Tesla 3 - Page 86

• Model 3 detects a pedestrian (the HOLD
state may clear when the pedestrian is no
longer detected).
• Model 3 suddenly loses visibility of the
vehicle in front of you.
• The ultrasonic sensors detect an obstacle
in front of Model 3.
Cruising Near or On Freeway Exits
When cruising near an exit on a controlled
access road (such as a highway or freeway)
and engaging the turn signal toward the exit,
Trac-Aware Cruise Control assumes you are
exiting and begins to slow down the vehicle. If
you do not drive onto the exit, Trac-Aware
Cruise Control resumes cruising at the set
speed. In a region with right hand trac, this
occurs only when you engage the right turn
signal when driving in the right-most lane
within 50 meters of an exit. Likewise in regions
with left hand trac; when engaging the left
turn signal when driving in the left-most lane
within 50 meters of an exit.
Note: The onboard Global Positioning System
(GPS) determines if you are driving in a region
with right or left hand trac. In situations
where GPS data is unavailable (for example, if
there is inadequate signal), engaging the turn
signal near an exit does not cause Trac-
Aware Cruise Control to slow down Model 3.
When enabled while on a highway interchange
or o-ramp in certain regions, Trac-Aware
Cruise Control may reduce your set speed in
5 km/h increments – to as slow as 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 or
touch the plus (+) or minus (-) button on the
touchscreen. The new set speed is maintained
for the duration of the interchange or o-ramp
(unless you override it or cancel Trac-Aware
Cruise Control). After the interchange or o-
ramp, the set speed may revert or change as
necessary based on the new location. For
example, if you merged onto a dierent
highway, the set speed reverts back to the set
speed that was in use before driving on the
interchange.
Warning:
In some cases (such as having
insucient data), Trac-Aware Cruise
Control may not automatically reduce the
set speed on the highway interchange or
o-ramp. Do not rely on Trac-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.
Adjust the Following Distance
To adjust the following distance you want to
maintain between Model 3 and a vehicle
traveling ahead of you, press the steering
wheel's right scroll button to the left or right
to choose a setting from 1 (the closest
following distance) to 7 (the longest following
distance). Each setting corresponds to a time-
based distance that represents how long it
takes for Model 3, from its current location, to
reach the location of the rear bumper of the
vehicle ahead of you.
You can also display and adjust the setting for
the following distance on the touchscreen at
any time, even when Trac-Aware Cruise
Control is not active. Touch Controls >
Autopilot > Cruise Follow Distance, then
adjust the following distance by touching plus
(+) or minus (-).
As you adjust the following distance, the
touchscreen displays the current setting.
Note: Your setting is retained until you
manually change it.
Warning:
It is the driver's responsibility to
determine and maintain a safe following
