brake/decelerate for stationary vehicles
or objects, especially in situations when
you are driving over 80 km/h and in situations where a vehicle you are
following moves out of your driving path and a stationary vehicle or object is in
front of you. Always pay attention to the
road ahead and stay prepared to take
immediate corrective action. Depending
on Traffic-Aware Cruise Control to avoid a
collision can result in serious injury or death. In addition, Traffic-Aware Cruise
Control may react to vehicles or objects
that either do not exist or are not in the
lane of travel, causing Model X to slow
down unnecessarily or inappropriately.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 X to exceed your set
speed (and potentially the road

Note: Your set speed will use your current
driving speed if you move the cruise control lever up or down.
Note: If Speed Assist is unable to determine a
speed limit, your set speed does not change
when you pull the cruise control lever toward
you.Warning: Do not rely on Speed Assist or
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control to determine
an accurate or appropriate cruising
speed. Always cruise at a safe speed
based on road conditions and applicable
speed limits.
Changing the Set Speed
To change the set speed while using Traffic-
Aware Cruise Control, move the cruise control
lever up (increase) or down (decrease) until
your desired set speed is displayed.
To increase/decrease speed by 1 km/h, move
the lever up or down to the first position and
release. To increase/decrease speed to the closest 5 km/h increment, move the lever up/
down to the second position and release. For
example, if you are traveling at 83 km/h and you move the lever up to the second positionand release, the speed increases to 85 km/h.
You can also increase/decrease speed by
holding the lever in the full up/down position
and releasing when the desired speed displays
below the cruise control icon.
To cruise at the speed limit that is currently
being determined by Speed Assist (including any offsets that you have set), pull the cruise
control lever toward you. See Speed Assist on
page 110.
Note: It may take a few seconds for Model X
to reach the new cruising speed, assuming
Model X does not detect a vehicle ahead
driving slower than your set speed.
Overtake Acceleration
When following a vehicle with Traffic-Aware
Cruise Control active, brie

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 X 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, brie

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 110).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 X 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 89), intelligently
keeping Model X in its driving lane when cruising at a set speed. Using the vehicle

If Autosteer is unable to detect lane markings,the driving lane is determined based on the
vehicle you are following.
In most cases, Autosteer attempts to center Model X in the driving lane. However, if the
sensors detect the presence of an obstacle (such as a vehicle or guard rail), Autosteer
may steer Model X in a driving path that is
offset from the center of the lane.Warning: Autosteer is not designed to,
and will not, steer Model X around objects
partially or completely in the driving lane.
Always watch the road in front of you and
stay prepared to take appropriate action. It is the driver

Auto Lane Change
Warning: Auto Lane Change is designed
to be used only when driving on
restricted-access highways (i.e. with on-
ramps and off-ramps).
If you have purchased the optional Enhanced
Autopilot or Full Self-Driving Capabilitypackages, you can use Auto Lane Change to
move Model X into an adjacent lane. When
both Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and
Autosteer are active, Auto Lane Change intelligently assists you in steering Model X
into an adjacent driving lane. Using the
forward looking camera(s), the radar sensor,
and ultrasonic sensors, Model X detects lane
markings and the presence of other vehicles.
Auto Lane Change is designed for use on
restricted-access highways with visible lane
markings and under relatively predictable
circumstances in which minimal steering and
driver intervention is needed.
Warning: It is the driver

Note: Auto Lane Change assists in moving
Model X one lane at a time. Moving into an
additional lane requires you to engage the
turn signal a second time after the first lane
change is complete.Warning: If Auto Lane Change aborts
during a lane change (for example, Auto
Lane Change cannot detect the outside
of the target lane midway through the
lane change), Model X returns to its
original driving lane.
When Auto Lane Change is active, it is
important to monitor its performance by
watching the driving path in front of you and
the surrounding area. Stay prepared to take
over steering at any time. As you are crossing
over into the adjacent lane, the instrument
panel displays the lane marking as a dashed
blue line. Once in your new lane, lane markings
are displayed as solid blue lines again.
In situations where Auto Lane Change is
unable to operate at optimal performance, or
cannot operate due to inadequate data, the
instrument panel displays a series of warnings.
Therefore, when using Auto Lane Change,
always pay attention to the instrument panel
and be prepared to manually steer Model X.
Warning: When Auto Lane Change is
actively assisting in steering Model X, the steering wheel moves accordingly.
Although you must have your hands on
the steering wheel, any significant
restriction of or force on the steering wheel
