• Cybertruck suddenly loses visibility of the vehicle in front of you.
• An obstacle is detected in front of Cybertruck.

Cruising Near or On Exits
When you are cruising near an exit on a controlled-access highway and engage the turn signal toward the off-ramp,
Autopilot assumes you are exiting and begins to slow down Cybertruck. If you do not drive onto the off-ramp,
Autopilot resumes cruising at the set speed.
In a region with right hand traffic, this occurs only when you engage the right turn signal when driving in the rightmost lane within 164 ft. (50 meters) of an exit. Likewise in regions with left hand traffic, this occurs when engaging
the left turn signal when driving in the left-most lane within 164 ft. (50 meters) of an exit.
NOTE: If Navigate on Autopilot is active, Cybertruck will perform a route-based lane change to enter the exit lane
and take the off-ramp as necessary to follow the navigation route.
When enabled while on a highway interchange or off-ramp, Traffic-Aware Cruise Control may reduce your set speed
in 5 mph (5 km/h) increments – to as slow as 25 mph (40 km/h) – to better match the reported speeds of other
Tesla vehicles that have driven at that specific location. To override this and continue cruising at your set speed, tap
the accelerator pedal. The new set speed is maintained for the duration of the interchange or off-ramp (unless you
override it or cancel Autopilot). After the interchange or off-ramp, the set speed may revert or change as necessary
based on the new location. For example, if you merged onto a different highway, the set cruising speed reverts to
what it was before driving on the interchange.
Owner's Manual

160

Autopilot
WARNING: In some cases (such as having insufficient data), Traffic-Aware Cruise Control may not
automatically reduce the set speed on the highway interchange or off-ramp. Do not rely on Traffic-Aware
Cruise Control to determine an appropriate driving speed. Tesla recommends driving at a speed that is safe for
road conditions and within posted speed limits.
When cruising onto an on-ramp to a controlled-access highway, Autopilot automatically adjusts the set cruising
speed to the speed limit of the highway, plus any offset you have specified. If Navigate on Autopilot is engaged, it
disengages as you leave the controlled-access highway (see Canceling Autopilot on page 157). In this case,
Autosteer remains active.

Overtake Acceleration
Engage the turn signal momentarily to accelerate Cybertruck towards the vehicle ahead of it. By momentarily
holding the turn signal, you can quickly accelerate up to your set speed without having to press the accelerator
pedal as long as:
• Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is operating and detects a vehicle in front of you.
• No obstacles or vehicles are detected in the target lane.
• Cybertruck is traveling below the set speed, but over 45 mph (72 km/h).
NOTE: If Autosteer is active and you fully engage the turn signal, Cybertruck will change lanes automatically (see
Auto Lane Change on page 155).
Cybertruck stops accelerating when you reach your set cruising speed, if changing lanes takes too long, or if
Cybertruck gets too close the vehicle ahead. Cybertruck also stops accelerating if you disengage the turn signal.

Stop Light and Stop Sign Warning
While Autopilot is in use, Cybertruck displays a warning on the touchscreen and sounds a chime if it detects that you
are likely to run through a red stop light or stop sign. If this happens, TAKE IMMEDIATE CORRECTIVE ACTION!
The visual and audible warnings cancel after a few seconds or when you press the brake pedal, whichever comes
first.
Stop Light and Stop Sign Warning provides warnings only. It does not slow down or stop Cybertruck at red traffic
lights, stop signs, road markings, etc. If equipped with Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control, you can enable this
feature to automatically stop Cybertruck at traffic lights and stop signs (see Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control on
page 163).

Emergency Vehicles
Cybertruck automatically reduces driving speed when lights from an emergency vehicle are detected when using
Autosteer at night on a high speed road. When this happens, the touchscreen displays a message informing you of
the slowdown. You will also hear a chime, and see a reminder to keep your hands on the steering wheel. When the
light detections pass by or cease to appear, Autopilot resumes your cruising speed. Alternatively, you may tap the
accelerator to resume your cruising speed.
Never depend on Autopilot features to determine the presence of emergency vehicles. Cybertruck may not detect
lights from emergency vehicles. Keep your eyes on your driving path and always be prepared to take immediate
action.

