Lane Departure Warning
How Lane Departure Warning
Works
Controlling Lane Departure
Warning
If Model S is equipped with Autopilot, 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.
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: Lane Departure Warning is for
guidance purposes only. 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. 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.
Warning: Lane Departure Warning is
designed to activate when it detects lane
markings. It is not designed to detect the
edge of a road. It is the driver's
responsibility to drive attentively and stay
within the boundaries of the driving lane.

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.
