Limitations And Warnings - Tesla CYBERTRUCK Owner's Manual

This topic includes warnings, cautions, and limitations
pertaining to the following Autopilot and Full Self-
Driving (Beta) features.
• Traffic-Aware Cruise Control on page 129
• Autosteer on page 130
NOTE: Depending on market region, vehicle
configuration, options purchased, and software version,
your vehicle may not be equipped with all features listed
above, or a feature may not operate as described.
WARNING: Read the following warnings and
limitations carefully before using Autopilot. Failure
to follow all warnings and instructions can result in
property damage, serious injury, or death.
NOTE: Ensure all cameras are clean and free of
obstructions before each drive and before using
Autopilot features (see Cleaning a Camera on page
Dirty cameras as well as environmental conditions such
as rain and faded lane markings, can affect Autopilot
performance. If a camera is obstructed or blinded,
Cybertruck displays a message on the touchscreen and
Autopilot features may not be available. For more
information on specific alerts, see
Alerts on page 228.
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control
While using Traffic-Aware Cruise Control, it is the
driver's responsibility to stay alert, drive safely, and be
in control of the vehicle at all times. Always keep your
eyes on the road when driving and be prepared to take
corrective action as needed.
In addition, it is the driver's responsibility to cruise at a
safe speed and maintain a safe following distance based
on road conditions and applicable speed limits. Be
aware of the following limitations while Traffic-Aware
Cruise Control is active.
• There may be situations where the cruising speed
may not change when the speed limit changes.
• Traffic-Aware Cruise Control does not adapt driving
speed based on road and driving conditions. 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.
• Do not rely on Traffic-Aware Cruise Control to
maintain an accurate or appropriate following
distance.
• Traffic-Aware Cruise Control may be unable to
provide adequate speed control because of limited
braking capability and hills. It can also misjudge the
distance from a vehicle ahead. Driving downhill can
increase driving speed, causing Cybertruck to exceed
your set speed (and potentially the road's speed
limit).

Troubleshooting
• Traffic-Aware Cruise Control may occasionally cause
Cybertruck to brake when not required or when you
are not expecting it. This can be caused by closely
following a vehicle ahead, detecting vehicles or
objects in adjacent lanes (especially on curves), etc.
• Due to limitations inherent in the onboard GPS
(Global Positioning System), you may experience
situations in which Cybertruck slows down, especially
near exits or off-ramps where a curve is detected
and/or you are navigating to a destination and not
following the route.
• 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.
• Traffic-Aware Cruise Control may not detect all
objects and, especially when cruising over 50 mph
(80 km/h), may not brake/decelerate when a vehicle
or object is only partially in the driving lane or when a
vehicle you are following moves out of your driving
path and a stationary or slow-moving vehicle or
object is in front of you.
• Traffic-Aware Cruise Control may react to vehicles or
objects that either do not exist, or are not in your
lane of travel, causing Cybertruck to slow down
unnecessarily or inappropriately.
WARNING: Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is
particularly unlikely to operate as intended in the
following types of situations:
• The road has sharp curves or significant
changes in elevation.
• Road signs and signals are unclear, ambiguous,
or poorly maintained.
• Visibility is poor (due to heavy rain, snow, hail,
etc. or poorly lit roadways at night)
• You are driving in a tunnel or next to a highway
divider that interferes with the view of the
camera(s)
• Bright light (such as from oncoming headlights
or direct sunlight) interferes with the view of
the camera(s).
WARNING: The list above does not represent an
exhaustive list of situations that may interfere with
proper operation of Traffic-Aware Cruise Control.
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
Cybertruck at all times.