Driver Attentiveness
Autosteer determines how best to steer Cybertruck. When active, Autosteer requires you to hold the steering wheel.
If it does not detect your hands on the steering wheel for a period of time, a flashing blue light appears at the top of
the vehicle status section of the touchscreen and the following message displays:

161

Owner's Manual

Autopilot
Apply slight turning force to steering wheel

When your hands are detected, the message disappears and Autosteer resumes normal operation. Autosteer detects
your hands by recognizing slight resistance as the steering wheel turns, or from you manually turning the steering
wheel very lightly (without enough force to take over steering). Autosteer also qualifies your hands as being
detected if you engage a turn signal or use a button or scroll wheel on the steering wheel.
Autosteer requires that you pay attention to your surroundings and remain prepared to take control at any time. If
Autosteer still does not detect your hands on the steering wheel, the flashing light on the vehicle status section of
the touchscreen increases in frequency and a chime sounds.
If you repeatedly ignore Autosteer's prompts to apply slight force to the steering wheel, Autosteer disables for the
rest of the drive and displays the following message requesting you to drive manually.
Autosteer unavailable for the rest of this drive. Hold steering wheel to drive manually.

For the rest of the drive, you must steer manually. Autosteer is available again on your next drive (after you stop and
shift Cybertruck into Park).
If you don't resume manual steering, Autosteer sounds a continuous chime, turns on the warning flashers, and slows
the vehicle to a complete stop.

Autosteer Suspension
Use of Autosteer will be suspended if improper usage is detected.
When you or another driver of your vehicle receives five forced Autopilot disengagements, use of Autosteer is
suspended for a week. A forced disengagement is when the Autopilot system disengages for the remainder of a trip
after the driver receives several audio and visual warnings for inattentiveness. Driver-initiated disengagements do
not count as improper usage.
You can see how many disengagements are remaining before Autosteer access is suspended by touching Controls >
Autopilot.
NOTE: If your access to Autosteer is suspended, you are still able to use Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and all active
safety features are still enabled.

Take Over Steering Immediately
In situations where Autosteer is unable to steer Cybertruck, Autosteer sounds a warning chime and displays the
following message on the .
Take over immediately

When you see this message, TAKE OVER STEERING IMMEDIATELY.

Autopilot
Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control
NOTE: Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control is a BETA feature and works best on roads that are frequently driven by
Tesla vehicles. Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control attempts to stop at all traffic lights and may also stop at green
lights.
Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control is designed to recognize and respond to traffic lights and stop signs, slowing
Cybertruck to a stop when using Traffic-Aware cruise control or Autosteer. This feature uses the vehicle's forwardfacing cameras, in addition to GPS data, and slows the car for all detected traffic lights, including green, blinking
yellow, and off lights in addition to stop signs and some road markings. As Cybertruck approaches an intersection,
the touchscreen displays a notification indicating the intention to slow down. You must confirm that you want to
continue or Cybertruck stops at the red line displayed on the touchscreen's driving visualization.
WARNING: NEVER make assumptions and predict when and where Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control will
stop or continue through an intersection or road marking. From a driver's perspective, the behavior of Traffic
Light and Stop Sign Control may appear inconsistent. Always pay attention to the roadway and be prepared to
take immediate action. It is the driver's responsibility to determine whether to stop or continue through an
intersection. Never depend on Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control to determine when it is safe and/or
appropriate to stop or continue through an intersection.

Before Using
Before using Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control, you must:
• Ensure that forward-facing cameras are unobstructed (see Cleaning a Camera on page 31) and calibrated (see
Drive to Calibrate Cameras on page 32). Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control depends on the ability of the cameras
to detect traffic lights, stop signs, and road markings.
• Ensure that the latest version of maps has been downloaded to Cybertruck. Although Traffic Light and Stop Sign
Control primarily uses visual data received from the vehicle's cameras, greater accuracy is achieved when using
the most recent map data. To check which version of maps is currently downloaded, touch Controls > Software.
You must connect to a Wi-Fi network to receive updated maps (see Map Updates on page 208).
• Enable the feature. With the vehicle in Park, touch Controls > Autopilot > Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control.
Once enabled, Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control operates whenever Traffic-Aware Cruise Control or Autosteer is
active.

