Braking and Stopping
Braking Systems
WARNING: Properly functioning braking systems are critical to ensure safety. If you experience a problem with
the brake pedal, brake calipers, or any component of a Cybertruck braking system, contact Tesla immediately.
Cybertruck has an anti-lock braking system (ABS) that prevents the wheels from locking when you apply brake
pressure. This improves steering control during heavy braking in most road conditions because ABS constantly
monitors the speed of each wheel and varies the brake pressure according to the grip available.
The alteration of brake pressure can be felt as a pulsing sensation through the brake pedal. This demonstrates that
the ABS is operating and is not a cause for concern. Keep firm and steady pressure on the brake pedal while
experiencing the pulsing.
The ABS indicator briefly flashes amber on the touchscreen when you first start Cybertruck. If this
indicator lights up at any other time, an ABS fault has occurred and the ABS is not operating. Contact
Tesla. The braking system remains fully operational and is not affected by an ABS failure. However,
braking distances may increase. Drive cautiously and avoid heavy braking.

If the touchscreen displays this red brake indicator at any time other than briefly when you first start
Cybertruck, a brake system fault is detected, or the level of the brake fluid is low. Contact Tesla
immediately. Apply steady pressure and keep the brake pedal firmly pressed to stop the vehicle when
safe to do so.

The touchscreen displays this amber brake indicator if a brake booster fault is detected. Apply steady
pressure and keep the brake pedal firmly pressed to stop the vehicle when safe to do so. Hydraulic
Boost Compensation will be active (see Hydraulic Boost Compensation on page 118).

Emergency Braking
In an emergency, fully press the brake pedal and maintain firm pressure, even on low traction surfaces. The ABS
varies the braking pressure to each wheel depending on the amount of traction available. This prevents wheels from
locking and ensures that you stop as safely as possible.
If an alternative method is needed to bring the vehicle to a stop, press and hold the Park button on the
touchscreen's drive mode strip to apply the brakes and remove drive torque while the button is held. Touch Controls
or press the brake pedal to display the drive mode strip.
WARNING: Do not pump the brake pedal. Doing so interrupts operation of the ABS and can increase braking
distance.
WARNING: Always maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you and be aware of hazardous driving
conditions. While the ABS can improve stopping distance, it cannot overcome the laws of physics. It also does
not prevent the danger of hydroplaning (where a layer of water prevents direct contact between the tires and
the road).
CAUTION: Automatic Emergency Braking (see Automatic Emergency Braking on page 182) may intervene to
automatically brake in situations where a collision is considered imminent. Automatic Emergency Braking is not
designed to prevent a collision. It is designed to minimize the impact of a frontal collision by attempting to
reduce your driving speed. Depending on Automatic Emergency Braking to avoid a collision can result in
serious injury or death.
CAUTION: In emergency situations, if the brakes are not functioning properly, press and hold the Park button
on the overhead console or touchscreen to bring Cybertruck to a stop. Do not use this method to stop the
vehicle unless absolutely necessary.

Owner's Manual

Driving
Brake Disc Wiping
When cold and wet weather is detected, brake disc wiping repeatedly applies an imperceptible amount of brake
force to remove water from the surface of the brake discs.
Hydraulic Boost Compensation
Cybertruck is equipped with a brake booster that activates the brakes when the brake pedal is pressed. Hydraulic
boost compensation provides mechanical assistance if the brake booster fails. If a brake booster failure is detected,
the brake pedal feels stiffer to press and you may hear a sound when you press the brake pedal. To stop Cybertruck,
apply steady force to the brake pedal without releasing or pumping. Drive cautiously and maintain a safe distance
from other road users—brake pedal responsiveness and braking performance may be degraded.
Hydraulic Fade Compensation
Hydraulic fade compensation assists in monitoring brake system pressure and ABS activity for instances of reduced
brake performance. If reduced brake performance is detected (for example, as a result of brake fade, or cold or wet
conditions), you may hear a sound, feel the brake pedal pull away from your foot, and notice a strong increase in
braking. Brake as you normally would and continue to press the brake pedal without releasing or pumping the
brakes.
WARNING: Always maintain a safe driving distance from the vehicle in front of you and exercise caution when
driving conditions are hazardous. Brake disc wiping and hydraulic fade compensation are NOT substitutes for
adequately applying the brakes.

