Collision Avoidance Assist Obstacle-Aware Acceleration Limitations and Inaccuracies Obstacle-Aware Acceleration is designed to Collision Avoidance features cannot always reduce the impact of a collision by reducing detect all objects, vehicles, bikes, or motor torque and in some cases applying the pedestrians, and you may experience brakes, if Model X detects an object in its unnecessary, inaccurate, invalid, or missed driving path. For example, Model X, while warnings for many reasons, particularly if: parked in front of a closed garage door with • The road has sharp curves. the Drive gear engaged, detects that you have • Visibility is poor (due to heavy rain, snow, pressed hard on the accelerator pedal. fog, etc.). Although Model X still accelerates and hits the garage door, the reduced torque may result in • Bright light (such as from oncoming less damage. headlights or direct sunlight) is interfering Obstacle-Aware Acceleration is designed to with the view of the camera(s). operate only when all of these conditions are • The radar sensor is obstructed (dirty, simultaneously met: covered, etc.). • The windshield is obstructing the view of • A driving gear is engaged (Drive or the camera(s) (fogged over, dirty, covered Reverse). by a sticker, etc.). • Model X is stopped or traveling less than Warning: The limitations previously 10 mph (16 km/h). described do not represent an exhaustive • Model X detects an object in its list of situations that may interfere with immediate driving path. proper operation of Collision Avoidance To disable Obstacle-Aware Acceleration, touch Assist features.

Several factors, including environmental conditions, distance from an obstacle, and a driver's actions, can limit, delay, or inhibit Obstacle-Aware Acceleration. Warning: Obstacle-Aware Acceleration may not limit torque when performing a sharp turn, such as into a parking space. Warning: Do not rely on Obstacle-Aware Acceleration to control acceleration or to avoid, or limit, the severity of a collision, and do not attempt to test Obstacle- Aware Acceleration. Doing so can result in serious property damage, injury, or death. Warning: Several factors can affect the performance of Obstacle-Aware Acceleration, causing an inappropriate or untimely reduction in motor torque and/or undesired braking. It is the driver's responsibility to drive safely and remain in control of Model X at all times. 126 Model X Owner's Manual
