Tesla 3 2018 - Autosteer; Operating Autosteer

To increase/decrease speed by 1 mph (1
km/h), quickly tap the plus (+) or minus (-)
button. To increase/decrease speed by 5 mph
(5 km/h), touch and hold the plus (+) or minus
(-) button. You must release the button before
you can increase/decrease the speed again.
To cruise at the speed limit that is currently
being determined by Speed Assist (including
any osets that you have set), move the gear
lever fully down once then release. See Speed
Assist on page 78.
Note: It may take a few seconds for Model 3 to
reach the new cruising speed, assuming Model
3 does not detect a vehicle ahead driving
slower than your set speed.
Overtake Acceleration
When following a vehicle with
Trac-Aware
Cruise Control active, briefly engaging the
turn signal (to indicate a move into the
passing lane) accelerates Model 3 towards the
vehicle ahead. By momentarily holding the
turn signal lever up or down, you can quickly
accelerate up to your set speed without
having to press the accelerator pedal. The turn
signal accelerates only when the following
conditions are met:
•
Trac-Aware Cruise Control is operating
and detects a vehicle in front of you.
• No obstacles or vehicles are detected in
the target lane.
• Model 3 is traveling below the set speed,
but over 45 mph (72 km/h).
Overtake Acceleration is intended as an aid
when passing a vehicle ahead of you. When
the turn signal is engaged,
Trac-Aware
Cruise Control continues to maintain distance
from the vehicle ahead, but allows you to drive
slightly closer than your selected distance.
Acceleration cancels when:
• You reach your set cruising speed.
• Changing lanes takes too long.
• Model 3 gets too close to the vehicle
ahead.
OR
• You disengage the turn signal.
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 Trac-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 Trac-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
Trac-Aware Cruise Control is not actively
controlling your speed.
Note: If you hold the gear lever upward for
more than 1 second, Model 3 shifts into Neutral
after canceling Trac-Aware Cruise Control.
To re-enable cruising at the current driving
speed, move the gear lever fully down once
then release.