How it Works
When Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control is enabled and you are using Autosteer, Traffic-Aware Cruise Control, or
Full Self-Driving (Beta), the touchscreen displays a popup message to inform you that an upcoming traffic light, stop
sign, or road marking has been detected. As it approaches the stop location, even at an intersection where the
traffic light is green, Cybertruck slows down and displays a red line to indicate where Cybertruck will stop. To
continue through the intersection—even if the traffic light is green —you must briefly press the accelerator pedal to
give the vehicle permission to proceed. When you've confirmed that you want to proceed, the red stop line turns
gray and Cybertruck continues through the intersection and resumes your set cruising speed.
NOTE: If Cybertruck is approaching a green light and detects that a vehicle in front of you is continuing through the
intersection, Cybertruck continues through the intersection without requiring your confirmation, provided you are
not in a turning lane and the vehicle can detect that your hands are on the steering wheel.
NOTE: If, after you briefly press the accelerator pedal to confirm that you want to continue through the intersection,
the traffic signal changes before you enter the intersection (for example, the light changes from green to yellow or
from yellow to red), Cybertruck may determine that it is not appropriate to proceed. Therefore, Cybertruck stops
and you must press the accelerator to proceed. At all times, it is your responsibility to ensure the vehicle stops or
accelerates appropriately and safely.
WARNING: Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control DOES NOT turn Cybertruck through an intersection unless Full
Self-Driving (Beta) is engaged. When in a turning lane, Cybertruck stops at the red stop line. To proceed,
briefly press the accelerator pedal—Cybertruck continues straight through the intersection (even when in a
turning lane), so you MUST manually steer Cybertruck through the intersection (which cancels Autosteer).
Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control is designed to operate as described only when the following conditions are met:

163

Owner's Manual

Autopilot
• Autosteer, Full Self-Driving (Beta), or Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is engaged.
• The cameras can detect an upcoming traffic light, stop sign or road marking (for example, cameras are
unobstructed and have a clear line-of-sight to the traffic light, stop sign, or road marking).
• The touchscreen on Cybertruck is displaying an upcoming traffic light in "bold" format. Cybertruck does not
acknowledge traffic lights that the touchscreen shows as faded. If a traffic light is not directly ahead of the
camera (for example, it is located at an angle of the camera's view, or located in an adjacent lane) the
touchscreen displays it as faded and Cybertruck does not slow down and stop for it.
WARNING: If the touchscreen is not displaying a red stop line at an upcoming intersection, Cybertruck does
not slow down or stop. It is the driver's responsibility to pay attention to upcoming intersections and monitor
traffic conditions to determine when and if the vehicle should stop and then to take appropriate action as
needed.
WARNING: Never depend on Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control to determine whether to stop at, or proceed
through, an intersection. Drive attentively by watching the road and paying attention to the roadway,
upcoming intersections, traffic conditions, crosswalks, and other road users. It is always the driver's
responsibility to determine whether to stop or proceed. Be prepared to take immediate action. Failure to do so
can result in injury or death.
WARNING: In some situations, Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control may inaccurately detect a traffic light or
stop sign, causing Cybertruck to slow down unexpectedly. Be prepared to take immediate action at all times.
WARNING: You must briefly press the accelerator pedal to confirm that you want to proceed through an
intersection, regardless of the status of the traffic light. If you do not confirm, Cybertruck stops at the red stop
line displayed on the touchscreen, even if stopping may be inappropriate. Stopping at a green light may
confuse other drivers and may result in a collision, injury or death. Therefore, always pay attention to upcoming
intersections and be prepared to manually brake or accelerate in response to surroundings.
WARNING: Never assume that your ability to see a traffic light, stop sign, or road marking (especially at a
complex intersection, or an intersection in which a traffic light or sign is partially obstructed, etc.) means that
Cybertruck can also see it and respond appropriately.
WARNING: Even the most recent map data does not include all traffic lights and stop signs. Therefore, Traffic
Light and Stop Sign Control relies heavily on the ability of the cameras to detect traffic lights, stop signs, road
markings, etc. As a result, Cybertruck may ignore an intersection that is blocked from the camera's view (for
example, obstructed by a tree or a large vehicle or object, or located near a steep hill or sharp curve).
WARNING: Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control is not a substitute for attentive driving and sound judgment.

