Tesla MODEL 3 2020 Owner's Manual page 118

Traffic-Aware Cruise Control
NOTE: Overtake Acceleration occurs when
you hold the turn signal in the momentary
position (partially engaged). When you
release the turn signal, Model 3 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 3
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, move the gear lever up and release
or press the brake pedal. The speedometer
icon on the touchscreen turns gray to indicate
that Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is no longer
active.
WARNING: Do not hold the gear lever
up for more than one second. Doing
so cancels Traffic-Aware Cruise
Control and shifts Model 3 into
Neutral.
116
To re-enable cruising at the current driving
speed, move the gear lever fully down once
then release.
NOTE: When Traffic-Aware Cruise Control
cancels, Model 3 does not coast. Instead,
regenerative braking slows down Model 3 in
the same way as when you move your foot off
the accelerator when driving without Traffic-
Aware Cruise Control (see
Braking on page 78).
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.
• You shift Model 3 into a different gear.
• A door is opened.
• The view from the radar sensor or
camera(s) 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 3 no longer
drives consistently at a set speed and no
longer maintains a specified distance from
the vehicle ahead.