Regenerative Braking
Whenever Cybertruck is moving and your foot is off the accelerator, regenerative braking slows down the vehicle
and feeds any surplus power back to the Battery. By anticipating your stops and reducing or relieving pressure from
the accelerator pedal to slow down, you can take advantage of regenerative braking to increase driving range.
Vehicle deceleration due to regenerative braking may vary depending on the current state of the Battery. For
example, regenerative braking may be limited if the Battery is cold or is already fully charged.
To experience the same amount of deceleration whenever you release the accelerator pedal, regardless of the state
of the Battery, you can choose to have the regular braking system automatically engage whenever regenerative
braking is limited. Touch Controls > Dynamics > Apply Brakes When Regenerative Braking is Limited. When
enabled, the brake pedal may move or feel stiffer when pressed. This is expected and does not change your ability to
slow down Cybertruck.
NOTE: Apply Brakes When Regenerative Braking is Limited may not operate if the brakes are extremely hot.
NOTE: Apply Brakes When Regenerative Braking is Limited is not available when Trailer Mode is engaged (see
Towing a Trailer on page 138).
The power meter (a thin vertical line next to the drive mode strip) displays real-time power usage:

Owner's Manual

118

Driving

1. Shows power being output by the Battery, such as that used to accelerate the vehicle or to cool the cabin. When
you press the accelerator pedal, the top half of the power meter fills with black (or white if the display is dark).
2. Represents power generated from regenerative braking, or power that captured from slowing down the vehicle.
Power being fed back to the Battery displays in green whereas power used by the regular braking system displays
in gray.
NOTE: Installing winter tires with aggressive compound and tread design may result in temporarily-reduced
regenerative braking power. However, your vehicle is designed to continuously recalibrate itself, and after changing
tires it will increasingly restore regenerative braking power after some straight-line accelerations. For most drivers
this occurs after a short period of normal driving, but drivers who normally accelerate lightly may need to use
slightly harder accelerations while the recalibration is in progress.
NOTE: If regenerative braking is aggressively slowing Cybertruck (such as when your foot is completely off the
accelerator pedal at highway speeds), the exterior brake lights turn on to alert others that you are slowing down.
WARNING: In snowy or icy conditions, Cybertruck may experience loss of traction during regenerative braking.

Vehicle Hold
When Cybertruck is stopped, Vehicle Hold can continue to apply the brakes even after you remove your foot from
the brake pedal and is automatically enabled any time the vehicle comes to a complete stop.
This indicator displays on the touchscreen whenever Vehicle Hold is actively holding Cybertruck while
stopped.

To disengage Vehicle Hold, press the accelerator or brake pedal, or shift into Neutral.
NOTE: After actively braking Cybertruck for approximately ten minutes, Cybertruck shifts into Park and Vehicle Hold
cancels. The parking brake is still applied. Cybertruck also shifts into Park if it detects that the driver has left the
vehicle.

Parking Brake
The parking brake is automatically engaged when in Park, and automatically disengages when shifted out of Park.

119

Owner's Manual

Driving
To manually engage the parking brake, touch Controls > Safety > Parking Brake. Follow the onscreen instructions.
Manually disengage the parking brake by selecting Parking Brake again.
When you manually apply the parking brake using the touchscreen, the red parking brake indicator
lights up on the touchscreen.

If the parking brake experiences an electrical issue, the amber parking brake indicator lights up and a
fault message displays on the touchscreen.

