Tesla MODEL X - Page 102

As you rotate the Autopilot stalk, the instrument panel
displays the current setting. Release the stalk when the
desired setting is displayed.
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 X 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, engaging the turn signal (to indicate a
move into the passing lane) accelerates
Model X
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 X 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 X gets too close to the vehicle ahead.
OR
•
You disengage the turn signal.
NOTE: Overtake Acceleration occurs when you fully
engage the turn signal, or you . When you release the
turn signal,
Model X 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 X 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, briefly
push the Autopilot stalk away from you or press the
brake pedal. The speedometer icon on the instrument
panel turns gray to indicate that Trac-Aware Cruise
Control is no longer active.
To resume cruising at the previously set speed, briefly
pull the Autopilot stalk toward you.
