To adjust the following distance between Cybertruck and the vehicle ahead, touch Controls > Autopilot and customize the Cruise Follow Distance, or use the right scroll button on the steering wheel. The closest following distance is 2. Each setting represents a time-based distance to the rear bumper of the vehicle ahead. The touchscreen displays the current setting.
Cybertruck automatically reduces speed when moving faster than vehicles in adjacent lanes. Detected slower vehicles and lane conditions are highlighted on the touchscreen. Press the accelerator to temporarily override this feature.
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control remains active at low speeds, including full stops in heavy traffic. The system may enter a HOLD state when:
The HOLD icon and message appear on the touchscreen. Press the accelerator to resume cruising.
When approaching an off-ramp and using the turn signal, Traffic-Aware Cruise Control slows Cybertruck to exit. If you stay on the highway, it resumes set speed. Speed may adjust in 5 mph (5 km/h) increments to match local Tesla traffic data. Override by pressing the accelerator.
Momentarily engaging the turn signal accelerates Cybertruck up to the set speed, provided:
Acceleration stops when set speed is reached, lane change is too slow, vehicle ahead is too close, or turn signal is disengaged.
Cybertruck warns visually and audibly if likely to run a red light or stop sign. Press the brake to cancel warnings. This feature provides warnings only; it does not stop the vehicle automatically.
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control cancels when:
Upon cancellation, the cruising speed icon turns gray and Cybertruck slows via regenerative braking.
This feature uses forward-facing cameras and GPS to slow Cybertruck for traffic lights and stop signs while using Traffic-Aware Cruise Control or Full Self-Driving (Supervised). You must briefly press the accelerator to proceed through green lights. Cybertruck may stop at green lights if conditions require.
WARNING: Always pay attention to intersections. Never assume Cybertruck can see all traffic lights, stop signs, or road markings. Always be ready to brake or accelerate manually. Misuse can result in injury or death.