NOTE: The parking brake operates on the rear wheels only, and is independent of the pedal-operated brake system.
CAUTION: In the unlikely event that Cybertruck loses electrical power, you cannot access the touchscreen and
are therefore unable to release the parking brake without first jump starting (see Jump Starting on page 292).
WARNING: In snowy or icy conditions the rear wheels may not have sufficient traction to prevent Cybertruck
from sliding down a slope, particularly if not using winter tires. Avoid parking on hills in snowy or icy
conditions. You are always responsible for parking safely.
WARNING: Your Cybertruck may display an alert if the road is too steep to safely park, or if the parking brakes
are not properly engaged. These alerts are for guidance purposes only and are not a substitute for the driver’s
judgment of safe parking conditions, including specific road or weather conditions. Do not depend on these
alerts to determine whether or not it is safe to park at any location. You are always responsible for parking
safely.

Brake Wear
Cybertruck brake pads are equipped with wear indicators. A wear indicator is a thin metal strip attached to the
brake pad that squeals as it rubs against the rotor when the pad wears down. This squealing sound indicates that the
brake pads have reached the end of their service life and require replacement.
Brakes must be periodically inspected visually by removing the tire and wheel. For detailed specifications and
service limits for rotors and brake pads, see Subsystems on page 280. Additionally, Tesla recommends cleaning and
lubricating the brake calipers every year or 12,500 miles (20,000 km) if in an area where roads are salted during
winter months.
WARNING: Neglecting to replace worn brake pads damages the braking system and can result in a braking
hazard.

Owner's Manual

Driving
Traction Control
How It Works
The traction control system constantly monitors the speed of the front and rear wheels. If Cybertruck experiences a
loss of traction, your vehicle minimizes wheel spin by controlling brake pressure and motor power. By default, the
traction control system is on. Under normal conditions, it should remain on to ensure maximum safety.
NOTE: When Cybertruck is in an Off-Road Drive Mode, the traction control system may be disabled or operate
differently. For more information about customizing the traction control system while driving off road, see Off-Road
Driving on page 130.
This yellow indicator flashes on the touchscreen whenever the traction control system is actively
controlling brake pressure and motor power to minimize wheel spin. If the indicator stays on, a fault is
detected with the traction control system. Use the mobile app to schedule a service appointment.

WARNING: Traction control cannot prevent collisions caused by driving dangerously or turning too sharply at
high speeds.

Slippery Surfaces
Your vehicle can distribute traction evenly across all tires to provide more traction and stability during slippery
conditions, such as rain, snow, or ice. To enable, go to Controls > Dynamics > Slippery Surface.
NOTE: Even when this setting is Off, Cybertruck continuously detects characteristics of the current driving surface
and automatically adapts Traction Control.

121

Owner's Manual

Driving
Suspension
Cybertruck is equipped with adaptive air suspension that offers superior ride quality, balances comfort with range
and performance, and maintains a level height between the front and rear axles.
You can manually adjust the ride height to suit your circumstances. For example, you can raise Cybertruck when you
need extra ground clearance (such as when driving on a steep driveway or ramp, in deep snow, over large speed
bumps, parking curbs, etc.) or temporarily lower Cybertruck when you need extra space above the vehicle (such as
in a parking garage) or to increase handling and range.
NOTE: When Cybertruck starts, you may hear the sound of the compressor as the air suspension system’s reservoir
fills with air.
CAUTION: Before adjusting the ride height, ensure Cybertruck is clear of all obstacles, above and below.
You can adjust the ride height by touching Controls. The available ride height settings depend on your driving speed
and other conditions, such as the current drive mode. You can also adjust the ride height by touching Ride Height on
the exterior view of Cybertruck in the vehicle status area of the touchscreen when Cybertruck is parked.
NOTE: When you change the ride height from Controls, it will automatically lower or raise to the preferred ride
height again once your driving speed exceeds 25 mph (40 km/h).
If a fault is detected that reduces the performance of the adaptive air suspension system, a yellow
indicator lights up on the touchscreen. If the problem persists, use the mobile app to schedule a service
appointment.

If a fault is detected that disables the adaptive air suspension system, a red indicator lights up on the
touchscreen. Use the mobile app to schedule a service appointment.

