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 maximum brake
pressure. This improves steering control during heavy braking in most road conditions.
During emergency braking conditions, the 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 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 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 brakes firm to bring the vehicle to a stop when safe to do so.

The displays this amber brake indicator if a brake booster fault is detected. Apply steady pressure and keep the
brakes firm to stop the vehicle when safety permits. Hydraulic Boost Compensation will be active (see Hydraulic
Boost Compensation on page 38).

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 according to the amount of traction available. This prevents wheels from locking and ensures
that you stop as safely as possible.
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 Collision Avoidance Assist on page 73) may intervene to automatically
brake in situations where a collision is considered imminent. Automatic Emergency Braking is not designed to prevent a
collision. At best, it can 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 to bring
Cybertruck to a stop. Do not use this method to stop the vehicle unless absolutely necessary.
Dynamic Brake Lights (if equipped)

If you are driving over 30 mph (50 km/h) and brake forcefully (or if Automatic Emergency Braking engages), the brake lights
flash quickly to warn other drivers that Cybertruck is rapidly slowing down. If Cybertruck stops completely, the hazard warning
lights flash. Flashing continues until you press the accelerator or manually press the hazard lights button to turn them off
(see ).
NOTE: When towing a trailer (if applicable), the brake lights on the trailer also operate as described above, even when the
trailer is not equipped with a separate braking system.

37

Owner's Manual

Owners Manual
WARNING: When towing a trailer (if applicable), always increase your following distance. Sudden braking may result in
skidding, jack-knifing, and loss of control.
Brake Disc Wiping

To ensure brakes remain responsive in cold and wet weather, Cybertruck is equipped with brake disc wiping. When cold and
wet weather is detected, this feature repeatedly applies an imperceptible amount of brake force to remove water from the
surface of the brake discs.
Hydraulic Fade Compensation

Cybertruck is equipped with hydraulic fade compensation. This 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.
CAUTION: In emergency situations, if the brakes are not functioning properly, press and hold the Park button to bring
Cybertruck to a stop. Do not use this method to stop the vehicle unless absolutely necessary.
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 is not a substitute for adequately applying
the brakes.
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.
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 removing pressure from the accelerator
pedal to slow down, you can take advantage of regenerative braking to increase driving range.
NOTE: If regenerative braking is aggressively slowing Cybertruck (such as when your foot is completely off the accelerator
pedal at highway speeds), the brake lights turn on to alert others that you are slowing down.
NOTE: Because Cybertruck uses regenerative braking, the brake pads are typically used less frequently than those in
traditional braking systems. To avoid the accumulation of rust and corrosion, Tesla recommends frequently pressing the brake
pedal to apply the mechanical brakes and dry the brake pads and rotors.
WARNING: In snowy or icy conditions, Cybertruck may experience loss of traction during regenerative braking.
Parking Brake
To engage the parking brake, touch Controls > Safety > Parking Brake. Follow the onscreen instructions.
Use the touchscreen to manually release the parking brake (which also shifts Cybertruck into Neutral):
1. Touch Controls > Safety.
2. Press the brake pedal, then touch Parking Brake. If Cybertruck was previously in Park, it shifts into Neutral.
When you manually apply the parking brake using the touchscreen, the red parking brake indicator lights up on
the .

Owner's Manual

38

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

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 147).
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 on, 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. To replace the brake pads, contact Tesla Service.
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 139. 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.

Park Assist
How Park Assist Works
This feature may be temporarily limited or inactive until it is enabled with a future software update for vehicles manufactured
as of approximately January 2023.
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).
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 41). 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 (if equipped) 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.
Visual and Audio Feedback
When you shift to Reverse, the Park Assist view displays on the , 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(s) on page 48). 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 (if equipped) 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 (if equipped) 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.
Limitations and False Warnings
Park Assist may not function correctly in these situations:
• One or more of the sensors (if equipped) 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).
41

Owner's Manual

Owners Manual
• 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 (if equipped) are affected by other electrical equipment or devices that generate ultrasonic waves.
• You are driving in a location where the sensors' (if equipped) 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(s) on page 48).

Owner's Manual

Owners Manual
Hill Start Assist
Hill Start Assist automatically engages the brakes for approximately one second when on a hill. This prevents Cybertruck from
rolling during the time it takes for you to move your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal. Hill Start Assist
engages the brakes only if Cybertruck is in Drive and facing uphill, or in Reverse and facing downhill.
WARNING: After approximately one second, Hill Start Assist no longer brakes your vehicle and it could roll. Therefore,
quickly move your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal. Never rely on Hill Start Assist to prevent
Cybertruck from rolling for more than one second. Failure to do so can result in a collision.

43

Owner's Manual

Owners Manual
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, the system 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.
This yellow indicator flashes on the 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. Contact Tesla Service.

WARNING: If the above indicator remains illuminated in situations in which you have not disabled the traction control
system (described next), the traction control system may not be operating correctly. Contact Tesla Service immediately.
WARNING: Traction control cannot prevent collisions caused by driving dangerously or turning too sharply at high
speeds.

Driver Profiles
When you first adjust the driver’s seat, steering wheel position, or exterior side mirrors, the touchscreen prompts you to
create a driver profile to save these adjustments. Your profile also saves various preferences you make while customizing
Cybertruck.
To save your profile settings to the cloud and access them across multiple Tesla vehicles, set up a Tesla Profile (see Using
Tesla Profiles on page 45).
To add a new driver profile, touch the driver profile icon in Controls. Then touch Driver Profile Settings > Add
New Driver, type the driver's name and touch Create Profile. Follow the onscreen instructions to save mirror and
steering wheel position to the driver profile.

