that either do not exist or are not in the
lane of travel, causing Model Y to slow
down unnecessarily or inappropriately.
Warning: Trac-Aware Cruise Control
may be unable to provide adequate
speed control because of limited braking
capability and hills. It can also misjudge
the distance from a vehicle ahead. Driving
downhill can increase driving speed,
causing Model Y to exceed your set speed
(and potentially the road's speed limit).
Never depend on Trac-Aware Cruise
Control to slow down the vehicle enough
to prevent a collision. Always keep your
eyes on the road when driving and be
prepared to take corrective action as
needed. Depending on Trac-Aware
Cruise Control to slow the vehicle down
enough to prevent a collision can result in
serious injury or death.
Changing the Set Speed
To change the set speed while using Trac-
Aware Cruise Control, roll the right scroll
wheel up (to increase) or down (to decrease)
the set speed until your desired set speed is
displayed. Slowly rolling the scroll wheel
changes the set speed in 1 mph (1 km/h)
increments and quickly rolling the scroll wheel
changes the set speed to the closest 5 mph (5
km/h) increment.
You can also use the touchscreen to change
the set speed by touching the plus (+) or
minus (-) next to the displayed set speed. A
quick tap changes the set speed by 1 mph (1
km/h) and a press and hold changes the set
speed to the closest 5 mph (5 km/h)
increment. To increase/decrease to the next
increment, you must release the plus (+) or
minus (-) then press it again.
Note:
It may take a few seconds for Model Y to
reach the new cruising speed, assuming Model
Y does not detect a vehicle ahead driving
slower than your set speed.
If the touchscreen is displaying a speed limit
sign, you can touch this sign to set the
cruising speed to the current speed limit (plus
any oset you've specified using Speed
Assist).
HOLD State
When following a vehicle, Trac-Aware Cruise
Control remains active at low speeds, even
when Model Y comes to a full stop. When the
vehicle is moving again, Trac-Aware Cruise
Control resumes operating at the set speed.
However, under the following circumstances,
Trac-Aware Cruise Control goes into a HOLD
state, in which case, you need to briefly press
the accelerator pedal to resume cruising.
When the HOLD status is active, the
touchscreen displays the HOLD icon and a
message that indicates that you need to
resume cruise control. The following
circumstances can cause Trac-Aware Cruise
Control to go into the HOLD state:
• Model Y has been at a standstill for 5
minutes.
• Model Y detects a pedestrian (the HOLD
state may clear when the pedestrian is no
longer detected).
• Model Y suddenly loses visibility of the
vehicle in front of you.
• The ultrasonic sensors detect an obstacle
in front of Model Y.
