Tesla MODEL Y - Page 90

Warning: Never depend on Trac-Aware
Cruise Control to adequately slow down
Model Y 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, briefly engaging the
turn signal (to indicate a move into the
passing lane) accelerates Model Y towards the
vehicle ahead. By momentarily holding the
turn signal lever 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 Y 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 Y gets too close to the vehicle
ahead.
OR
• You disengage the turn signal.
Note: Overtake Acceleration occurs when you
hold the turn signal in the momentary position
(partially engaged). When you release the turn
signal, Model Y 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 Y 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, move the gear lever up and release or
press the brake pedal. The speedometer icon
on the touchscreen turns gray to indicate that
Trac-Aware Cruise Control is no longer
active.
Warning: Do not hold the gear lever up
for more than one second. Doing so
cancels Trac-Aware Cruise Control and
shifts Model Y into Neutral.
To re-enable cruising at the current driving
speed, move the gear lever fully down once
then release.
Note: When Trac-Aware Cruise Control
cancels, Model Y does not coast. Instead,
regenerative braking slows down Model Y in
the same way as when you move your foot o
the accelerator when driving without Trac-