Ride Height Settings - On-Road
The following ride height settings are meant for day-to-day driving when Cybertruck is in an on-road drive mode.

vehicle speed is limited to 25 mph (40 km/h). The ride height automatically resets
to High when your driving speed exceeds 25 mph (40 km/h).

High increases ground clearance to suit general off-road driving at both low and
high speeds.

Auto Lower
To make it easier to get into Cybertruck, enable Auto Lower (Controls > Dynamics > Auto Lower). Once enabled,
your vehicle automatically adjusts to the Entry ride height whenever your vehicle shifts into Park.
The suspension automatically raises back to your preferred ride height when you resume driving.
CAUTION: When Auto Lower is enabled and you are parking Cybertruck, ensure that there are no obstacles
underneath the vehicle that may contact the underbody when the suspension lowers.
NOTE: Auto Lower is not available while in Off-Road Mode.
NOTE: You can also make it easier to enter and exit Cybertruck by enabling Easy Entry. When Easy Entry is enabled,
the steering wheel and driver's seat adjust automatically when the vehicle is in Park to allow more room for entering
or exiting the vehicle (see Easy Entry on page 126).

Self-Leveling
To prevent damage when jacking or lifting the vehicle, you must activate Jack Mode to disable self-leveling. For
more details, see Jack Mode on page 263.

Auto-Raising Locations
Whenever you raise the suspension, your vehicle saves the suspension setting based on the location. By saving the
location, you do not need to manually raise the suspension every time you arrive at a frequently-used location where
you have previously raised the suspension. When you return to the saved location, Cybertruck raises the suspension
and the touchscreen displays a message indicating that the suspension is adjusting.

123

Owner's Manual

Driving
When returning to a saved location and driving faster than the suspension settings allow, the suspension does not
adjust until the vehicle slows down. For example, if you set the suspension to always raise on a particular street to
account for speed bumps, but you are traveling at more than 25 mph (40 km/h) when you reach that location, the
ride height is not raised until your speed falls below 25 mph (40 km/h).
If Cybertruck reaches a saved location and the existing suspension setting is already higher than the level that has
been saved for that location, the ride height is not adjusted. After leaving a saved location, the suspension
automatically lowers to the preferred ride height. However, it may not lower until your vehicle meets the speed and
distance threshold at which the suspension lowers.
NOTE: Cybertruck may not raise the suspension in a saved location where connectivity is poor (for example, in an
underground parking garage).
To remove an auto-raising location
If no longer want the suspension to automatically raise at a location, touch to deselect Always raise at this location
in the popup that appears when you arrive at a saved location.

Off-Roading
Off-Road Driving
Off-road driving is driving your vehicle on an unpaved surface such as sand, silt, dirt, or mud, or on rocky or snowcovered surfaces. When Cybertruck is in Off-Road Mode, you have access to settings and drive modes that allow you
to manage steep ascents, descents, uneven terrain, shallow creeks, and other obstacles you may encounter.
The Off-Road app provides greater control over traction, stability, acceleration, and braking. Various modes and
settings also allow you to quickly adjust the ride height of Cybertruck (see Suspension on page 122).
CAUTION: Carefully read all cautions and warnings before driving Cybertruck off road (see Limitations and
Warnings on page 137). Always pay close attention and monitor the area to the front, rear, and sides of
Cybertruck for obstacles while off-road driving.
CAUTION: Any damage caused by off-road driving is not covered by the warranty.
Off-Road Modes and settings include the following:
• Overland: Maximizes traction on various terrains at low speeds. See Overland on page 131.
• Baja: Optimizes the suspension and traction control of Cybertruck for high speed driving on dirt roads or desert
environments. See Baja on page 132.
• Wade Mode: Raises the suspension and pressurizes the high voltage Battery to protect your vehicle from water
and debris while navigating shallow bodies of water. See Wade Mode on page 133.
• Trail Assist: Allows you to maintain your speed while driving on a trail. See Trail Assist on page 134.
• Locking Differentials: Engage for more traction while off-roading. See Locking Differentials on page 134.
