Traffic-Aware Cruise Control - Tesla MODEL Y 2022 Owner's Manual

Traffic-Aware Cruise Control

NOTE: Depending on market region, vehicle
configuration, options purchased, and
software version, your vehicle may not be
equipped with Traffic-Aware Cruise Control,
or the feature may not operate exactly as
described. If your vehicle is not equipped,
refer to the owner's manual on your vehicle's
touchscreen for instructions on how to use
Cruise Control.
NOTE: Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is a BETA
feature.
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control determines when
there is a vehicle in front of you in the same
lane. If the area in front of Model Y is clear,
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control maintains a set
driving speed. When a vehicle is detected,
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is designed to
slow down Model Y as needed to maintain a
selected time-based distance from the vehicle
in front, up to the set speed. Traffic-Aware
Cruise Control does not eliminate the need to
watch the road in front of you and to
manually apply the brakes when needed.
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is primarily
intended for driving on dry, straight roads,
such as highways.
CAUTION: Ensure all cameras and
sensors are clean before each drive.
Dirty cameras and sensors, as well as
environmental conditions such as rain
and faded lane markings, can affect
Autopilot performance.
WARNING: Traffic-Aware Cruise
Control is designed for your driving
comfort and convenience and is not a
collision warning or avoidance system.
It is your responsibility to stay alert,
drive safely, and be in control of the
vehicle at all times. Never depend on
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control to
adequately slow down Model Y.
Always watch the road in front of you
and be prepared to take corrective
action at all times. Failure to do so can
result in serious injury or death.
WARNING: Although Traffic-Aware
Cruise Control is capable of detecting
pedestrians and cyclists, never depend
on Traffic-Aware Cruise Control to
adequately slow Model Y down for
them. Always watch the road in front
of you and be prepared to take
corrective action at all times. Failure to
do so can result in serious injury or
death.

WARNING: Do not use Traffic-Aware
Cruise Control on winding roads with
sharp curves, on icy or slippery road
surfaces, or when weather conditions
(such as heavy rain, snow, fog, etc.)
make it inappropriate to drive at a
consistent speed. Traffic-Aware Cruise
Control does not adapt driving speed
based on road and driving conditions.
To Use Traffic-Aware Cruise
Control
To initiate Traffic-Aware Cruise Control when
no vehicle is detected ahead of you, you must
be driving at least 30 km/h, unless certain
vehicle and environmental conditions are met,
in which case, you may be able to initiate it at
lower speeds. If a vehicle is detected ahead of
you, you can initiate Traffic-Aware Cruise
Control at any speed, even when stationary,
provided Model Y is at least 150 cm behind
the detected vehicle and certain vehicle and
environmental conditions are met.
NOTE: The maximum cruising speed is 150
km/h. It is the driver's responsibility to cruise
at a safe speed based on road conditions and
speed limits.
When Traffic-Aware Cruise
Control is available but not
engaged, the touchscreen
displays the cruising speed
in gray. The number shown
represents the cruising
speed that will be set when
you engage Traffic-Aware
Cruise Control.
When Traffic-Aware Cruise
Control is actively cruising at
a set cruising speed, the
cruising speed is highlighted
with blue text.
