Trac Lights
When driving with Autosteer or Trac-Aware Cruise Control engaged, and Trac Light and Stop Sign Control
enabled, Model 3 is designed to respond as follows when approaching intersections controlled by a trac light:
Type of Trac Light Vehicle Intended Response
At a solid green trac light, or at a trac light that is currently o (not
illuminated), Model 3 slows down.
If you are following a car in front of you that continues through the intersection, a
green stop line displays on the touchscreen and provided your hands are detected
on the steering wheel,
Model 3 also continues. If a car is not in front of you, a red
stop line displays on the touchscreen and you must confirm that you want to
continue through the intersection by pressing down on the drive stalk or briefly
pressing the accelerator pedal. If you don’t confirm, Model 3 stops at the red stop
line.
NOTE: Model 3 resumes the set cruising speed when it continues through the
intersection, taking into consideration the speed of a vehicle is in front of you.
Model 3 slows down and comes to a complete stop at the red stop line shown on
the touchscreen. When you want to continue through the intersection (for
example, after the light turns green again, or once Model 3 has come to a complete
stop), you must press down on the drive stalk or briefly press the accelerator
pedal.
Model 3 slows down and comes to a complete stop at the red stop line shown on
the touchscreen. When you want to proceed through the intersection (for example,
after the light turns green again), you must press down on the drive stalk or briefly
press the accelerator pedal.
NOTE: If the trac light changes after you've confirmed that you want to proceed
(for example, a green
trac light turns yellow), Model 3 may stop instead of
continuing, especially if Model 3 determines that it can safely stop before entering
the intersection.
NOTE: Model 3 is not designed to proceed through an intersection when the trac
light is red or if the light turns yellow when there is adequate distance to safely
stop before the intersection.
NOTE: You can take over driving at any time by manually braking to cancel
Autosteer or
Trac-aware Cruise Control.