Autopilot
Traffic Lights
When driving with Autosteer or Traffic-Aware Cruise Control engaged, and Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control
enabled, Cybertruck is designed to respond as follows when approaching intersections controlled by a traffic light:
Type of Traffic Light

Vehicle Intended Response
At a solid green traffic light, or at a traffic light that is currently off (not
illuminated), Cybertruck slows down.
If you are following a car in front of you that continues through the intersection,
the touchscreen displays a green stop line and provided your hands are detected
on the steering wheel, Cybertruck also continues. If a car is not in front of you, the
touchscreen displays a red stop line and you must confirm that you want to
continue through the intersection by briefly pressing the accelerator pedal. If you
don’t confirm, Cybertruck stops at the red stop line.
NOTE: Cybertruck resumes the set cruising speed when it continues through the
intersection, taking into consideration the speed of a vehicle in front of you.

Cybertruck slows down and comes to a complete stop at the red stop line
displayed on the touchscreen. When you want to continue through the intersection
(for example, the light turns green again, or once Cybertruck has come to a
complete stop), you must briefly press the accelerator pedal.

Cybertruck slows down and comes to a complete stop at the red stop line
displayed on the touchscreen. When you want to proceed through the intersection
(for example, the light turns green again), you must briefly press the accelerator
pedal.
NOTE: If the traffic light changes after you've confirmed that you want to proceed
(for example, a green traffic light turns yellow), Cybertruck may stop instead of
continuing, especially if Cybertruck determines that it can safely stop before
entering the intersection.
NOTE: Cybertruck is not designed to proceed through an intersection when the
traffic light is red or if the light turns yellow in situations when there is adequate
distance to safely stop before entering the intersection.
NOTE: You can take over driving at any time by manually braking to cancel
Autosteer or Traffic-Aware Cruise Control.

Type of Traffic Light

Vehicle Intended Response

Cybertruck slows down. To proceed, you must briefly press the accelerator pedal. If
you don’t, Cybertruck stops at the red stop line displayed on the touchscreen.
NOTE: To prevent Cybertruck from stopping, and to minimize how much it slows
down as it approaches, you can confirm that you want to proceed by briefly
pressing the accelerator pedal at any time after the touchscreen displays the red
stop line. Cybertruck resumes your set cruising speed immediately after you
confirm (taking into consideration the speed of a vehicle in front of you).
WARNING: Approach attentively and be prepared to press the brake pedal to
slow down or stop.

Cybertruck slows down and comes to a complete stop at the red stop line
displayed on the touchscreen. When you want to proceed through the intersection

No Traffic Control

Arm of T-junction
If Cybertruck detects a T-junction based on the map data, Cybertruck slows down
and comes to a complete stop at the red stop line displayed on the touchscreen.
When you want to proceed, you must take over steering and acceleration.
WARNING: Cybertruck may not stop at a T-junction that does not have a stop
sign or stop line, or if the T-junction is not included in the map data. Drive
attentively and be prepared to stop (when necessary and/or appropriate).

End of T-junction
Cybertruck slows down and comes to a complete stop at the red stop line displayed
on the touchscreen. When you want to proceed through the intersection, you must
briefly press the accelerator pedal.
NOTE: If you confirm that you want to proceed through an intersection controlled by
a stop sign by briefly pressing the accelerator pedal before Cybertruck has stopped,
your confirmation is ignored. Cybertruck is not designed to proceed through a stop
sign without stopping.
NOTE: Even when using Autosteer, and even if you have engaged a turn signal, you
must turn the steering wheel yourself (which cancels Autosteer) to complete a turn
at an intersection.

