Tra…c Light and Stop Sign Control

Tra†c Lights

When driving with Autosteer or Tra…c-Aware Cruise Control engaged, and Tra…c Light and Stop Sign Control

enabled, Model Y is designed to respond as follows when approaching intersections controlled by a tra…c light:

Type of Tra…c Light

Vehicle Intended Response

At a solid green tra…c light, or at a tra…c light that is currently off (not

illuminated), Model Y slows down.

If you are following a car in front of you that continues through the intersection,

the touchscreen displays a green stop line and provided your hands are detected

on the steering wheel, Model Y also continues. If a car is not in front of you, the

touchscreen displays a red stop line and you must confirm that you want to

continue through the intersection by pressing down on the drive stalk or briefly

pressing the accelerator pedal. If you don’t confirm, Model Y stops at the red stop

line.

NOTE: Model Y resumes the set cruising speed when it continues through the

intersection, taking into consideration the speed of a vehicle in front of you.

Model Y slows down and comes to a complete stop at the red stop line displayed

on the touchscreen. When you want to continue through the intersection (for

example, the light turns green again, or once Model Y has come to a complete

stop), you must press down on the drive stalk or briefly press the accelerator

pedal.

Model Y slows down and comes to a complete stop at the red stop line displayed

on the touchscreen. When you want to proceed through the intersection (for

example, the light turns green again), you must press down on the drive stalk or

briefly press the accelerator pedal.

NOTE: If the tra…c light changes after you've confirmed that you want to proceed

(for example, a green tra…c light turns yellow), Model Y may stop instead of

continuing, especially if Model Y determines that it can safely stop before entering

the intersection.

NOTE: Model Y is not designed to proceed through an intersection when the tra…c

light is red or if the light turns yellow in situations when there is adequate distance

to safely stop before entering the intersection.

NOTE: You can take over driving at any time by manually braking to cancel

Autosteer or Tra…c-aware Cruise Control.

Vehicle Intended Response

Model Y slows down. To proceed, you must press down on the drive stalk or briefly

press the accelerator pedal. If you don’t, Model Y stops at the red stop line

displayed on the touchscreen.

NOTE: To prevent Model Y from stopping, and to minimize how much it slows

down as it approaches, you can confirm that you want to proceed by pressing

down on the drive stalk or briefly pressing the accelerator pedal at any time after

the touchscreen displays the red stop line. Model Y resumes your set cruising

speed immediately after you confirm (taking into consideration the speed of a

vehicle in front of you).

WARNING: Approach attentively and be prepared to press the brake pedal to

slow down or stop.

Model Y slows down and comes to a complete stop at the red stop line displayed

on the touchscreen. When you want to proceed through the intersection (for

example, tra…c laws and conditions indicate it is safe and legal to proceed), you

must press down on the drive stalk or briefly press the accelerator pedal.

Tra…c Light and Stop Sign Control

Stop Signs and Road Markings

When driving with Autosteer or Tra…c-aware Cruise Control engaged, and Tra…c Light and Stop Sign Control

enabled, Model Y is designed to respond as follows when approaching intersections controlled by stop signs, stop

lines, or road markings:

Type of Intersection

Vehicle Intended Response

Model Y assumes the right of way and continues straight without slowing down or

stopping.

No Tra…c Control

Arm of T-junction

If Model Y detects a T-junction based on the map data, Model Y slows down and

comes to a complete stop at the red stop line displayed on the touchscreen. When

you want to proceed, you must take over steering and acceleration.

WARNING: Model Y may not stop at a T-junction that does not have a stop

sign or stop line, or if the T-junction is not included in the map data. Drive

attentively and be prepared to stop (when necessary and/or appropriate).

End of T-junction

Model Y slows down and comes to a complete stop at the red stop line displayed on

the touchscreen. When you want to proceed through the intersection, you must

press down on the drive stalk or briefly press the accelerator pedal.

NOTE: If you confirm that you want to proceed through an intersection controlled by

a stop sign by pressing down on the drive stalk or briefly pressing the accelerator

pedal before Model Y has stopped, your confirmation is ignored. Model Y is not

designed to proceed through a stop sign without stopping.

