Tesla MODEL Y 2012 Owner's Manual page 90

Traffic-Aware Cruise Control
• A door is opened.
• A camera or sensor is obstructed. This could be
caused by dirt, mud, ice, snow, fog, etc.
• The traction control setting is manually disabled or is
repeatedly engaging to prevent wheels from slipping.
• The wheels are spinning while at a standstill.
• The Traffic-Aware Cruise Control system is failing or
requires service.
When Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is unavailable or
cancels, Model Y no longer drives consistently at a set
speed and no longer maintains a specified distance from
the vehicle ahead.
WARNING: Traffic-Aware Cruise Control can cancel
unexpectedly at any time for unforeseen reasons.
Always watch the road in front of you and stay
prepared to take appropriate action. It is the
driver's responsibility to be in control of Model Y at
all times.
Summary of Cruise Indicators
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is available
but is not actively controlling your speed
until you activate it. The number shown in
gray is the cruising speed that will be set
when you engage Traffic-Aware Cruise
Control.
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is actively
cruising and is either maintaining the set
speed (no vehicle in front) or is
maintaining a chosen following distance
from a vehicle ahead (up to the set speed).
Model Y has fully stopped but is in a HOLD
state. If safe, press the accelerator pedal to
resume cruising at the set speed.
Limitations
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is particularly unlikely to
operate as intended in the following types of situations:
• The road has sharp curves.
• Visibility is poor (due to heavy rain, snow, fog, etc.).
• Bright light (such as from oncoming headlights or
direct sunlight) is interfering with the view of the
camera(s).
• A camera or sensor is obstructed (fogged over, dirty,
covered by a sticker, etc.).
WARNING: The list above does not represent an
exhaustive list of situations that may interfere with
proper operation of Traffic-Aware Cruise Control.
