Tesla CYBERTRUCK Owner's Manual page 91

This indicator displays on the touchscreen
whenever Vehicle Hold is actively holding
Cybertruck while stopped.
To disengage Vehicle Hold, press the accelerator or
brake pedal, or shift into Neutral.
NOTE: After actively braking Cybertruck for
approximately ten minutes, Cybertruck shifts into Park
and Vehicle Hold cancels. The parking brake is still
applied. Cybertruck also shifts into Park if it detects that
the driver has left the vehicle.
Parking Brake
The parking brake is automatically engaged when in
Park, and automatically disengages when shifted out of
Park.
To manually engage the parking brake, touch Controls >
Safety > Parking Brake. Follow the onscreen
instructions. Manually disengage the parking brake by
selecting Parking Brake again.
When you manually apply the parking
brake using the touchscreen, the red
parking brake indicator lights up on the
touchscreen.
If the parking brake experiences an
electrical issue, the amber parking brake
indicator lights up and a fault message
displays on the touchscreen.
NOTE: The parking brake operates on the rear wheels
only, and is independent of the pedal-operated brake
system.
CAUTION: In the unlikely event that Cybertruck
loses electrical power, you cannot access the
touchscreen and are therefore unable to release
the parking brake without first jump starting (see
Jump Starting on page
WARNING: In snowy or icy conditions the rear
wheels may not have sufficient traction to prevent
Cybertruck from sliding down a slope, particularly
if not using winter tires. Avoid parking on hills in
snowy or icy conditions. You are always
responsible for parking safely.

Braking and Stopping
WARNING: Your Cybertruck may display an alert if
the road is too steep to safely park, or if the
parking brakes are not properly engaged. These
alerts are for guidance purposes only and are not a
substitute for the driver's judgment of safe parking
conditions, including specific road or weather
conditions. Do not depend on these alerts to
determine whether or not it is safe to park at any
location. You are always responsible for parking
safely.
Brake Wear
Cybertruck brake pads are equipped with wear
indicators. A wear indicator is a thin metal strip attached
to the brake pad that squeals as it rubs against the rotor
when the pad wears down. This squealing sound
indicates that the brake pads have reached the end of
their service life and require replacement.
Brakes must be periodically inspected visually by
removing the tire and wheel. For detailed specifications
and service limits for rotors and brake pads, see
Subsystems on page 215. Additionally, Tesla
recommends cleaning and lubricating the brake calipers
every year or 12,500 miles (20,000 km) if in an area
where roads are salted during winter months.
WARNING: Neglecting to replace worn brake pads
damages the braking system and can result in a
braking hazard.
