Electronic stability control systems are
actively minimizing wheel spin by
controlling brake pressure and motor
power (indicator
flashes). See Traction
Control on page 51. If this indicator
stays illuminated, a fault is detected
(contact Tesla immediately).
Electronic stability control systems are
no longer minimizing wheel spin. See
Traction Control on page 51.Vehicle Hold is actively applying the
brakes. See Vehicle Hold on page

Driving Status
When Model 3 is driving (or ready to drive),
the touchscreen shows your current driving
status and a real-time visualization of the road
as detected by the Autopilot components (see About Autopilot on page 58).
Note: The following illustration is provided for
demonstration purposes only. Depending on vehicle options, software version, and market
region, the information displayed may be
slightly
different.
1. Driving speed.
2. On the energy bar, black (or white in night
brightness) represents energy being used
during acceleration and green indicates
energy being gained through regenerative
braking. A dashed line appears on the
energy bar when power available for
acceleration or power that can be gained
by regenerative braking is being limited. Model 3 limits power for many reasons.
Here are just a few examples:

To briefly flash the high beam headlights, pull
the lever towards you and release.
The following indicator lights are visible on the
touchscreen to show the status of the
headlights:
Low beam headlights are on.High beam headlights are on.
Headlights After Exit
When you stop driving and park Model 3 in
low lighting conditions, the exterior lights
automatically turn on. They automatically turn
off after one minute or when you lock Model 3.
To turn this feature on or
off, touch Controls >
Lights > Settings > Headlights after Exit .
When Headlights After Exit is turned
off,headlights turn off when you engage the Park
gear.
Headlight Adjustments You can adjust the angle of the headlights toaccommodate the load you are carrying. For
example, in situations when you are carrying a
significant amount of weight in the rear trunk,
you may need to lower the angle of the
headlights to avoid creating glare for other
drivers. To adjust the headlights, touch
Controls > Service > Adjust Headlights , then
follow the onscreen instructions. You can
choose which headlight you would like to adjust by selecting it on the touchscreen.
Warning: Proceed with caution when
adjusting headlights. Tesla has carefully
calibrated the position of the headlights
to be in an optimum position for most
driving scenarios. Tesla recommends that
you do not adjust headlights unless you
are familiar with how headlights should
be adjusted. Once adjusted, you will be
unable to automatically restore them to their originally calibrated position.
Contact Tesla for assistance when
adjusting headlights.
Turn Signals
The turn signals
flash three times or
continuously, depending on how far up or
down you move the lever. Lightly push the
turn signal lever up or down for a
three-flashsequence. For a continuous signal, push the lever fully up or down.
The turn signals stop operating when canceled
by the steering wheel or after moving the
lever in the opposite direction.
The corresponding turn signal
indicator lights up on the
touchscreen when a turn signal is
operating. You also hear a clicking
sound.Warning: If you have purchased the
optional Enhanced Autopilot or Full Self-
Driving Capability packages and
Traffic-
Aware Cruise Control is active, engaging
a turn signal can cause Model 3 to accelerate when using
Traffic-AwareCruise Control in specific situations (see
Overtake Acceleration on page 64). If is
active, engaging a turn signal may cause

Model 3 to change lanes (see Auto Lane
Change on page 70).
Hazard Warning Flashers
To turn on the hazard warning
flashers, press
the button located above the rear view mirror.
All turn signals
flash. Press the button again to
turn off the hazard warning flashers.
Note: Hazard warning flashers operate even
when Model 3 cannot detect a key
(authenticated phone or key card).

(whichever is greater) when you move the
gear lever fully down once then release.
Note: If Speed Assist is unable to determine a
speed limit, your set speed does not change
when you move the gear lever fully down once
then release.Warning: Do not rely on Speed Assist orTraffic-Aware Cruise Control to determine
an accurate or appropriate cruising
speed. Always cruise at a safe speed
based on road conditions and applicable
speed limits.
Changing the Set Speed
To change the set speed while using
Traffic-
Aware Cruise Control, roll the right scroll
wheel up (to increase) or down (to decrease)
the set speed until your desired set speed is
displayed. Slowly rolling the scroll wheel changes the set speed in 1 mph (1 km/h)
increments and quickly rolling the scroll wheel
changes the set speed to the closest 5 mph (5
km/h) increment.
You can also use the touchscreen to change
the set speed by touching the plus ( +) or
minus ( -) next to the displayed set speed. A
quick tap changes the set speed by 1 mph (1
km/h) and a press and hold changes the set
speed to the closest 5 mph (5 km/h)
increment. To increase/decrease to the next
increment, you must release the plus ( +) or
minus ( -) then press it again.
To cruise at the speed limit that is currently
being determined by Speed Assist (including
any
offsets that you have set), move the gear
lever fully down once then release. See Speed
Assist on page 79.
Note: It may take a few seconds for Model 3 to
reach the new cruising speed, assuming Model
3 does not detect a vehicle ahead driving
slower than your set speed.
Overtake Acceleration
When following a vehicle with
Traffic-AwareCruise Control active, briefly engaging the
turn signal (to indicate a move into the
passing lane) accelerates Model 3 towards the vehicle ahead. By momentarily holding theturn signal lever up or down, you can quickly
accelerate up to your set speed without having to press the accelerator pedal. The turn
signal accelerates only when the following
conditions are met:

Warning: Overtake Acceleration increases
your driving speed whenever the
appropriate turn signal is engaged, and
accelerates Model 3 closer to the vehicle
ahead. Although
Traffic-Aware Cruise
Control continues to maintain distance
from the vehicle ahead, it is important to be aware that your selected following
distance is reduced when Overtake
Acceleration is active, particularly in cases
where it may not be your intention to overtake the vehicle you are following.
Canceling and Resuming
To manually cancel
Traffic-Aware Cruise
Control, move the gear lever up and release or
press the brake pedal. The speedometer icon
on the touchscreen turns gray to indicate that
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is not actively
controlling your speed.
Note: If you hold the gear lever upward for
more than 1 second, Model 3 shifts into Neutral
after canceling
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control.
To re-enable cruising at the current driving
speed, move the gear lever fully down once then release.
Note: When Traffic-Aware Cruise Control
cancels, Model 3 does not coast. Instead,
regenerative braking slows down Model 3 in
the same way as when you move your foot offthe accelerator when driving without Traffic-
Aware Cruise Control (see Regenerative
Braking on page 49).
Warning: Traffic-Aware Cruise Control
cancels, or may not be available, in the
following situations:

Note: Auto Lane Change moves Model 3 one
lane at a time. Moving into an additional lane
requires you to engage the turn signal a second time after the
first lane change is
complete.
Warning: If Auto Lane Change aborts
during a lane change (for example, Auto
Lane Change cannot detect the outside
of the target lane midway through the
lane change), Model 3 returns to its
original driving lane.
When Auto Lane Change is active, it is
important to monitor its performance by
watching the driving path in front of you and
the surrounding area. Stay prepared to take
over steering at any time. As you are crossing
over into the adjacent lane, the touchscreen
displays the lane marking as a dashed blue line. Once in your new lane, lane markings are
displayed as solid blue lines again.
In situations where Auto Lane Change is
unable to operate at optimal performance, or
cannot operate due to inadequate data, the
touchscreen displays a series of warnings.
Therefore, when using Auto Lane Change,
always pay attention to the touchscreen and
be prepared to manually steer Model 3.
Warning: When Auto Lane Change is
actively steering Model 3, the steering
wheel moves accordingly. Any
significantrestriction of or force on the steering
wheel
