Tesla MODEL 3 2022 - Page 98

• The touchscreen on Model 3 is displaying an
upcoming trac light in "bold" format. Model 3 does
not acknowledge trac lights that the touchscreen
shows as faded. If a trac light is not directly ahead
of the camera (for example, it is located at an angle
of the camera's view, or located in an adjacent lane)
the
touchscreen displays it as faded and Model 3
does not slow down and stop for it.
WARNING: If the touchscreen is not displaying a
red stop line at an upcoming intersection, Model 3
does not slow down or stop. It is the driver's
responsibility to pay attention to upcoming
intersections and monitor trac conditions to
determine when and if the vehicle should stop and
then to take appropriate action as needed.
WARNING: Never depend on Trac Light and
Stop Sign Control to determine whether to stop at,
or proceed through, an intersection. Drive
attentively by watching the road and paying
attention to the roadway, upcoming intersections,
trac conditions, crosswalks, and other road users.
It is always the driver's responsibility to determine
whether to stop or proceed. Be prepared to take
immediate action. Failure to do so can result in
injury or death.
WARNING: In some situations, Trac Light and
Stop Sign Control may inaccurately detect a trac
light or stop sign, causing Model 3 to slow down
unexpectedly. Be prepared to take immediate
action at all times.
WARNING: You must press down on the drive stalk
or briefly press the accelerator pedal to confirm
that you want to proceed through an intersection,
regardless of the status of the trac light. If you
do not confirm, Model 3 stops at the red stop line
displayed on the touchscreen, even if stopping
may be inappropriate. Stopping at a green light
may confuse other drivers and may result in a
collision, injury or death. Therefore, always pay
attention to upcoming intersections and be
prepared to manually brake or accelerate in
response to surroundings.
WARNING: Never assume that your ability to see a
trac light, stop sign, or road marking (especially
at a complex intersection, or an intersection in
which a trac light or sign is partially obstructed,
etc.) means that Model 3 can also see it and
respond appropriately.
WARNING: Even the most recent map data does
not include all trac lights and stop signs.
Therefore, Trac Light and Stop Sign Control
relies heavily on the ability of the cameras to
detect trac lights, stop signs, road markings, etc.
As a result, Model 3 may ignore an intersection
that is blocked from the camera's view (for
example, obstructed by a tree or a large vehicle or
object, or located near a steep hill or sharp curve).
WARNING: Trac Light and Stop Sign Control is
not a substitute for attentive driving and sound
judgment.
