NOTE: Depending on market region, vehicle
configuration, options purchased, and software version,
your vehicle may not be equipped with Trac-Aware
Cruise Control, or the feature may not operate exactly as
described. If your vehicle is not equipped, refer to the
owner's manual on your vehicle's touchscreen for
instructions on how to use Cruise Control.
NOTE: Trac-Aware Cruise Control is a BETA feature.
Trac-Aware Cruise Control determines when there is a
vehicle in front of you in the same lane. If the area in
front of Model X is clear, Trac-Aware Cruise Control
maintains a set driving speed. When a vehicle is
detected,
Trac-Aware Cruise Control is designed to
slow down Model X as needed to maintain a selected
time-based distance from the vehicle in front, up to the
set speed.
Trac-Aware Cruise Control does not
eliminate the need to watch the road in front of you and
to manually apply the brakes when needed.
Trac-Aware Cruise Control is primarily intended for
driving on dry, straight roads, such as highways.
CAUTION:
Ensure all cameras and sensors (if
equipped) are clean before each drive. Dirty
cameras and sensors, as well as environmental
conditions such as rain and faded lane markings,
can aect Autopilot performance.
WARNING:
Trac-Aware Cruise Control 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 Trac-Aware Cruise
Control to adequately slow down Model X. 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.
WARNING:
Although Trac-Aware Cruise Control
is capable of detecting pedestrians and cyclists,
never depend on Trac-Aware Cruise Control to
adequately slow Model X down for them. 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.
WARNING:
Do not use Trac-Aware Cruise
Control on winding roads with sharp curves, on icy
or slippery road surfaces, or when weather
conditions (such as heavy rain, snow, fog, etc.)
make it inappropriate to drive at a consistent
speed. Trac-Aware Cruise Control does not
adapt driving speed based on road and driving
conditions.
To Use Trac-Aware Cruise Control
To initiate Trac-Aware Cruise Control when no vehicle
is detected ahead of you, you must be driving at least
18 mph (30 km/h), unless certain vehicle and
environmental conditions are met, in which case, you
may be able to initiate it at lower speeds. If a vehicle is
detected ahead of you, you can initiate
Trac-Aware
Cruise Control at any speed, even when stationary,
provided Model X is at least 5 feet (1.5 m) behind the
detected vehicle and certain vehicle and environmental
conditions are met.
NOTE: The maximum cruising speed is 90 mph (150
km/h). It is the driver's responsibility to cruise at a safe
speed based on road conditions and speed limits.
When Trac-Aware Cruise Control is
available but not engaged, the instrument
panel displays the cruising speed in gray.
The number shown represents the cruising
speed that will be set when you engage
Trac-Aware Cruise Control.
When Trac-Aware Cruise Control is
actively cruising at a set cruising speed,
the cruising speed is highlighted with blue
text.
