Owner's Guide

Changing the Set Speed
To change the set speed while using Trac-
Aware Cruise Control, roll the right scroll
wheel up (to increase) or down (to decrease)
the set speed until your desired set speed is
displayed. Slowly rolling the scroll wheel
changes the set speed in 1 km/h increments
and quickly rolling the scroll wheel changes
the set speed to the closest 5 km/h increment.
You can also use the touchscreen to change
the set speed by touching the plus (+) or
minus (-) next to the displayed set speed. A
quick tap changes the set speed by 1 km/h
and a press and hold changes the set speed to
the closest 5 km/h increment. To increase/
decrease to the next increment, you must
release the plus (+) or minus (-) then press it
again.
Note: It may take a few seconds for Model 3 to
reach the new cruising speed, assuming Model
3 does not detect a vehicle ahead driving
slower than your set speed.
HOLD State
When following a vehicle, Trac-Aware Cruise
Control remains active at low speeds, even
when Model 3 comes to a full stop. When the
vehicle is moving again, Trac-Aware Cruise
Control resumes operating at the set speed.
However, under the following circumstances,
Trac-Aware Cruise Control goes into a HOLD
state, in which case, you need to briefly press
the accelerator pedal to resume cruising.
When the HOLD status is active, the
touchscreen displays the HOLD icon and a
message that indicates that you need to
resume cruise control. The following
circumstances can cause Trac-Aware Cruise
Control to go into the HOLD state:
• Model 3 has been at a standstill for 5
minutes.
• Model 3 detects a pedestrian (the HOLD
state may clear when the pedestrian is no
longer detected).
• Model 3 suddenly loses visibility of the
vehicle in front of you.
• The ultrasonic sensors detect an obstacle
in front of Model 3.
Cruising Near or On Freeway Exits
When cruising near an exit on a controlled
access road (such as a highway or freeway)
and engaging the turn signal toward the exit,
Trac-Aware Cruise Control assumes you are
exiting and begins to slow down the vehicle. If
you do not drive onto the exit, Trac-Aware
Cruise Control resumes cruising at the set
speed. In a region with right hand trac, this
occurs only when you engage the right turn
signal when driving in the right-most lane
within 50 meters of an exit. Likewise in regions
with left hand trac; when engaging the left
turn signal when driving in the left-most lane
within 50 meters of an exit.
Note: The onboard Global Positioning System
(GPS) determines if you are driving in a region
with right or left hand trac. In situations
where GPS data is unavailable (for example, if
there is inadequate signal), engaging the turn
signal near an exit does not cause Trac-
Aware Cruise Control to slow down Model 3.
