This topic describes how to enable and use the following
driver assistance features.
NOTE: Depending on market region, vehicle configuration,
options purchased, and software version, your vehicle may
not be equipped with the following features, or a feature may
not operate exactly as described.
•
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control: Like traditional cruise
control, Traffic-Aware Cruise Control maintains a set
driving speed. However, Traffic-Aware Cruise Control also
slows down or accelerates Model Y as needed to maintain
the following distance from the vehicle in front of you.
While Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is engaged, you are
still responsible for steering
Model Y (see Traffic-Aware
Cruise Control on page 102).
•
Autosteer: Like Traffic-Aware Cruise Control, Autosteer
maintains a set speed (if there is not a vehicle in front of
you) or a set following distance (if there is a vehicle in
front of you). In addition, Autosteer detects lane
markings, road edges, and the presence of vehicles and
objects to intelligently keep
Model Y in its driving lane
(see Autosteer on page 102).
NOTE: Autosteer is a BETA feature.
• Auto Lane Change: When you engage a turn signal while
Autosteer is active, Auto Lane Change moves Model Y
into the adjacent lane in the direction indicated by the
turn signal (see
Auto Lane Change on page 103).
These features use information from the cameras on Model Y
to detect lane markings, road edges, and other vehicles and
road users around
Model Y.
CAUTION: Ensure all cameras are clean and free of
obstructions before each drive and before using
Autopilot features (see Cleaning a Camera on page 179).
Dirty cameras and sensors (if equipped), as well as
environmental conditions such as rain and faded lane
markings, can affect Autopilot performance. If a
camera is obstructed or blinded, Model Y displays a
message on the touchscreen and Autopilot features
may not be available.
CAUTION: It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself
with the limitations of Autopilot and the situations in
which driver intervention may be needed. For more
information, see Limitations and Warnings on page 114.
Autopilot Settings
Before you use Autopilot features, customize how they work
by touching
Controls > Autopilot.
•
Set Speed: Choose whether Autopilot engages at the
currently detected speed limit or your current driving
speed. Touch
Controls > Autopilot and choose either
Speed Limit or Current Speed.
•
Offset: If you choose Speed Limit, you can specify an
offset by touching Set Speed Offset. You can choose
Fixed (the cruising speed adjusts by a specific amount on
all roads) or Percentage (the cruising speed is adjusted as
a percentage of the road's detected speed limit).
• Green Traffic Light Chime
: In Canada and U.S.: If on, a
chime will sound when you are waiting at a red traffic light
and the light turns green. If you are not actively using
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and are waiting at a red light
with a car in front of you, the chime sounds when the car
ahead of you advances.
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control
To enable Traffic-Aware Cruise Control, touch Controls >
Autopilot > Traffic-Aware Cruise Control.
To use Traffic-Aware Cruise Control:
1.
Press the right scroll button, then release the accelerator
pedal to allow Traffic-Aware Cruise Control to maintain
the cruising speed. A chime sounds to indicate that
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is now active.
2.
To change the set speed, roll the right scroll wheel up to
increase, or down to decrease. You can apply the
accelerator at any time to temporarily override the set
cruising speed. For more information, see
While Using
Autopilot on page 104.
3.
To cancel Traffic-Aware Cruise Control, press the right
scroll button or press the brake pedal. For more
information, see Canceling Autopilot on page 104.
When Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is available
but not engaged, the touchscreen displays the
cruising speed in gray. The number shown
represents the speed that will be set when you
engage Traffic-Aware Cruise Control.
When Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is actively
cruising at a set speed, the speed is
highlighted with blue text.
WARNING: Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is designed
for your driving comfort and convenience and is not a
collision warning or avoidance system. It is your
responsibility to stay alert, drive safely, and be in
control of the vehicle at all times. Never depend on
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control to adequately slow down
Model Y. Always watch the road in front of you and be
prepared to take corrective action at all times. Failure
to do so can result in serious injury or death. For more
information, see Limitations and Warnings on page 114.

options purchased, and software version, your vehicle may
not be equipped with Autosteer, or the feature may not
operate exactly as described.