WARNING: Cybertruck also slows down and stops at a roundabout. You must take over steering (which cancels
Autosteer) and briefly press the accelerator pedal to confirm that you want to continue through the
roundabout.
WARNING: At crosswalks, Cybertruck may slow down and may stop, depending on whether the crosswalk is
controlled by a traffic light and whether the cameras detect pedestrians, bicyclists, etc. in the crosswalk. Pay
particular attention at crosswalks and be prepared to take over at any time. Failure to do so can result in injury
or death.

Limitations
Depending on many different circumstances and environmental conditions, Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control may
or may not stop at:
• Railroad crossings.
• Keep-out zones.
• Toll booths.
• Crosswalk systems.
• Yield signs or temporary traffic lights and stop signs (such as at construction areas).
• Miscellaneous traffic U-turn lights, bicycle and pedestrian crossing lights, lane availability lights, etc.
In addition, Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control is particularly unlikely to operate as intended, can disengage, or may
not operate, when one or more of the following conditions are present:
• Driving through consecutive light-controlled intersections that are very close to each other.
• Visibility is poor (heavy rain, snow, fog, etc.) or weather conditions are interfering with camera operation.
• Bright light (such as direct sunlight) is interfering with the view of the camera(s).

Owner's Manual

168

Autopilot
• A camera is obstructed, covered, damaged, or not properly calibrated.
• Driving on a hill or on a road that has sharp curves on which the cameras are unable to see upcoming traffic lights
or stop signs.
• A traffic light, stop sign, or road marking is obstructed (for example, a tree, a large vehicle, etc.).
• Cybertruck is being driven very close to a vehicle in front of it, which is blocking the view of a camera.
WARNING: The limitations listed above are not an exhaustive list of reasons why Cybertruck may not operate
as expected. Many unforeseen circumstances can adversely impact the accurate operation of Traffic Light and
Stop Sign Control. Using this feature does not reduce or eliminate the need to drive attentively and
responsibly. You must be prepared to take appropriate and immediate action at all times.

Limitations and Warnings
This topic includes warnings, cautions, and limitations pertaining to the following Autopilot and Full Self-Driving
(Beta) features.
• Traffic-Aware Cruise Control on page 169
• Autosteer on page 170
• Navigate on Autopilot on page 172
• Autosteer on City Streets (Full Self-Driving (Beta)) on page 172
• Autopark on page 173
• Summon on page 174
• Smart Summon on page 174
WARNING: Read the following warnings and limitations carefully before using Autopilot. Failure to follow all
warnings and instructions can result in property damage, serious injury, or death.
NOTE: Ensure all cameras are clean and free of obstructions before each drive and before using Autopilot features
(see Cleaning a Camera on page 31). Dirty cameras as well as environmental conditions such as rain and faded lane
markings, can affect Autopilot performance. If a camera is obstructed or blinded, Cybertruck displays a message on
the touchscreen and Autopilot features may not be available. For more information on specific alerts, see
Troubleshooting Alerts on page 298.

Traffic-Aware Cruise Control
While using Traffic-Aware Cruise Control, it is the driver’s responsibility to stay alert, drive safely, and be in control
of the vehicle at all times. Always keep your eyes on the road when driving and be prepared to take corrective
action as needed.
In addition, it is the driver’s responsibility to cruise at a safe speed and maintain a safe following distance based on
road conditions and applicable speed limits. Be aware of the following limitations while Traffic-Aware Cruise Control
is active.
• There may be situations where the cruising speed may not change when the speed limit changes.
• Traffic-Aware Cruise Control does not adapt driving speed based on road and driving conditions. Do not use
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control on winding roads with sharp curves, on icy or slippery road surfaces, or when
weather conditions (such as heavy rain, snow, fog, etc.) make it inappropriate to drive at a consistent speed.
• Do not rely on Traffic-Aware Cruise Control to maintain an accurate or appropriate following distance.
• 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 Cybertruck to exceed your set speed (and potentially the road's speed limit).
• Traffic-Aware Cruise Control may occasionally cause Cybertruck to brake when not required or when 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.

