WARNING: Do not hold the drive stalk up for
more than one second. Doing so cancels Trac-
Aware Cruise Control and shifts Model 3 into
Neutral.
To re-enable cruising at the current driving speed, move
the drive stalk fully down once then release.
NOTE: When Trac-Aware Cruise Control cancels,
Model 3 does not coast. Instead, regenerative braking
slows down Model 3 in the same way as when you move
your foot
o the accelerator when driving without
Trac-Aware Cruise Control (see Regenerative Braking
on page 62).
WARNING:
Trac-Aware Cruise Control cancels,
or may not be available, in the following situations:
You press the brake pedal.
Your driving speed exceeds the maximum cruising
speed of
90 mph (150 km/h).
You shift Model 3 into a dierent gear.
A door is opened.
The view from the radar sensor or camera(s) is
obstructed. This could be caused by dirt, mud, ice,
snow, fog, etc.
The traction control setting is manually disabled or is
repeatedly engaging to prevent wheels from slipping.
The wheels are spinning while at a standstill.
The Trac-Aware Cruise Control system is failing or
requires service.
When Trac-Aware Cruise Control is unavailable or
cancels, Model 3 no longer drives consistently at a set
speed and no longer maintains a
specified distance from
the vehicle ahead.
WARNING: Trac-Aware Cruise Control can cancel
unexpectedly at any time for unforeseen reasons.
Always watch the road in front of you and stay
prepared to take appropriate action. It is the
driver's responsibility to be in control of Model 3 at
all times.
Summary of Cruise Indicators
Trac-Aware
Cruise Control is available
but is not actively controlling your speed
until you activate it. The number shown in
gray is determined by Speed Assist (see
Controlling Speed Assist on page 116).
Trac-Aware
Cruise Control is operating
and is either maintaining the set speed
(no vehicle in front) or is maintaining a
chosen following distance from a vehicle
ahead (up to the set speed).
Model 3
has fully stopped but is in a
HOLD state. If safe, press the accelerator
pedal to resume cruising at the set
speed.
Limitations
Trac-Aware Cruise Control is particularly unlikely to
operate as intended in the following types of situations:
The road has sharp curves.
Visibility is poor (due to heavy rain, snow, fog, etc.).
Bright light (such as from oncoming headlights or
direct sunlight) is interfering with the view of the
camera(s).
The radar sensor is obstructed (dirty, covered, etc.).
The windshield is obstructing the view of the
camera(s) (fogged over, dirty, covered by a sticker,
etc.).
WARNING:
The list above does not represent an
exhaustive list of situations that may interfere with
proper operation of Trac-Aware Cruise Control.
