TESLA MODEL Y 2021 Owner´s Manual

NOTE: Depending on market region, vehicle
configuration, options purchased, and software version,
your vehicle may not be equipped with Traffic Light and
Stop Sign Control, or the feature may not operate
exactly as described.
NOTE: Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control is a BETA
feature and works best on roads that are frequently
driven by Tesla vehicles. Traffic Light and Stop Sign
Control attempts to stop at all traffic lights and may also
stop at green lights.
Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control is designed to
recognize and respond to
traffic lights and stop signs,
slowing
Model Y to a stop when using Traffic-Aware
cruise control or Autosteer. This feature uses the

Stop Signs and Road Markings
When driving with Autosteer or Traffic-aware Cruise Control engaged, and Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control
enabled,
Model Y is designed to respond as follows when approaching intersections controlled by stop signs, stop
lines, or road markings:
Type of IntersectionVehicle Intended Response
No Traffic Control
Arm of T-junction
Model Y assumes the right of way and continues straight without slowing down or
stopping.
End of T-junction
If Model Y detects a T-junction based on the map data, Model Y slows down and
comes to a complete stop at the red stop line displayed on the
touchscreen. When
you want to proceed, you must take over steering and acceleration.
WARNING: Model Y may not stop at a T-junction that does not have a stop
sign or stop line, or if the T-junction is not included in the map data. Drive
attentively and be prepared to stop (when necessary and/or appropriate).
Stop Sign
Model Y slows down and comes to a complete stop at the red stop line displayed on
the
touchscreen. When you want to proceed through the intersection, you must
press down on the drive stalk or briefly press the accelerator pedal.
NOTE: If you confirm that you want to proceed through an intersection controlled by
a stop sign by
pressing down on the drive stalk or briefly pressing the accelerator
pedal before
Model Y has stopped, your confirmation is ignored. Model Y 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.

WARNING: Model Y also slows down and stops at a roundabout. You must take over steering (which cancels
Autosteer) and press down on the drive stalk or briefly press the accelerator pedal to confirm that you want to
continue through the roundabout.
WARNING: At crosswalks, Model Y may slow down and may stop, depending on whether the crosswalk is
controlled by a traffic light and whether the cameras detect pedestrians, bicyclists, etc. in the crosswalk. Pay
particular attention at crosswalks and be prepared to take over at any time. Failure to do so can result in injury
or death.
Limitations
Depending on many different circumstances and environmental conditions, Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control may
or may not stop at:

NOTE: Depending on market region, vehicle
configuration, options purchased, and software version,
your vehicle may not be equipped with Autopark.
Autopark uses data from the cameras and ultrasonic
sensors and GPS to simplify parking on public roads by
maneuvering
Model Y into parallel and perpendicular
parking spaces. See
To Use Autopark on page 106.
CAUTION: Ensure all cameras and sensors are
clean. Dirty cameras and sensors, as well as
environmental conditions such as rain and faded
lane markings, can affect Autopilot performance.
WARNING: Autopark

To Cancel Parking
Autopark cancels the parking sequence when you
manually move the
steering wheel, change gears, or
touch
Cancel on the touchscreen. Autopark also cancels
parking when:

NOTE: Depending on market region, vehicle
configuration, options purchased, and software version,
your vehicle may not be equipped with Summon, or the
feature may not operate exactly as described.
Summon allows you to automatically park and retrieve
Model Y while you are standing outside the vehicle.
Summon uses data from the ultrasonic sensors to move
Model Y forward and reverse up to 39 feet (12 meters)
in, or out of, a parking space.
To move Model Y a longer distance while steering
around objects, you can use Smart Summon
(if
equipped) and your mobile phone. Smart Summon
allows your vehicle to
find you (or you can send your
vehicle to a chosen location). See
Smart Summon on
page 111.
CAUTION: Ensure all cameras and sensors are
clean. Dirty cameras and sensors, as well as
environmental conditions such as rain and faded
lane markings, can affect Autopilot performance.
WARNING: Summon is designed and intended for
use only on parking lots and driveways on private
property where the surrounding area is familiar
and predictable.
WARNING: Summon is a BETA feature. You must
continually monitor the vehicle and its
surroundings and stay prepared to take immediate
action at any time. It is the driver
