Traffic-Aware
Cruise Control
Note: Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is a BETA
feature.
Note: If your vehicle is not equipped with the
optional Enhanced Autopilot or Full Self-
Driving Capability package, refer to the owner

When the cruising speed is
set, the speedometer icon on
the touchscreen turns blue
and displays the set cruising
speed.
Note: Moving the gear level fully down twice in
quick succession engages Autosteer
(assuming it has been enabled as described in Autosteer on page 79) and the set speed
changes to either your current driving speed,
or the current set speed (displayed in the icon), whichever is greater.
Note: The minimum speed you can set is
18 mph (30 km/h) and the maximum is 90
mph (150 km/h). It is the driver

Warning: Traffic-Aware Cruise Control
may be unable to provide adequate
speed control because of limited braking capability and hills. It can also misjudgethe distance from a vehicle ahead. Driving
downhill can increase driving speed, causing Model 3 to exceed your set speed
(and potentially the road

Note: The onboard Global Positioning System
(GPS) determines if you are driving in a region
with right or left hand traffic. In situations
where GPS data is unavailable (for example, if
there is inadequate signal), engaging the turn
signal near an exit does not cause Traffic-
Aware Cruise Control to slow down Model 3.
Adjust the Following Distance To adjust the following distance you want tomaintain between Model 3 and a vehicle
traveling ahead of you, press the steering
wheel

addition to those listed above (for
example, lack of GPS data). Stay alert and
never depend on Overtake Acceleration
to increase your driving speed.Warning: Overtake Acceleration increases
your driving speed whenever the
appropriate turn signal is engaged, and
accelerates Model 3 closer to the vehicle
ahead. Although Traffic-Aware Cruise
Control continues to maintain distance
from the vehicle ahead, it is important to be aware that your selected following
distance is reduced when Overtake
Acceleration is active, particularly in cases
where it may not be your intention to overtake the vehicle you are following.
Canceling and Resuming
To manually cancel Traffic-Aware Cruise
Control, move the gear lever up and release or press the brake pedal. The speedometer icon
on the touchscreen turns gray to indicate that Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is no longer
active.
Warning: Do not hold the gear lever up
for more than one second. Doing so
cancels Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and
shifts Model 3 into Neutral.
To re-enable cruising at the current driving
speed, move the gear lever fully down once then release.
Note: When Traffic-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 off
the accelerator when driving without Traffic-
Aware Cruise Control (see Regenerative
Braking on page 60).
Warning: Traffic-Aware Cruise Control
cancels, or may not be available, in the
following situations:

Summary of Cruise IndicatorsTraffic-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 92).Traffic-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
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is particularly
unlikely to operate as intended in the
following types of situations:

Autosteer
Note: Autosteer is a BETA feature.
If you have purchased the optional Enhanced Autopilot or Full Self-Driving Capabilitypackages, you can use Autosteer to manage
steering and speed under certain
circumstances. Autosteer builds upon Traffic-
Aware Cruise Control (see Traffic-Aware
Cruise Control on page 73), intelligently
keeping Model 3 in its driving lane when
cruising at a set speed. Autosteer also allows
you to use the turn signals to move Model 3 into an adjacent lane (see Auto Lane Change
on page 81). Using the vehicle
