Tesla Model S: Summary of Cruise Indicators
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is
available
but is not actively controlling your speed
until you activate it. The number shown in
gray is the cruising speed that will be set
when you engage Traffic-Aware Cruise
Control.
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is
actively
cruising and is either maintaining the set
speed (no vehicle in front) or is
maintaining a chosen following distance
from a vehicle ahead (up to the set speed).
Model S has fully stopped but is
in a HOLD
state. If safe, press the accelerator pedal to
resume cruising at the set speed.
Limitations
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is particularly unlikely to
operate as intended in the following types of situations:
- 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 (fogged over, dirty,
covered by a sticker, etc.).
WARNING: The list above does not represent an
exhaustive list of situations that may interfere with
proper operation of Traffic-Aware Cruise Control.
