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.
USA:
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.
Canada:
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.
USA:
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.
Canada:
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 285).
USA:
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 285).
Canada:
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.

Owner's Manual

284

Driving
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 74) 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.
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 306).
The power meter (a thin vertical line next to the drive mode strip) displays real-time power usage:

285

Owner's Manual

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.
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.

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 473).
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 455. 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 297.
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

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.

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 135.

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).