169

Owner's Manual

Autopilot
• Due to limitations inherent in the onboard GPS (Global Positioning System), you may experience situations in
which Cybertruck slows down, especially near exits or off-ramps where a curve is detected and/or you are
navigating to a destination and not following the route.
• In some cases (such as having insufficient data), Traffic-Aware Cruise Control may not automatically reduce the
set speed on the highway interchange or off-ramp.
• Traffic-Aware Cruise Control may not detect all objects and, especially when cruising over 50 mph (80 km/h),
may not brake/decelerate when a vehicle or object is only partially in the driving lane or when a vehicle you are
following moves out of your driving path and a stationary or slow-moving vehicle or object is in front of you.
• Traffic-Aware Cruise Control may react to vehicles or objects that either do not exist, or are not in your lane of
travel, causing Cybertruck to slow down unnecessarily or inappropriately.
WARNING: Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is particularly unlikely to operate as intended in the following types of
situations:
• The road has sharp curves or significant changes in elevation.
• Road signs and signals are unclear, ambiguous, or poorly maintained.
• Visibility is poor (due to heavy rain, snow, hail, etc. or poorly lit roadways at night)
• You are driving in a tunnel or next to a highway divider that interferes with the view of the camera(s)
• Bright light (such as from oncoming headlights or direct sunlight) interferes with the view of the camera(s).
WARNING: The list above does not represent an exhaustive list of situations that may interfere with proper
operation of Traffic-Aware Cruise Control. Traffic-Aware Cruise Control can cancel unexpectedly at any time for
unforeseen reasons. Always watch the road in front of you and stay prepared to take appropriate action. It is
the driver's responsibility to be in control of Cybertruck at all times.
WARNING: Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is designed for your driving comfort and convenience and is not a
collision warning or avoidance system. Never depend on Traffic-Aware Cruise Control to adequately slow down
Cybertruck. 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.
WARNING: Although Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is capable of detecting pedestrians and cyclists, never
depend on Traffic-Aware Cruise Control to adequately slow Cybertruck down for them. Failure to do so can
result in serious injury or death.

Autosteer
WARNING: Autosteer is a hands-on feature. Keep your hands on the steering wheel at all times, be mindful of
road conditions and surrounding traffic, and always be prepared to take immediate action. Failure to follow
these instructions could cause damage, serious injury or death.
WARNING: Autosteer is intended for use on controlled-access highways with a fully attentive driver. Do not use
Autosteer in construction zones, or in areas where bicyclists or pedestrians may be present.
WARNING: Never depend on Autosteer to determine an appropriate driving path.

Owner's Manual

170

Autopilot
CAUTION: Autosteer and its associated functions are particularly unlikely to operate as intended when:
• Autosteer is unable to accurately determine lane markings. For example, lane markings are excessively
worn, have visible previous markings, have been adjusted due to road construction, are changing quickly
(lanes branching off, crossing over, or merging), objects or landscape features are casting strong shadows
on the lane markings, or the road surface contains pavement seams or other high-contrast lines.
• Visibility is poor (heavy rain, snow, fog, etc.) or weather conditions are interfering with sensor operation.
• A camera(s) or sensor(s) is obstructed, covered, or damaged.
• Driving on hills.
• Approaching a toll booth.
• Driving on a road that has sharp curves or is excessively rough.
• Bright light (such as direct sunlight) is interfering with the view of the camera(s).
• A vehicle is detected in your blind spot when you engage the turn signal.
• Cybertruck is being driven very close to a vehicle in front of it, which is blocking the view of the camera(s).
WARNING: Many unforeseen circumstances can impair the operation of Autosteer. Always keep this in mind
and remember that as a result, Autosteer may not steer Cybertruck appropriately. Always drive attentively and
be prepared to take immediate action.
WARNING: Autosteer is not designed to, and will not, steer Cybertruck around objects partially in a driving
lane and in some cases, may not stop for objects that are completely blocking the driving lane. Always watch
the road in front of you and stay prepared to take immediate action. It is the driver's responsibility to be in
control of Cybertruck at all times.

