Tesla Model S: Canceling and Resuming
To manually cancel Traffic-Aware Cruise Control, press
the brake pedal or press the right scroll wheel on the
steering yoke.
To resume cruising, press the right scroll button.
NOTE: When Traffic-Aware Cruise Control cancels,
Model S does not coast. Instead, regenerative braking
slows down Model S in the same way as when you move
your foot off the accelerator when driving without
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control (see Regenerative Braking).
WARNING: Traffic-Aware Cruise Control cancels,
or may not be available, in the following situations:
- You press the brake pedal.
- Your driving speed exceeds the maximum cruising
speed of 90 mph (150 km/h).
- You shift Model S.
- A door is opened.
- A camera or sensor is obstructed. This could be
caused by dirt, mud, ice, snow, fog, etc.
- The traction control setting is manually disabled or is
repeatedly engaging to prevent wheels from slipping.
- The wheels are spinning while at a standstill.
- The Traffic-Aware Cruise Control system is failing or
requires service.
When Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is unavailable or
cancels, Model S no longer drives consistently at a set
speed and no longer maintains a specified distance from
the vehicle ahead.
WARNING: Traffic-Aware Cruise Control can cancel
unexpectedly at any time for unforeseen reasons.
Always watch the road in front of you and stay
prepared to take appropriate action. It is the
driver's responsibility to be in control of Model S at
all times.
