Changing The Set Speed - Tesla MODEL S Operating Manual

Traffic-Aware Cruise Control
decelerate when 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 S 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 S 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.
90
To increase/decrease speed by 1 mph (1
km/h), move the lever up or down to the first
position and release. To increase/decrease
speed to the closest 5 mph (5 km/h)
increment, move the lever up/down to the
second position and release. For example, if
you are traveling at 57 mph and you move the
lever up to the second position and release,
the speed increases to 60 mph. 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 S to
reach the new cruising speed, assuming
Model S does not detect a vehicle ahead
driving slower than your set speed.