Check the Use Easy Entry checkbox if you want to save (or use existing) Easy Entry settings in which the driver's seat and the
steering wheel are automatically adjusted to make it easy to enter and exit Cybertruck.
If you change the position of the driver’s seat, steering wheel, or exterior side mirrors after you have saved or chosen a driver
profile, the touchscreen prompts you to Save the new position or Restore the previously saved position (other settings are
automatically saved). To change a setting without saving or restoring, just ignore the prompt.
To delete a driver profile, touch the driver profile icon in Controls, touch Driver Profile Settings and select the driver profile you
want to remove. Once selected, Delete the driver profile.

Pedestrian Warning System
The Pedestrian Warning System causes Cybertruck to emit sound when driving below approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) or
while driving in reverse. Electric vehicles operate quietly and this sound helps to alert pedestrians of your oncoming vehicle.
The sound, which activates whenever Cybertruck is shifted out of Park, gets louder as speed increases.
WARNING: If sound cannot be heard, pedestrians may not be aware of your oncoming vehicle, which may increase the
likelihood of a collision resulting in serious injury or death. Never rely on the Pedestrian Warning System to make sure
that pedestrians are aware of your vehicle. If the Pedestrian Warning System is not operating, schedule a service

Autopilot
About Autopilot
Autopilot is a suite of advanced driver assistance features that are intended to make driving safer and less stressful. None of
these features make Cybertruck fully autonomous or replace you as the driver. Autopilot features come standard with all new
Tesla vehicles.
Basic Autopilot includes Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and Autosteer.
• Traffic-Aware Cruise Control: Maintains your speed and an adjustable following distance from the vehicle in front of you, if
there is one (see Traffic-Aware Cruise Control on page 324).
• Autosteer: Maintains your speed and distance from a leading vehicle while also intelligently keeping Cybertruck in its lane
(see Autosteer on page 324).
WARNING: Basic Autopilot is a hands-on feature. Keep your hands on the steering wheel at all times and be mindful of
road conditions, surrounding traffic, and other road users (such as pedestrians and cyclists). Always be prepared to take
immediate action. Failure to follow these instructions could cause damage, serious injury, or death.
Enhanced Autopilot includes additional features. Enhanced Autopilot Features are designed to further reduce driver workload
and make common actions, such as changing lanes or parking, easier.
• Auto Lane Change: Moves Cybertruck into an adjacent lane when you engage the turn signal and Autosteer is active (see
Auto Lane Change on page 325).
• Navigate on Autopilot: Actively guides Cybertruck from a highway’s on-ramp to off-ramp, including performing lane
changes, navigating interchanges, automatically engaging the turn signal, and taking the correct exit (see Navigate on
Autopilot on page 325).
• Autopark: Parks Cybertruck, either parallel or perpendicularly (see #unique_181 on page ).
• Summon: Moves Cybertruck forward or backward, even while you’re outside the vehicle. This is useful for parking in tight
parking spots (see #unique_182 on page ).
• Smart Summon: Moves Cybertruck out of a parking space and through more complex environments, maneuvering around
obstacles and other vehicles, to meet you or go to a predetermined target (see #unique_183 on page ).
WARNING: Enhanced Autopilot is a hands-on feature. Keep your hands on the steering wheel at all times and be mindful
of road conditions, surrounding traffic, and other road users (such as pedestrians and cyclists). Always be prepared to
take immediate action. Failure to follow these instructions could cause damage, serious injury or death.
Full Self-Driving Capability includes:
• Traffic Light & Stop Sign Control: Maintains your speed, keeps a following distance, and keeps Cybertruck in its lane while
also slowing down and stopping for traffic lights and stop signs (see Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control on page 53).
• Autosteer on City Streets (Full Self-Driving (Supervised)): Attempts to drive to your destination by following curves in the
road; stopping at and negotiating intersections, stop signs, and roundabouts; making left and right turns; and entering/
exiting highways (see Full Self-Driving (Beta) on page 59).

WARNING: Full Self-Driving Capability is a hands-on feature. Keep your hands on the steering wheel at all times and be
mindful of road conditions, surrounding traffic, and other road users (such as pedestrians and cyclists). Pay attention to
the road at all times and always be prepared to take immediate action. Failure to follow these instructions could cause
damage, serious injury or death.
Autopilot uses the cameras on Cybertruck, which monitor the surrounding area and detect other vehicles, pedestrians, road
markings, and obstacles such as barriers and curbs. There are cameras mounted on the front, rear, left, and right sides of
Cybertruck (see Cameras on page 195).
When Autopilot is engaged, Cybertruck shows a series of escalating warnings reminding you to keep your hands on the wheel
and pay attention to the road. If there is no response, Autopilot disengages and is unavailable for the remainder of the drive.
WARNING: Autopilot is designed for your driving comfort and convenience and is not a collision warning or avoidance
system. It is your responsibility to stay alert, drive safely, and be in control of the vehicle at all times. Never depend on
Autopilot 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.
It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the limitations of Autopilot and be ready to take control at all times. For more
limitations, cautions, and warnings, see Limitations and Warnings on page 63.

Autopilot Conditions
Ensure all cameras are clean and free of obstructions before each drive and before using Autopilot features (see Cleaning a
Camera on page 198). 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 508.
Before you can use Autopilot features, and after some Service visits, you must drive a short distance to calibrate cameras. For
more information, see Drive to Calibrate Cameras on page 199.
In addition, these features may not work as intended when:
• 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)
