Autosteer on City Streets (Full Self-Driving (Supervised))
WARNING: Always remember that Full Self-Driving (Supervised) (also known as Autosteer on City Streets) does not
make CybertruckModel SModel X autonomous and requires a fully attentive driver who is ready to take immediate action
at all times.
WARNING: Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is a hands-on feature. Keep your hands on the steering wheelsteering yoke (or
steering wheel) at all times, be mindful of road conditions and surrounding traffic, and always be prepared to take
immediate action. Failure to follow these instructions could cause damage, serious injury or death. It is your
responsibility to familiarize yourself with the limitations of Full Self-Driving (Supervised) and the situations in which it
may not work as expected.
WARNING: Failure to follow all warnings and instructions can result in property damage, serious injury or death.
CAUTION: Full Self-Driving (Supervised) and its associated functions may not operate as intended and there are
numerous situations in which driver intervention may be needed. Examples include (but are not limited to):
• Interactions with pedestrians, bicyclists, and other road users.
• Unprotected turns with high-speed cross traffic.
• Multi-lane turns.
• Simultaneous lane changes.
• Narrow roads with oncoming cars or double-parked vehicles.
• Rare objects such as trailers, ramps, cargo, open doors, etc. protruding from vehicles.
• Merges onto high-traffic, high-speed roads.
• Debris in the road.

Lane Assist
CybertruckModel SModel X monitors the markers on the lane you are driving in as well as the surrounding areas for the
presence of vehicles or other objects.
NOTE: For vehicles manufactured as of approximately January 2023, Lane Assist does not show visualizations (colored lines
on the instrument clustertouchscreen corresponding to detected objects) when CybertruckModel SModel X is in motion, or
the visualizations may not look exactly as described.
When an object is detected in your blind spot or near the side of CybertruckModel SModel X (such as a vehicle, guard rail,
etc.), the instrument clustertouchscreen displays colored lines radiating from the image of your vehicle. The location of the
lines correspond to the location of the detected object. The color of the lines (white, yellow, orange, or red) represent the
object's proximity to CybertruckModel SModel X, with white being the farthest and red being the closest and requiring your
immediate attention. These colored lines only display when driving between approximately 7 and 85 mph (12 and 140 km/h).
When Autosteer is active, these colored lines also display if driving slower than 7 mph (12 km/h). However, the colored lines do
not display if CybertruckModel SModel X is at a standstill (for example, in heavy traffic).

Corrective steering is applied to keep CybertruckModel SModel X in a safe position if CybertruckModel SModel X 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 X 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 panel displays a series of alerts,
similar to those that are used when driving with Autosteer. If hands are repeatedly not detected CybertruckModel SModel X
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 X 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 X is departing a lane and may collide with a vehicle traveling in the same direction in the adjacent
lane (regardless of the status of the turn signal).
• CybertruckModel SModel X is departing a lane into an oncoming lane, the turn signal is off, and an oncoming vehicle is
detected.
• CybertruckModel SModel X is departing the road and the turn signal is off (for example, very close to the edge of the road

CybertruckModel SModel X is designed to determine the distance from detected objects. When a collision is considered
unavoidable, Automatic Emergency Braking is designed to apply the brakes to reduce the vehicle's speed and therefore, the
severity of the impact. The amount of speed that is reduced depends on many factors, including driving speed and
environment.
When Automatic Emergency Braking applies the brakes, the instrument paneltouchscreen displays a visual warning and
sounds a chime. You may also notice abrupt downward movement of the brake pedal. The brake lights turn on to alert other
road users that you are slowing down.
Emergency braking in progress

Automatic Emergency Braking operates only when driving between approximately 6 mph (10 km/h) and 90 mph (150 km/h).
Automatic Emergency Braking operates only when driving between approximately 5 mph (8 km/h) and 90 mph (150 km/h).
Automatic Emergency Braking operates only when driving between approximately 3 mph (5 km/h) and 124 mph (200 km/h).
Automatic Emergency Braking operates only when driving between approximately 3 mph (5 km/h) and 124 mph (200 km/h).
Automatic Emergency Braking does not apply the brakes, or stops applying the brakes, when:
• You turn the steering wheelsteering yoke (or steering wheel) sharply.
• You press and release the brake pedal while Automatic Emergency Braking is applying the brakes.
• You accelerate hard while Automatic Emergency Braking is applying the brakes.
• The vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle, or pedestrian is no longer detected in the front or rear of the vehicle.
Automatic Emergency Braking is always enabled when you start CybertruckModel SModel X. To disable it for your current
drive, touch Controls > Autopilot > Automatic Emergency Braking. Even if you disable Automatic Emergency Braking, your
vehicle may still apply the brakes after detecting an initial collision to reduce further impact (see Multi-Collision Braking on
page 410).

