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
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y to exceed your set speed (and potentially the road's speed limit).
• Traffic-Aware Cruise Control may occasionally cause CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y 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.

Owner's Manual

1295

Autopilot
• Due to limitations inherent in the onboard GPS (Global Positioning System), you may experience situations in which
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y 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 CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y 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 CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y at all times.

WARNING: Never depend on Autosteer to determine an appropriate driving path.

1296

Owner's Manual

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).
• The sensors (if equipped) are affected by other electrical equipment or devices that generate ultrasonic waves.
• A vehicle is detected in your blind spot when you engage the turn signal.
• CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y 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 CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y appropriately. Always
drive attentively and be prepared to take immediate action.
WARNING: Autosteer is not designed to, and will not, steer CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y 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 CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y 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) or sensors (if
equipped).
• 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 CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y 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.
Owner's Manual

1297

Autopilot
WARNING: The Stop Light and Stop Sign Warning feature does not apply the brakes or decelerate
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y 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.

Active Safety Features
Steering Interventions
Lane Assist provides steering interventions if CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y drifts into (or close to) an adjacent
lane in which an object, such as a vehicle, is detected. In these situations, CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y
automatically steers to a safer position in the driving lane. This steering is applied only when
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y is traveling between 30 and 85 mph (48 and 140 km/h) on major roads with
clearly visible lane markings. When a steering intervention is applied, the instrument paneltouchscreen briefly displays a
warning message.

Lane Departure Warning
Lane Departure Warning alerts you of undesired lane departures by slightly vibrating the steering wheelsteering yoke (or
steering wheel) if a front wheel passes over a lane marking when the associated turn signal is off. To turn this warning on or off,
touch Controls > Autopilot > Lane Departure Warning. Lane Departure Warning is active only when driving between
approximately 40 and 90 mph (64 and 145 km/h).

Lane Departure Avoidance
NOTE: Depending on date of manufacture, software version, and vehicle configuration, your vehicle may not be equipped with
Lane Departure Avoidance, or the feature may not operate exactly as described.
Lane Departure Avoidance is designed to warn you if CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y is drifting out of, or nears
the edge of, your driving lane.
Lane Departure Avoidance operates when driving between 40 and 90 mph (64 and 145 km/h) on roads with clearly visible lane
markings. You can choose if and how you want Lane Departure Warning to operate by touching Controls > Autopilot > Lane
Departure Avoidance and selecting between these options:
• Off: You are not warned of lane departures or potential collisions with a vehicle in an adjacent lane.
• Warning: If a front wheel passes over a lane marking, the steering wheelsteering yoke (or steering wheel) vibrates.the
touchscreen displays a warning.
• Assist: Corrective steering is applied to keep CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y in a safe position if
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y drifts into an adjacent lane or near the edge of the road.
When Lane Departure Avoidance is enabled and Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is active, if CybertruckModel SModel XModel
3Model Y drifts out of the driving lane when the associated turn signal is off, Lane Assist also checks to see whether your
hands are on the steering wheelsteering yoke (or steering wheel). If hands are not detected, the instrument paneltouchscreen
displays a series of alerts, similar to those that are used when driving with Autosteer. If hands are repeatedly not detected
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y gradually slows down to 15 mph (25 km/h) below the detected speed limit, or
below the set cruising speed, and the hazard lights start flashing.
NOTE: Lane Departure Avoidance does not warn you of lane departures, or provide steering interventions, if the associated
turn signal is on, which indicates an intentional lane change.
WARNING: Lane Departure Avoidance is intended to help keep you safe, but it does not work in every situation and does
not replace the need to remain attentive and in control.
WARNING: Keep your hands on the steering wheelsteering yoke (or steering wheel) and drive attentively at all times.
WARNING: Steering interventions are minimal and are not designed to move CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model
Y out of its driving lane. Do not rely on steering interventions to avoid side collisions.

Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance
NOTE: Depending on date of manufacture, software version, and vehicle configuration, your vehicle may not be equipped with
Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance, or the feature may not operate exactly as described.
Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance automatically applies steering to avoid a potential collision in situations where:
• CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y is departing a lane and may collide with a vehicle traveling in the same

and 90 mph (64 and 145 km/h) on a road with clearly visible lane markings, curbs, etc.
WARNING: Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance is not a substitute for attentive driving and sound judgment. Keep your
eyes on the road when driving and never depend on Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance to prevent a collision. Several
factors can reduce or impair performance. Depending on Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance to prevent a potential
collision can result in serious injury or death.

