
if
Model X detects an object in its immediate driving
path (see Obstacle-Aware Acceleration on page 132).
CAUTION:
Ensure all cameras and sensors (if
equipped) are clean. Dirty cameras and sensors, as
well as environmental conditions such as rain and
faded lane markings, can aect performance.
WARNING:
Forward Collision Warning is for
guidance purposes only and is not a substitute for
attentive driving and sound judgment. Keep your
eyes on the road when driving and never depend
on Forward Collision Warning to warn you of a
potential collision. Several factors can reduce or
impair performance, causing either unnecessary,
invalid, inaccurate, or missed warnings. Depending
on Forward Collision Warning to warn you of a
potential collision can result in serious injury or
death.
WARNING:
Automatic Emergency Braking is not
designed to prevent all collisions. In certain
situations, it can minimize the impact of a frontal
collision by attempting to reduce your driving
speed. Depending on Automatic Emergency
Braking to avoid a collision can result in serious
injury or death.
WARNING:
Obstacle-Aware Acceleration is not
designed to prevent a collision. In certain
situations, it can minimize the impact of a collision.
Depending on Obstacle-Aware Acceleration to
avoid a collision can result in serious injury or
death.
Forward Collision Warning
Model X monitors the area in front of it for the presence
of an object such as a vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle, or
pedestrian. If a collision is considered likely unless you
take immediate corrective action, Forward Collision
Warning is designed to sound a chime and highlight the
vehicle in front of you in red on the
instrument panel. If
this happens,
TAKE IMMEDIATE CORRECTIVE ACTION!
Visual, audible, and haptic feedback warnings cancel
automatically when the risk of a collision has been
reduced (for example, you have decelerated or stopped
Model X, or the object in front of your vehicle has moved
out of your driving path).
If immediate action is not taken when Model X issues a
Forward Collision Warning, Automatic Emergency
Braking (if enabled) may automatically apply the brakes
if a collision is considered imminent (see
Automatic
Emergency Braking on page 132).
By default, Forward Collision Warning is turned on. To
turn it o or adjust its sensitivity, touch Controls >
Autopilot > Forward Collision Warning. Instead of the
default warning level of Medium, you can turn the
warning
O, or you can choose to be warned Late or
Early.
NOTE: Forward Collision Warning automatically resets to
Medium at the beginning of each drive.
WARNING:
The camera(s) and sensors (if
equipped) associated with Forward Collision
Warning are designed to monitor an approximate
area of up to 525 feet (160 meters) in your driving
path. The area being monitored by Forward
Collision Warning can be adversely aected by
road and weather conditions. Use appropriate
caution when driving.
WARNING:
Forward Collision Warning is designed
only to provide visual and audible alerts. It does
not attempt to apply the brakes or decelerate
Model X. When seeing and/or hearing a warning, it
is the driver's responsibility to take immediate
corrective action.
WARNING:
Forward Collision Warning may
provide a warning in situations where the
likelihood of collision may not exist. Stay alert and
always pay attention to the area in front of
Model X so you can anticipate whether any action
is required.
