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.
To manually engage the parking brake, touch Controls > Safety > Park Brake. Follow the onscreen instructions. Manually
disengage the parking brake by selecting Park Brake again.

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 484).
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 466. 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.

Driving
Park Assist
Cybertruck is designed to detect the presence of objects. When driving slowly (for example, when parking), the vehicle alerts
you if an object is detected in close proximity of your Cybertruck. The vehicle alerts you when objects are detected in front of
Cybertruck when you are in Drive, and behind Cybertruck when you are in Reverse.
WARNING: You may not be alerted if Cybertruck rolls freely in the opposite direction (for example, Park Assist does not
display an alert if Cybertruck rolls backwards down a hill while in Drive).
NOTE: Park Assist may be disabled when a bicycle is detected, when the tailgate is down, or when Cybertruck is in trailer
mode.
WARNING: Never depend on Park Assist to inform you if an area you are approaching is free of objects and/or people.
Several external factors can reduce the performance of Park Assist, causing either no readings or false readings (see
Limitations and False Warnings on page 42). Therefore, depending on Park Assist to determine if Cybertruck is
approaching an obstruction can result in damage to the vehicle and/or objects, and can potentially cause serious injury.
Always inspect the area with your own eyes. When reversing, perform shoulder checks and use all mirrors. Park assist
does not detect children, pedestrians, bicyclists, animals, or objects that are moving, protruding, located too far above
or below the sensors or cameras, or too close or too far from the sensors or cameras. Park Assist is for guidance
purposes only and is not intended to replace your own direct visual checks. It is not a substitute for careful driving.

Tesla Vision Park Assist
NOTE: Depending on market region, vehicle configuration, options purchased, and software version, your vehicle may not be
equipped with Tesla Vision Park Assist.
Your vehicle uses the cameras mounted on the front, rear, and sides of Cybertruck to create a high-fidelity reproduction of
surrounding objects on the touchscreen.
The colors on the visualization correspond to the distance between Cybertruck and the object shown. Red is closer to
Cybertruck, and yellow is farther from Cybertruck.
You can enable or disable Tesla Vision Park Assist by touching Controls > Autopilot, scrolling to Park Assist, and toggling
between Standard and Tesla Vision.
NOTE: Enabling Tesla Vision Park Assist disables Lane Assist visualizations. For more information, see Lane Assist on page 72.

Visual and Audio Feedback
When you shift to Reverse, the Park Assist view displays on the touchscreen, showing objects that are in close proximity to the
front and rear of Cybertruck. This view closes when you shift into Drive unless an object is detected close to the front of
Cybertruck, in which case the Park Assist view closes automatically when you start driving faster than the speed at which Park
Assist operates. When reversing, visual feedback also displays on the touchscreen (see Rear-Facing Camera on page 201).
You can manually close the park assist view on the touchscreen by touching the X.
When driving at low speeds with the Camera app displayed on the touchscreen, you can switch to the Park Assist view by
touching the button located in the upper left corner of the Camera app screen. This is useful if you need assistance with
parallel parking.
If chimes are turned on (see Controlling Audible Feedback on page 41), an audible beep sounds as you approach an object.
NOTE: If Park Assist is unable to provide feedback, the displays an alert message.
CAUTION: Keep sensors and cameras clean from dirt, debris, snow, and ice. Avoid using a high pressure power washer
on the sensors and cameras, and do not clean a sensor or camera with a sharp or abrasive object that can scratch or
damage its surface.
CAUTION: Do not install accessories or stickers on or near the sensors or cameras.

Controlling Audible Feedback
You can use Park Assist with or without audible feedback. To turn chimes on or off, touch Controls > Safety > Park Assist
Chimes.

