Tesla Motors Inc 1048598 Manuel D’Utilisation

When following a vehicle, Traffic-Aware Cruise
Control remains active at low speeds. If
Model X comes to a standstill and remains
stationary for approximately three seconds (or
approximately 30 seconds when on a
highway), Traffic-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 

 on page 77).Traffic-Aware Cruise

Control resumes operating at your currently

set speed. If you don't resume cruise control,

cruise cancels and you must set the cruising

speed again.
Note: If you double-pull the cruise control

lever, Autosteer activates and the set speed

changes to your current driving speed.
When Traffic-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: Traffic-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 Traffic-Aware Cruise Control to avoid

a collision can result in serious injury or

death. In addition, Traffic-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: Traffic-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 Traffic-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 Traffic-Aware

Cruise Control to slow the vehicle down

enough to prevent a collision can result in
serious injury or death.

Warning: Traffic-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.

Note: A horizontal line displays on the
instrument panel to represent your following
distance from a vehicle ahead (see 

As you rotate the cruise control lever, the
instrument panel displays the current setting.
Release the lever when the desired setting is
displayed.
