Tesla X User Manual

You can accelerate at any time when driving at
a set speed using Trac-Aware Cruise
Control. But when you release the accelerator,
Model X returns to the set speed.
When following a vehicle, Trac-Aware Cruise
Control remains active at low speeds, even if
Model X comes to a standstill while following a
vehicle. When trac is moving again, Trac-
Aware Cruise Control resumes operating at
your currently set speed. However, if a
pedestrian or object is detected in front of
Model X,
Trac-Aware Cruise Control goes
into a HOLD state and the instrument panel
displays a message indicating that you need
to resume cruise control. To resume, press the
accelerator pedal or pull the cruise control
lever toward you (see Canceling and
Resuming on page 81).
In right hand
trac, engaging the right turn
signal when driving in the right-most lane
within 164 feet (50 meters) of an exit (on a
restricted access road only, such as a highway
or freeway), causes
Trac-Aware Cruise
Control to assume you are exiting. As a result,
Trac-Aware Cruise Control begins to slow
down the vehicle. Likewise in left hand
trac,
when engaging the left turn signal when
driving in the left-most lane within 164 feet
(50 meters) of an exit. The onboard GPS
(Global Positioning System) determines if you
are driving in a region with right or left hand
trac. In situations where GPS data is
unavailable (for example, inadequate signal),
engaging the turn signal near an exit does not
cause
Trac-Aware Cruise Control to slow
down the vehicle.
Note: If you double-pull the cruise control
lever, Autosteer activates and the set speed
changes to your current driving speed. If you
pull and hold the lever momentarily, your set
cruising speed is adjusted to either your
current driving speed, or the speed limit that
is in
eect, whichever is greater (see Cruising
at the Speed Limit on page 79).
Note: When Trac-Aware Cruise Control is
actively slowing down Model X to maintain the
selected distance from the vehicle ahead, the
brake lights turn on to alert other road users
that you are slowing down. You may also
notice slight movement of the brake pedal.
Warning: Due to limitations inherent in
the onboard GPS, you may experience
situations in which Trac-Aware Cruise
Control slows down the vehicle, especially
near highway exits where a curve is
detected and/or you are actively
navigating to a destination and not
following the route.
Warning: Trac-Aware Cruise Control
can not detect all objects and may not
brake/decelerate for stationary vehicles,
especially in situations when you are
driving over 50 mph (80 km/h) and a
vehicle you are following moves out of
your driving path and a stationary vehicle
or object, bicycle, or pedestrian is in front
of you instead. Always pay attention to
the road ahead and stay prepared to take
immediate corrective action. Depending
on
Trac-Aware Cruise Control to avoid
a collision can result in serious injury or
death. In addition,
Trac-Aware Cruise
Control may react to vehicles or objects
that either do not exist or are not in the
lane of travel, causing Model X 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 X to exceed your set
speed. 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.
Warning: Trac-Aware Cruise Control
may occasionally brake Model X when not
required or you are not expecting it. This
can be caused by closely following a
vehicle ahead, detecting vehicles or
objects in adjacent lanes (especially on
curves), etc.
Adjust your following distance
To adjust the distance you want to maintain
between Model X and a vehicle traveling
ahead of you, rotate the cruise control lever to
choose a setting from 1 (the closest following
distance) to 7 (the longest following distance).
Each setting corresponds to a time-based
distance that represents how long it takes for
Model X, from its current location, to reach the
location of the rear bumper of the vehicle
ahead.
