WARNING: Trac Light and Stop Sign
Control DOES NOT turn Model Y
through an intersection. When in a
turning lane, Model Y stops at the red
stop line. To proceed, press down on
the drive stalk or briefly press the
accelerator pedal—Model Y continues
straight through the intersection (even
when in a turning lane), so you MUST
manually steer Model Y through the
intersection (which cancels
Autosteer).
Trac Light and Stop Sign Control is
designed to operate as described only when
the following conditions are met:
•
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 Y is displaying
an upcoming trac light in "bold" format.
Model Y 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 Y does not slow down and stop for
it.
WARNING:
If the touchscreen is not
displaying a red stop line at an
upcoming intersection, Model Y 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 Y 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 Y 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 Y 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 Y
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).
