「Autopilot 自動輔助導航駕駛」會智慧地建議車道變換以協助您持續行駛於規劃路線,此外還會做出調整,讓您不會受到慢車或卡車的阻擋而妨礙行駛速度。

透過前往「控制」>「Autopilot 自動輔助駕駛」並先啟用「自動輔助轉向」,即可啟用「Autopilot 自動輔助導航駕駛」。對於可使用該功能的每條路線,您可透過按下「導航轉向清單」中的「Autopilot 自動輔助導航駕駛」按鈕來選擇是啟用還是停用該功能。

針對路線啟用該功能後,您可在有出入管制的路段中,透過朝您所在方向快速將巡航控制桿兩次下移至底部來啟動「Autopilot 自動輔助導航駕駛」。啟動時,藍色路線代表即將行駛的路線,可協助您保持車輛行駛在規劃的車道內。灰色路線可能顯示,以根據路線指示接下來的車道變換,或建議您把握機會移向可更快速行駛的車道。啟用時,「Autopilot 自動輔助導航駕駛」也會根據目的地引導您的車輛駛向公路交流道或出口。

調整「Autopilot 自動輔助導航駕駛」進行車道變換的積極程度,以保持您的車輛維持在設定的速度,具體方法是變更「依車速變換車道」設定,此設定位於「控制」>「Autopilot 自動輔助駕駛」>「自訂 Autopilot 自動輔助導航駕駛」中。

注意: 啟用此功能前,您需要進行攝影機校正,並且需透過 WiFi 下載最近版本的導航地圖。

「增強召喚」是一種停車輔助功能,可協助您將車輛引導至選擇的目的地,具體方法是在停車空間中導航,並且繞過需閃避的物體。此功能非常適合將車輛停入狹窄的停車空間、導引車輛順利穿過水坑,或者協助可能攜帶重物的駕駛人走向車輛。當您的車輛在 150 英尺範圍內偵測到手機時,「增強召喚」可與您的 Tesla 行動應用程式搭配使用。

若要使用「增強召喚」,請開啟 Tesla 行動應用程式。點選「召喚」,然後選擇位於車輛圖形中間的「增強召喚」圖示。若要啟動「增強召喚」,請按住「幫我尋找」按鈕,或者在所選目的地放置一個圖釘,然後按住「開始」按鈕。您隨時可以放開按鈕來停止車輛。

「增強召喚」還能夠和 HomeLink 整合,可開啟車庫門以將車輛駛出車庫。與「召喚」功能類似,「增強召喚」僅適用於停車空間或車道,而非公共道路。此功能為測試版,您必須全程監視車輛行駛及周圍環境。

注意: 若要使用「增強召喚」,請下載最新版 Tesla 行動應用程式 (3.8.1 或更高版本),在您的裝置上啟用 GPS 並確保您擁有手機服務。只有在駕駛人和車輛都位於螢幕上顯示的藍色圓圈內時,「增強召喚」才會運作。

注意:關閉車道變換確認之後,只有在已確認駕駛人的手緊握方向盤時才會變換車道。停用車道變換確認並不會減輕駕駛人對於雙手保持握住方向盤、隨時保持警惕和小心監控車輛周遭情況的責任。

Adaptive High Beams

High beams now adapt to reduce glare for other drivers and cyclists.

By detecting other road users, and selectively dimming individual pixels of the headlight, your high beams stay on more often for greater visibility at night.

To turn them on, in your vehicle settings go to Lights > Adaptive High Beams.

Editor's note: This applies to vehicles with matrix headlights seen on some of the redesigned Model S and Model X vehicles, as well as the first-gen Model 3 and Model Y. It currently only applies to vehicles in Europe, but Tesla is working on adding support in the U.S.

Remove Location: If your mirrors are set to be folded at the current location, the button will change to 'Remove Location," letting you remove the automatic folding of the mirrors at this location.
