Tesla Model 3 - Page 98

• Autosteer or Trac-Aware Cruise Control is engaged.
• The cameras can detect an upcoming trac light, stop sign or road marking (for example, cameras are
unobstructed and have a clear line-of-sight to the trac light, stop sign, or road marking).
• 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 a stop may not be appropriate.
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 identify 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.
