Lane Departure Warning
How Lane Departure Warning
Works
Controlling Lane Departure
Warning
If Model S is equipped with Driver Assistance
features, a camera mounted on the windshield
behind the interior rear view mirror monitors
the markers on the lane you are driving in. If a
front wheel passes over a lane marking and
the associated turn signal is off, you feel three
slight vibrations in the steering wheel.
To turn Lane Assist on or off, touch Controls >
Settings > Driver Assistance > Lane Departure
Warning.
Limitations and Inaccuracies
Lane Departure Warning can not always
clearly detect lane markings and you may
experience unnecessary or invalid warnings in
these situations:
Lane Departure Warning operates only when
Model S is traveling over approximately
30
mph (50 km/h).

Visibility is poor and lane markings are not
clearly visible (due to heavy rain, snow,
fog, etc.).
Bright light (oncoming headlights or
direct sunlight) is interfering with the
camera's view.
Model S is being driven very close to a
vehicle in front of it which is blocking the
camera's view.
The windshield area in the camera's field
of view is obstructed (fogged over, dirty,
covered by a sticker, etc.).
Lane markings are excessively worn or
have been adjusted due to road
construction.
Lane markings are changing quickly (for
example, lanes branching off, crossing
over, or merging).
The road is narrow or winding.
Objects or landscape features are casting
strong shadows on lane markers.
Warning: Never depend on Lane
Departure Warning to inform you of
unintentionally driving outside of the
boundaries of the driving lane. Several
external factors can reduce the
performance of Lane Departure Warning,
causing either no readings or false
readings. Therefore, depending on this
system to stay within the boundaries of
the driving lane can result in serious injury
or death. Lane Departure Warning is for
guidance purposes only. Always keep
your eyes on the road when driving. It is
the driver's responsibility to stay alert,
drive safely, ensure the vehicle stays in
the traveling lane, and be in control of the
vehicle at all times.
Caution: If your Model S is equipped with
Lane Departure Warning, you must take
your vehicle to Tesla Service if a
windshield replacement is needed. Failure
to do so can cause Lane Departure
Warning to malfunction.
