Collision Avoidance Assist
Emergency braking in progress
Automatic Emergency Braking operates only when
driving between approximately 3 mph (5 km/h) and 124
mph (200 km/h).
Automatic Emergency Braking does not apply the
brakes, or stops applying the brakes, when:
• You turn the steering wheel sharply.
• You press and release the brake pedal while
Automatic Emergency Braking is applying the brakes.
• You accelerate hard while Automatic Emergency
Braking is applying the brakes.
• The vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle, or pedestrian is no
longer detected in the front or rear of the vehicle.
Automatic Emergency Braking is always enabled when
you start Cybertruck. To disable for your current drive,
shift into Park and touch Controls > Autopilot >
Automatic Emergency Braking. When disabled, the
touchscreen displays a visual message.
Automatic Emergency Braking is disabled
WARNING: It is strongly recommended that you
do not disable Automatic Emergency Braking. If
you disable it, Cybertruck does not automatically
apply the brakes in situations where a collision is
considered likely.
NOTE: Automatic Emergency Braking is designed to
reduce the impact of frontal collisions only.
NOTE: Automatic Emergency Braking is designed to
reduce the impact of frontal and reverse collisions with
limited functionality while in Reverse.
In the event Automatic Emergency Braking is
unavailable, the touchscreen displays a visual warning.
Automatic Emergency Braking is not available
WARNING: Automatic Emergency Braking is
designed to reduce the severity of an impact. It is
not designed to avoid a collision.

WARNING: Several factors can affect the
performance of Automatic Emergency Braking,
causing either no braking or inappropriate or
untimely braking, such as when a vehicle is
partially in the path of travel or there is road
debris. It is the driver's responsibility to drive
safely and remain in control of the vehicle at all
times. Never depend on Automatic Emergency
Braking to avoid or reduce the impact of a
collision.
WARNING: Automatic Emergency Braking is not a
substitute for maintaining a safe traveling distance
between you and the vehicle in front of you.
WARNING: The brake pedal moves downward
abruptly during automatic braking events. Always
ensure that the brake pedal can move freely. Do
not place material under or on top of the driver's
floor mat (including an additional mat) and always
ensure that the driver's floor mat is properly
secured. Failure to do so can impede the ability of
the brake pedal to move freely.
Obstacle-Aware Acceleration
Obstacle-Aware Acceleration is designed to reduce the
impact of a collision by reducing motor torque and in
some cases applying the brakes, if Cybertruck detects
an object in its driving path. The displays a visual
warning and sounds a chime when the brakes are
automatically applied. For example, Cybertruck, while
parked in front of a closed garage door with Drive
engaged, detects that you have pressed hard on the
accelerator pedal. Although Cybertruck still accelerates
and hits the garage door, the reduced torque may result
in less damage.
Obstacle-Aware Acceleration is designed to operate
only when all of these conditions are simultaneously
met:
• Drive or Reverse is engaged.
• Cybertruck is stopped or traveling less than 10 mph
(16 km/h).
• Cybertruck detects an object in its immediate driving
path.
To disable Obstacle-Aware Acceleration, touch Controls
> Autopilot > Obstacle-Aware Acceleration.
WARNING: Obstacle-Aware Acceleration is
designed to reduce the severity of an impact. It is
not designed to avoid a collision.
WARNING: Obstacle-Aware Acceleration may not
limit torque in all situations, such as performing a
sharp turn into a parking space. Several factors,
including environmental conditions, distance from
an obstacle, and a driver's actions, can limit, delay,
or inhibit Obstacle-Aware Acceleration.
