Tesla Model S: Enabling and Customizing Navigate
on Autopilot
To enable Navigate on Autopilot, touch Controls >
Autopilot > Navigate on Autopilot (Beta). Then, to
customize how you want Navigate on Autopilot to
operate, touch Customize Navigate on Autopilot:
- Enable At Start Of Every Trip: Choose whether or not
you want to automatically enable Navigate on
Autopilot for every navigation route. When enabled,
the Navigate on Autopilot button on the turn-by-turn
direction list is already enabled at the start of every
trip.
- Speed Based Lane Changes: Navigate on Autopilot is
designed to perform both route-based and speed-
based lane changes. Route-based lane changes are
designed to keep you on your navigation route (for
example, moving you into an adjacent lane to prepare
for an upcoming off -ramp) whereas speed-based
lane changes are designed to maintain a driving
speed (not to exceed your cruising speed) that allows
you to minimize the time it takes to reach your
destination (for example, moving into an adjacent
lane to pass a vehicle in front of you). Speed-based
lanes changes are optional. You can use this setting
to disable speed-based lane changes or to specify
how aggressively you want Navigate on Autopilot to change lanes to achieve
the set cruising speed. The
Mild setting is more conservative about lane changes
and may result in a slightly longer driving time
whereas Mad Max is designed to allow you to reach
your destination in the shortest driving time possible,
but changes lanes only when safe to do so.
- Exit Passing Lane: Choose whether you want
Navigate on Autopilot to maneuver out of a passing
lane when navigating to a destination.
NOTE: In addition to route-based and speed-based
lane changes, Navigate on Autopilot requests a lane
change out of a passing lane as a reminder to stay in
a slower lane when you are not passing other
vehicles. Choose NO to disable this and keep Model S
in a passing lane except when needed to stay on the
navigation route.
- Require Lane Change Confirmation (if equipped): By
default, Navigate on Autopilot requires your
confirmation before proceeding with a lane change
by pressing the appropriate turn signal. However, if
you want Navigate on Autopilot to change lanes
without requiring this confirmation, turn this setting
off. When you turn the setting off, you can specify if
or how you want to be notified of lane changes (Off,
Chime, Vibrate, or Both).
WARNING: If you turn off Require Lane Change
Confirmation, Navigate on Autopilot notifies
you of upcoming lane changes and off -ramps,
but it remains your responsibility to monitor the
environment and maintain control of Model S at
all times. Lane changes can occur quickly and
suddenly. Always keep your hands on the wheel
and your eyes on the driving path in front of
you.
NOTE: The touchscreen displays route-based lane
changes at the top of the map's turn-by-turn direction
list to notify you that an upcoming lane change is
needed to stay on the navigation route.

Once enabled, the Navigate on Autopilot button appears
on the map's turn-by-turn direction list whenever a
navigation route is active and the route includes at least
one controlled-access highway.
