Tesla Model 3 - Page 88

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 distance
at all times. Do not rely on Trac-Aware Cruise
Control to maintain an accurate or appropriate
following distance.
WARNING:
Never depend on Trac-Aware Cruise
Control to adequately slow down Model 3 to
avoid a collision. Always watch the road in front of
you and stay prepared to take immediate
corrective action.
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 stalk up or down, you can
quickly accelerate up to your set speed without having
to press the accelerator pedal. The turn signal causes
acceleration only when all of 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 one of the conditions
happen:
• 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 drive stalk 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 no longer
active.
