Autopilot Features
In a region with right hand traffic, this occurs only when
you engage the right turn signal when driving in the
right-most lane within 164 ft. (50 meters) of an exit.
Likewise in regions with left hand traffic, this occurs
when engaging the left turn signal when driving in the
left-most lane within 164 ft. (50 meters) of an exit.
When enabled while on a highway interchange or off-
ramp, Traffic-Aware Cruise Control may reduce your set
speed in 5 mph (5 km/h) increments – to as slow as
25 mph (40 km/h) – to better match the reported
speeds of other Tesla vehicles that have driven at that
specific location. To override this and continue cruising
at your set speed, tap the accelerator pedal. The new set
speed is maintained for the duration of the interchange
or off-ramp (unless you override it or cancel Autopilot).
After the interchange or off-ramp, the set speed may
revert or change as necessary based on the new
location. For example, if you merged onto a different
highway, the set cruising speed reverts to what it was
before driving on the interchange.
WARNING: In some cases (such as having
insufficient data), Traffic-Aware Cruise Control may
not automatically reduce the set speed on the
highway interchange or off-ramp. Do not rely on
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control to determine an
appropriate driving speed. Tesla recommends
driving at a speed that is safe for road conditions
and within posted speed limits.
When cruising onto an on-ramp to a controlled-access
highway, Autopilot automatically adjusts the set cruising
speed to the speed limit of the highway, plus any offset
you have specified.
Overtake Acceleration
Engage the turn signal momentarily to accelerate
Cybertruck towards the vehicle ahead of it. By
momentarily holding the turn signal, you can quickly
accelerate up to your set speed without having to press
the accelerator pedal as long as:
• Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is operating and detects
a vehicle in front of you.
• No obstacles or vehicles are detected in the target
lane.
• Cybertruck is traveling below the set speed, but over
45 mph (72 km/h).
Cybertruck stops accelerating when you reach your set
cruising speed, if changing lanes takes too long, or if
Cybertruck gets too close the vehicle ahead. Cybertruck
also stops accelerating if you disengage the turn signal.

Stop Light and Stop Sign Warning
While Autopilot is in use, Cybertruck displays a warning
on the touchscreen and sounds a chime if it detects that
you are likely to run through a red stop light or stop
sign. If this happens, TAKE IMMEDIATE CORRECTIVE
ACTION!
The visual and audible warnings cancel after a few
seconds or when you press the brake pedal, whichever
comes first.
Stop Light and Stop Sign Warning provides warnings
only. It does not slow down or stop Cybertruck at red
traffic lights, stop signs, road markings, etc.
Emergency Vehicles
If available in your market region, Cybertruck
automatically reduces driving speed when lights from an
emergency vehicle are detected when using Autosteer
at night on a high speed road. When this happens, the
touchscreen displays a message informing you of the
slowdown. You will also hear a chime, and see a
reminder to keep your hands on the steering wheel.
When the light detections pass by or cease to appear,
Autopilot resumes your cruising speed. Alternatively,
you may tap the accelerator to resume your cruising
speed.
Never depend on Autopilot features to determine the
presence of emergency vehicles. Cybertruck may not
detect lights from emergency vehicles. Keep your eyes
on your driving path and always be prepared to take
immediate action.
Driver Attentiveness
Autosteer determines how best to steer Cybertruck.
When active, Autosteer requires you to hold the steering
wheel. If it does not detect your hands on the steering
wheel for a period of time, a flashing blue light appears
at the top of the vehicle status section of the
touchscreen and the following message displays:
Apply slight turning force to steering
wheel
When your hands are detected, the message disappears
and Autosteer resumes normal operation. Autosteer
detects your hands by recognizing slight resistance as
the steering wheel turns, or from you manually turning
the steering wheel very lightly (without enough force to
take over steering). Autosteer also qualifies your hands
as being detected if you engage a turn signal or use a
button or scroll wheel on the steering wheel.
