Traffic-Aware Cruise Control
a vehicle or object is only partially in the
driving lane or when a vehicle you are
following moves out of your driving path
and a stationary or slow-moving 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 misjudge
the distance from a vehicle ahead. Driving
downhill can increase driving speed,
causing Model X to exceed your set
speed (and potentially the road's speed
limit). Never depend on Traffic-Aware
Cruise Control to slow down the vehicle
enough to prevent a collision. Always
keep your eyes on the road when driving
and be prepared to take corrective action
as needed. Depending on Traffic-Aware
Cruise Control to slow the vehicle down
enough to prevent a collision can result in
serious injury or death.
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.
106
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 position
and 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.
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.
HOLD State
When following a vehicle, Traffic-Aware Cruise
Control remains active at low speeds, even
when Model X comes to a full stop. When the
vehicle is moving again, Traffic-Aware Cruise
Control resumes operating at the set speed.
However, under the following circumstances,
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control goes into a HOLD
state, in which case, you need to briefly press
the accelerator pedal or pull the cruise control
lever toward you (see
Resuming on page 108) to resume cruising.
When the HOLD status is active, the
instrument panel displays the HOLD icon and
a message that indicates that you need to
resume cruise control. The following
circumstances can cause Traffic-Aware Cruise
Control to go into the HOLD state:
