Acceleration cancels when one of the
conditions happen:
• You reach your set cruising speed.
• Changing lanes takes too long.
• Model S gets too close to the vehicle
ahead.
OR
• You disengage the turn signal.
NOTE: Overtake Acceleration occurs when
you either fully engage the turn signal, or you
hold the turn signal in the momentary
position (partially engaged). When you
release or disengage the turn signal, Model S
stops accelerating (in the same way as when
you release the accelerator pedal) and
resumes the set speed.
WARNING: Overtake Acceleration can
cancel for many unforeseen reasons in
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 S
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, briefly push the cruise control lever
away from you or press the brake pedal. The
speedometer icon on the instrument panel
turns gray to indicate that Traffic-Aware
Cruise Control is no longer active.
Autopilot
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control
To resume cruising at the previously set
speed, briefly pull the cruise control lever
toward you.
To resume cruising at the current driving
speed, move the cruise control lever up or
down, then release.
NOTE: When Traffic-Aware Cruise Control
cancels, Model S does not coast. Instead,
regenerative braking slows down Model S in
the same way as when you move your foot off
the accelerator when driving without Traffic-
Aware Cruise Control (see
Braking on page
WARNING: Traffic-Aware Cruise
Control cancels, or may not be
available, in the following situations:
• You press the brake pedal.
• Your driving speed exceeds the maximum
cruising speed of 150 km/h.