NOTE: Even when using Autosteer, and even if you have engaged a turn signal, you

must turn the steering wheel yourself (which cancels Autosteer) to complete a turn

at an intersection.

WARNING: Model Y also slows down and stops at a roundabout. You must take over steering (which cancels

Autosteer) and press down on the drive stalk or briefly press the accelerator pedal to confirm that you want to

continue through the roundabout.

WARNING: At crosswalks, Model Y may slow down and may stop, depending on whether the crosswalk is

controlled by a tra…c light and whether the cameras detect pedestrians, bicyclists, etc. in the crosswalk. Pay

particular attention at crosswalks and be prepared to take over at any time. Failure to do so can result in injury

or death.

Limitations

Depending on many different circumstances and environmental conditions, Tra…c Light and Stop Sign Control may

or may not stop at:

• Railroad crossings.

• Keep-out zones.

• Toll booths.

• Crosswalk systems.

• Yield signs or temporary tra…c lights and stop signs (such as at construction areas).

• Miscellaneous tra…c U-turn lights, bicycle and pedestrian crossing lights, lane availability lights, etc.

In addition, Tra…c Light and Stop Sign Control is particularly unlikely to operate as intended, can disengage, or may

not operate, when one or more of the following conditions are present:

• Driving through consecutive light-controlled intersections that are very close to each other.

• Visibility is poor (heavy rain, snow, fog, etc.) or weather conditions are interfering with camera or sensor

operation.

your vehicle may not be equipped with Autopark.

When driving, follow these steps to allow Autopark to

maneuver Model Y into a parking space:

Autopark uses data to simplify parking on public roads

by maneuvering Model Y into parallel and perpendicular

parking spaces.

1. While driving slowly on a public road, monitor the

performance.

WARNING: Autopark's performance depends on

the ability of the cameras and ultrasonic sensors (if

equipped) to determine the vehicle's proximity to

curbs, objects, and other vehicles.

WARNING: Do not use Autopark if anything, such

as a ball hitch, bike rack, or trailer, is attached to

the tow hitch. Autopark may not stop for hitches

when parking between or in front of other vehicles.

Parameters

instructions that Autopark is providing.

To Pause Parking

To pause Autopark, press the brake pedal once. Model Y

stops and remains stopped until you touch Resume on

the touchscreen.

To Cancel Parking

Autopark cancels the parking sequence when you

manually move the steering wheel, shift, or touch Cancel

on the touchscreen. Autopark also cancels parking

when:

• The parking sequence exceeds seven moves.

• Model Y detects that the driver is exiting the vehicle.

• A door is opened.

• You press the accelerator pedal.

• You press the brake pedal while Autopark is paused.

• An Automatic Emergency Braking event occurs (see

Collision Avoidance Assist on page 119).

Limitations

Autopark is particularly unlikely to operate as intended

in these situations:

• The road is sloped. Autopark is designed to operate

on flat roads only.

• Visibility is poor (due to heavy rain, snow, fog, etc.).

• The curb is constructed of material other than stone,

or the curb cannot be detected.

• The target parking space is directly adjacent to a wall

or pillar (for example, the last parking space of a row

in an underground parking structure).

• One or more of the ultrasonic sensors (if equipped)

or cameras 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.

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 ultrasonic 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.

occasionally wiping the camera lens with a clean cloth.

CAUTION: Do not use chemical-based or abrasive

cleaners. Doing so can damage the surface of the

camera lens.

The cabin camera can determine driver inattentiveness

and provide you with audible alerts, to remind you to

keep your eyes on the road when Autopilot is engaged.

By default, images and video from the camera do not

leave the vehicle itself and are not transmitted to

anyone, including Tesla, unless you enable data sharing.

If you enable data sharing and a safety critical event

occurs (such as a collision), Model Y shares short cabin

camera video clips with Tesla to help us develop future

safety enhancements and continuously improve the

intelligence of features that rely on the cabin camera.

Data may also be shared if diagnostics are required on