Auto Lane Change
CAUTION: When changing lanes using Auto Lane Change, It is the driver's responsibility to determine whether
a lane change is safe and appropriate. Therefore, before initiating a lane change, always check blind spots, lane
markings, and the surrounding roadway to confirm it is safe and appropriate to move into the target lane.
CAUTION: Be aware of the following limitations while using Auto Lane Change.
• Never depend on Auto Lane Change to determine an appropriate driving path. Drive attentively by
watching the road and traffic ahead of you, checking the surrounding area, and monitoring the touchscreen
for warnings. Always be prepared to take immediate action.
• Do not use Auto Lane Change on roads where traffic conditions are constantly changing and where bicycles
and pedestrians are present.
• The performance of Auto Lane Change depends on the ability of the camera(s) to recognize lane markings.
• Do not use Auto Lane Change on winding roads with sharp curves, on icy or slippery roads, or when
weather conditions (such as heavy rain, snow, fog, etc.) may be obstructing the view from the camera(s).
• 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.
• Overtake Acceleration increases your driving speed whenever the appropriate turn signal is engaged, and
accelerates Cybertruck closer to the vehicle ahead. Although Traffic-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.

Stop Light and Stop Sign Warning
WARNING: Stop Light and Stop Sign Warning requires on-board maps to know that a particular stop light or
stop sign exists at a location. In some cases, map data is inaccurate or outdated and may not include all stop
lights or stop signs. Therefore, Stop Light and Stop Sign Warning may not detect all stop lights and stop signs.

171

Owner's Manual

Autopilot
WARNING: The Stop Light and Stop Sign Warning feature does not apply the brakes or decelerate Cybertruck
and may not detect all stop lights and stop signs. Stop Light and Stop Sign Warning is designed for guidance
purposes only and is not a substitute for attentive driving and sound judgment. Keep your eyes on the road
when driving and never depend on Stop Light and Stop Sign Warning to warn you of a stop light or stop sign.
WARNING: Stop Light and Stop Sign Warning is designed to warn you only when approaching a visible red
stop sign, solid red or later portion of a yellow traffic light. It may not warn you of intersections with flashing
lights and it does not warn you of yield signs or temporary stop and yield signs (such as those used in
construction areas). Additionally, Stop Light and Stop Sign Warning does not warn you of approaching stop
lights or stop signs when you are pressing the accelerator pedal or brake pedal (which disables Autosteer).

Navigate on Autopilot
WARNING: Never depend on Navigate on Autopilot to determine an appropriate lane at an off-ramp. Stay alert
and perform visual checks to ensure that the driving lane is safe and appropriate.
WARNING: If you turn off Require Lane Change Confirmation, Navigate on Autopilot notifies you of upcoming
lane changes and off-ramps, but it remains your responsibility to monitor the environment and maintain
control of Cybertruck at all times. Lane changes can occur quickly and suddenly. Always keep your hands on
the wheel and your eyes on the driving path in front of you.
WARNING: Navigate on Autopilot does not make driving autonomous. You must pay attention to the road,
keep your hands on the steering wheel at all times, and remain aware of your navigation route.
WARNING: As is the case with normal driving, be extra careful around blind corners, interchanges, and onramps and off-ramps - obstacles can appear quickly and at any time.
WARNING: Navigate on Autopilot may not recognize or detect oncoming vehicles, stationary objects, and
special-use lanes such as those used exclusively for bikes, carpools, emergency vehicles, etc. Remain alert at all
times and be prepared to take immediate action. Failure to do so can cause damage, injury or death.