Blind Spot Assist
Automatic Blind Spot Camera
You can turn it on/off by touching Controls > Safety > Automatic Blind Spot CameraControls > Autopilot > Automatic Blind Spot
Camera on the touchscreen.
Once enabled, when the turn signal is engaged, the touchscreen displays the image from the corresponding side repeater
camera. When a vehicle is detected in your blind spot in an adjacent lane, a vertical red bar appears on the image to warn you.
For example, when the left turn signal is engaged and a vehicle is detected, a vertical red bar appears on the left side of the
image. You can move the image to a different location on the touchscreen. To do so, touch and drag the image to the new
location (valid locations are indicated by shaded areas that display when you touch and hold the image).
WARNING: Automatic Blind Spot Camera does not eliminate the need to drive attentively and manually perform shoulder
checks when changing lanes.

If you want a chime to sound when a vehicle is in your blind spot and a possible collision is detected, touch Controls > Safety >
Blind Spot Collision Warning Chime Controls > Autopilot > Blind Spot Collision Warning Chime.
WARNING: Blind Spot Camera does not eliminate the need to drive attentively and manually perform shoulder checks
when changing lanes.
WARNING: Blind Spot Collision Warning Chime cannot detect every collision. It is the driver's responsibility to remain
alert and perform the appropriate shoulder checks when changing lanes.
Blind Spot Indicator
Both front door pillars are equipped with a blind spot indicator in the upper speaker grille. You can enable or disable the
indicators by touching Controls > Lights > Blind Spot Indicator. When a vehicle is detected in your blind spot in an adjacent lane a

Limitations and Inaccuracies
Lane Assist features cannot always detect lane markings and you may experience unnecessary or invalid warnings when:
• Visibility is poor and lane markings are not clearly visible (due to heavy rain, snow, fog, etc.).
• Bright light (such as from oncoming headlights or direct sunlight) is interfering with the view of the camera(s).
• A vehicle in front of CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y is blocking the view of the camera(s).
• The windshield is obstructing the view of the camera(s) (fogged over, dirty, covered by a sticker, etc.).
• Lane markings are excessively worn, have visible previous markings, have been adjusted due to road construction, or are
changing quickly (for example, lanes branching off, crossing over, or merging).
• The road is narrow or winding.
• Objects or landscape features are casting strong shadows on lane markers.
Lane Assist may not provide warnings, or may apply inappropriate warnings, when:
• One or more of the sensors (if equipped), or cameras is damaged, dirty, or obstructed (by mud, ice, or snow, or by a vehicle
bra, excessive paint, or adhesive products such as wraps, stickers, rubber coatings, etc.).
• Weather conditions (heavy rain, snow, fog, or extremely hot or cold temperatures) are interfering with sensor operation.
• The sensors (if equipped) are affected by other electrical equipment or devices that generate ultrasonic waves.
• An object that is mounted to CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y is interfering with and/or obstructing a sensor
(such as a bike rack or a bumper sticker).
In addition, Lane Assist may not steer CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y away from an adjacent vehicle, or may
apply unnecessary or inappropriate steering, in these situations:
• You are driving CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y on sharp corners or on a curve at a relatively high speed.
• Bright light (such as from oncoming headlights or direct sunlight) is interfering with the view of the camera(s).
• You are drifting into another lane but an object (such as a vehicle) is not present.
• A vehicle in another lane cuts in front of you or drifts into your driving lane.
• CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y is not traveling within the speeds at which the Lane Assist feature is designed
to operate.
• One or more of the sensors (if equipped) 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 operation.
• The sensors (if equipped) are affected by other electrical equipment or devices that generate ultrasonic waves.
• An object mounted to CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y (such as a bike rack or a bumper sticker) is interfering
with or obstructing a sensor.
• Visibility is poor and lane markings are not clearly visible (due to heavy rain, snow, fog, etc.).
• Lane markings are excessively worn, have visible previous markings, have been adjusted due to road construction or are
changing quickly (for example, lanes branching off, crossing over, or merging).
CAUTION: Driver assistance features are automatically disabled when Track Mode is On. It is the driver’s responsibility to
drive safely and be in control of the vehicle at all times, including on track. Driver Assistance features automatically reenable when Track Mode is turned Off.
WARNING: The lists above do not represent every possible situation that may interfere with Lane Assist features. There
are many reasons why Lane Assist may not operate as intended. To avoid a collision, stay alert and always pay attention
to the road so you can anticipate the need to take corrective action as early as possible.