Owners Manual
NOTE: Automatic Emergency Braking is designed to reduce the impact of frontal collisions only.
NOTE: Automatic Emergency Braking is designed to reduce the impact of frontal and reverse collisions with limited
functionality while in Reverse.
WARNING: It is strongly recommended that you do not disable Automatic Emergency Braking. If you disable it,
CybertruckModel SModel X does not automatically apply the brakes in situations where a collision is considered likely.
WARNING: Automatic Emergency Braking is designed to reduce the severity of an impact. It is not designed to avoid a
collision.
WARNING: Several factors can affect the performance of Automatic Emergency Braking, causing either no braking or
inappropriate or untimely braking, such as when a vehicle is partially in the path of travel or there is road debris. It is the
driver’s responsibility to drive safely and remain in control of the vehicle at all times. Never depend on Automatic
Emergency Braking to avoid or reduce the impact of a collision.
WARNING: Automatic Emergency Braking is not a substitute for maintaining a safe traveling distance between you and
the vehicle in front of you.
WARNING: The brake pedal moves downward abruptly during automatic braking events. Always ensure that the brake
pedal can move freely. Do not place material under or on top of the driver’s floor mat (including an additional mat) and
always ensure that the driver’s floor mat is properly secured. Failure to do so can impede the ability of the brake pedal to
move freely.
Multi-Collision Braking
In addition to Automatic Emergency Braking, CybertruckModel SModel X may apply the brakes to prevent or mitigate a
subsequent impact after an initial collision if airbag deployment is detected. The brakes may be applied regardless of driving
speed.
Obstacle-Aware Acceleration
Obstacle-Aware Acceleration is designed to reduce the impact of a collision by reducing motor torque and in some cases
applying the brakes, if CybertruckModel SModel X detects an object in its driving path. The instrument panel displays a visual
warning and sounds a chime when the brakes are automatically applied. For example, CybertruckModel SModel X, while
parked in front of a closed garage door with Drive engaged, detects that you have pressed hard on the accelerator pedal.
Although CybertruckModel SModel X still accelerates and hits the garage door, the reduced torque may result in less damage.
Obstacle-Aware Acceleration is designed to operate only when all of these conditions are simultaneously met:
• Drive or Reverse is engaged.
• CybertruckModel SModel X is stopped or traveling less than 10 mph (16 km/h).
• CybertruckModel SModel X detects an object in its immediate driving path.
To disable Obstacle-Aware Acceleration, touch Controls > Autopilot > Obstacle-Aware Acceleration.
WARNING: Obstacle-Aware Acceleration is designed to reduce the severity of an impact. It is not designed to avoid a
collision.
WARNING: Obstacle-Aware Acceleration may not limit torque in all situations, such as performing a sharp turn into a
parking space. Several factors, including environmental conditions, distance from an obstacle, and a driver's actions,
can limit, delay, or inhibit Obstacle-Aware Acceleration.
WARNING: Do not rely on Obstacle-Aware Acceleration to control acceleration or to avoid, or limit, the severity of a
collision, and do not attempt to test Obstacle-Aware Acceleration. Doing so can result in serious property damage,
injury, or death.
WARNING: Several factors can affect the performance of Obstacle-Aware Acceleration, causing an inappropriate or
untimely reduction in motor torque and/or undesired braking. It is the driver's responsibility to drive safely and remain in
control of CybertruckModel SModel X at all times.
Limitations and Inaccuracies
Collision Avoidance features cannot always detect all objects, vehicles, bikes, or pedestrians, and you may experience
unnecessary, inaccurate, invalid, or missed warnings for many reasons, particularly if:
• The road has sharp curves.

• Visibility is poor (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 camera or sensor is obstructed (dirty, covered, fogged over, covered by a sticker, etc.).
• 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.
CAUTION: If a fault occurs with a Collision Avoidance Assist feature, CybertruckModel SModel X displays an alert.
Contact Tesla Service.
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
re-enable when Track Mode is turned Off.
WARNING: The limitations previously described do not represent an exhaustive list of situations that may interfere with
proper operation of Collision Avoidance Assist features. These features may fail to provide their intended function for
many other reasons. It is the driver’s responsibility to avoid collisions by staying alert, paying attention, and taking
corrective action as early as possible.

Speed Assist
How Speed Assist Works
CybertruckModel SModel X displays a speed limit on the instrument paneltouchscreen and you can choose if and how you are
warned when you exceed the speed limit. In addition, a blue outline may appear around the speed limit icon to notify that you
are above the speed limit.
Instead of using the detected speed limit, you can base warnings on an arbitrary speed limit that you enter manually.
