Stop Signs and Road Markings

When driving with Autosteer or Trac-aware Cruise Control engaged, and Trac Light and Stop Sign Control

enabled, Model S is designed to respond as follows when approaching intersections controlled by stop signs, stop

lines, or road markings:

Type of Intersection Vehicle Intended Response

No Trac Control

Arm of T-junction

Model S assumes the right of way and continues straight without slowing down or

stopping.

End of T-junction

If the vehicle can detect a T-junction based on the map data, Model S slows down

and comes to a complete stop at the red stop line shown on the instrument panel.

When you want to proceed, you must take over steering and acceleration.

WARNING: Model S may not stop at a T-junction that does not have a stop sign

or stop line, or if the map data does not detect a T-junction. Drive attentively

and be prepared to stop the vehicle when needed.

Stop Sign

Model S slows down and comes to a complete stop at the red stop line shown on the

instrument panel. When you want to proceed through the intersection, you must pull

the Autopilot stalk toward you or brieﬂy press the accelerator pedal.

NOTE: If you conﬁrm that you want to proceed through an intersection controlled by

a stop sign by pulling the Autopilot stalk toward you or pressing the accelerator

pedal before

Model S has stopped, your conﬁrmation is ignored. Model S is not

designed to proceed through a stop sign without stopping.

NOTE: Even when using Autosteer, and even if you have engaged a turn signal, you

must turn the steering wheel yourself (which cancels Autosteer) to complete a turn

at an intersection.