Autosteer on City Streets (Full Self-Driving (Beta))
WARNING: Always remember that Full Self-Driving (Beta) (also known as Autosteer on City Streets) does not
make Cybertruck autonomous and requires a fully attentive driver who is ready to take immediate action at
all times.
WARNING: Full Self-Driving (Beta) is a hands-on feature. Keep your hands on the steering wheel at all times,
be mindful of road conditions and surrounding traffic, and always be prepared to take immediate action.
Failure to follow these instructions could cause damage, serious injury or death. It is your responsibility to
familiarize yourself with the limitations of Full Self-Driving (Beta) and the situations in which it may not work as
expected.
WARNING: Failure to follow all warnings and instructions can result in property damage, serious injury or
death.
CAUTION: Full Self-Driving (Beta) and its associated functions may not operate as intended and there are
numerous situations in which driver intervention may be needed. Examples include (but are not limited to):
• Interactions with pedestrians, bicyclists, and other road users.
• Unprotected turns with high-speed cross traffic.
• Multi-lane turns.
• Simultaneous lane changes.
• Narrow roads with oncoming cars or double-parked vehicles.
• Rare objects such as trailers, ramps, cargo, open doors, etc. protruding from vehicles.
• Merges onto high-traffic, high-speed roads.
• Debris in the road.
• Construction zones.
• High curvature roads, particularly at fast driving speeds.
Visibility is critical for Full Self-Driving (Beta) to operate. Low visibility, such as low light or poor weather
conditions (rain, snow, direct sun, fog, etc.) can significantly degrade performance.

Owner's Manual

172

Autopilot
WARNING: Cybertruck may quickly and suddenly make unexpected maneuvers or mistakes that require
immediate driver intervention.
The list above represents only a fraction of the possible scenarios that can cause Full Self-Driving (Beta) to
make sudden maneuvers and behave unexpectedly. In fact, Cybertruck can suddenly swerve even when driving
conditions appear normal and straight-forward. Stay alert and always pay attention to the roadway so you can
anticipate the need to take corrective action as early as possible. Remember that this is an early access feature
that must be used with extra caution.
CAUTION: As Full Self-Driving (Beta) deployment expands, Tesla will gradually make it available to eligible
customers in select countries outside the United States. Because every country contains unique infrastructure,
driving behaviors, and traffic patterns that Full Self-Driving (Beta) must adapt to over time, it is essential for
drivers using Full Self-Driving (Beta) in newly eligible countries to be extra attentive and overly cautious. You
must be ready to take over safely at any time.

Autopark
CAUTION: Autopark's performance depends on the ability of the cameras to determine the vehicle's proximity
to curbs, objects, and other vehicles. Be aware of the following warnings before and while using Autopark:
• Do not use Autopark if anything, such as a ball hitch, bike rack, or trailer, is attached to the tow hitch.
Autopark may not stop for hitches when parking between or in front of other vehicles.
• Never depend on Autopark to find a parking space that is legal, suitable, and safe. Autopark may not always
detect objects in the parking space. Always perform visual checks to confirm that a parking space is
appropriate and safe.
• When Autopark is actively steering Cybertruck, the steering wheel moves in accordance with Autopark's
adjustments. Do not interfere with the movement of the steering wheel. Doing so cancels Autopark.
• During the parking sequence, continually check your surroundings. Be prepared to apply the brakes to
avoid vehicles, pedestrians, or objects.
• When Autopark is active, monitor the touchscreen to ensure that you are aware of the instructions that
Autopark is providing.
CAUTION:
Autopark is particularly unlikely to operate as intended in these situations:
• The road is sloped. Autopark is designed to operate on flat roads only.
• Visibility is poor (due to heavy rain, snow, fog, etc.).
• The curb is constructed of material other than stone, or the curb cannot be detected.
• The target parking space is directly adjacent to a wall or pillar (for example, the last parking space of a row
in an underground parking structure).
• One or more of the cameras is damaged, dirty, or obstructed (such as by mud, ice, or snow, or by a vehicle
bra, excessive paint, or adhesive products such as wraps, stickers, rubber coating, etc.).
• Weather conditions (heavy rain, snow, fog, or extremely hot or cold temperatures) are interfering with
sensor (if equipped) operation.
WARNING: Many unforeseen circumstances can impair Autopark's ability to park Cybertruck. Keep this in mind
and remember that as a result, Autopark may not steer Cybertruck appropriately. Pay attention when parking
Cybertruck and stay prepared to immediately take control.