Driving
Limitations and False Warnings
Park Assist may not function correctly in these situations:
• One or more of the sensors or 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.).
• The object is located below approximately 8 inches (20 cm) (such as a curb or low barrier).
CAUTION: Shorter objects that are detected (such as curbs or low barriers) can move into a blind spot. Cybertruck
cannot alert you about an object while it is in a blind spot.
• Weather conditions (heavy rain, snow, or fog).
• The object is thin (such as a sign post).
• Park Assist’s operating range has been exceeded.
• The object is sound-absorbing or soft (such as powder snow).
• The object is sloped (such as a sloped embankment).
• Cybertruck has been parked in, or being driven in, extremely hot or cold temperatures.
• The sensors are affected by other electrical equipment or devices that generate ultrasonic waves.
• You are driving in a location where the sensors' waves are deflected away from the vehicle (such as driving next to a wall or
pillar).
• The object is located too close to the bumper.
• A bumper is misaligned or damaged.
• An object that is mounted to Cybertruck is interfering with and/or obstructing Park Assist (such as a bike rack or bumper
sticker).
• Cybertruck rolls freely in the opposite direction you selected (for example, Park Assist does not display an alert if
Cybertruck rolls backwards down a hill while in Drive).

Other Parking Aids
In addition to Park Assist, when shifted into Reverse, the backup camera displays a view of the area behind Cybertruck (see
Rear-Facing Camera on page 201).

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 305.
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.

Owner's Manual

296

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. For more
information on customizing the preferred ride height, see On-Road Modes on page 299.
NOTE: Each ride height is shown in relation to Medium, which is considered to be 0 in. (0 mm).

Very High increases ground clearance and improves approach, breakover, and departure
angles while off-road driving. When the ride height is set to Very High, 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 45).

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 140.

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.
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).

Owner's Manual

298

Driving
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 snow-covered
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 297).
CAUTION: Carefully read all cautions and warnings before driving Cybertruck off road (see Limitations and Warnings on
page 312). 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 307.
• Baja: Optimizes the suspension and traction control of Cybertruck for high speed driving on dirt roads or desert
environments. See Baja on page 307.
• 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 308.
• Trail Assist: Allows you to maintain your speed while driving on a trail. See Trail Assist on page 309.
• Locking Differentials: Engage for more traction while off-roading. See Locking Differentials on page 309.

Using the Off-Road App
WARNING: Only use Off-Road mode in off-road driving scenarios. Off-Road modes change how Cybertruck handles,
accelerates, and decelerates, and is not appropriate for public roads.
Use the Off-Road app, located in the app tray, to conveniently customize and monitor your off-road settings.
After carefully reading the pop-up window, touch Confirm.

In the Off-Road app, customize options such as:
• Off-Road Mode: Choose between Overland and Baja and customize your preferences. See Overland on page 307 and Baja
on page 307 for more information.
• Locking Differentials: Engage or disengage locking differentials. See Locking Differentials on page 309.
• Pitch, Roll: These angles determine how capable the vehicle is of climbing over an obstacle or up an incline.
NOTE: If you are approaching a large obstacle or change in incline, you can set the right ride height to Extract by touching
Controls > Ride Height > Extract. When the ride height is set to Extract, Cybertruck has increased approach, breakover, and
departure angles.
• Wade Mode: See Wade Mode on page 308 for more information.
• Rear Steer: You can set Rear Steer to Off or Auto. Auto allows for a tighter turn radius while driving.
• Light Bar: Enable or disable the light bar, if installed.
• Ride Height: Customize your vehicle's ride height based on terrain and other drive settings. See Suspension on page 297.
NOTE: Cybertruck must be in Park to change the off-road drive modes and settings.
NOTE: Your off-road settings remain for approximately 15 minutes after you exit the vehicle. Always double check to ensure
your off-road settings are as intended prior to driving.

305

Owner's Manual

Off-Roading
CAUTION: The TPMS warning thresholds may be lowered to accommodate different off-road needs. Do not rely solely
on the TPMS warning indicator when in an Off-Road mode or setting, as these thresholds do not comply with Federal
TPMS standards. It is your responsibility to ensure tires are adequately inflated at all times and are inflated back to
normal levels before regular driving on roads.

Before Off-Road Driving
1. Plan your route: Carefully consult maps and weather reports before beginning an off-road expedition and familiarize
yourself with the different types of terrain you may encounter (gravel, sand, mud, snow, etc.). Research trails before setting
out and be aware that weather and environmental conditions can change quickly and unexpectedly. Ensure your vehicle has
ample range for your planned route.
2. Secure passengers and cargo: Wearing a seat belt is required by law. Ensure that all passengers are wearing their seat belts
