Collision Warning can be adversely
affected by road and weather conditions.
Use appropriate caution when driving.Warning: Forward Collision Warning is
designed only to provide visual and
audible alerts. It does not attempt to
apply the brakes or decelerate Model 3.

Obstacle-Aware AccelerationObstacle-Aware Acceleration is designed toreduce the impact of a collision by reducing
motor torque if Model 3 detects an object in
its driving path. For example, Model 3, while
parked in front of a closed garage door with
the Drive gear engaged, detects that you have
pressed hard on the accelerator pedal.
Although Model 3 still accelerates and hits the
garage door, the reduced torque may result in
less damage.
Obstacle-Aware Acceleration is designed to operate only when all of these conditions are
simultaneously met:

Speed Assist
How Speed Assist Works
When the Speed Limit Warning is turned on,
the touchscreen displays a speed limit as determined by GPS data. You can touch this
speed limit sign to automatically change the
set speed to the detected speed limit
(including any offsets that you have set).
Warnings (described later) take effect when
you exceed this limit.
In situations where Speed Assist is unable to
determine a speed limit (for example, speed
limit signs and GPS data are not available at the current location), or if Speed Assist is
uncertain that an acquired speed limit is
accurate (for example, although a speed limit sign was initially detected, some time has
passed before a subsequent sign has been
detected), the touchscreen may not display a
speed limit sign and warnings do not take effect.
If you set the speed limit warning to Display
(see Controlling Speed Assist on page 92)
and exceed the determined speed limit, the
speed limit sign on the touchscreen increases
in size.
If you set the speed limit warning to Chime
(see Controlling Speed Assist on page 92)
and exceed the determined speed limit, the
speed limit sign on the touchscreen increases
in size and Model 3 also sounds a warning
chime.
Note: Speed limit warnings go away after ten
seconds, or when Model 3 slows down below
the specified limit.
Warning:
Do not rely on Speed Assist to
determine the appropriate speed limit ordriving speed. Always drive at a safe
speed based on traffic and road
conditions.

Using the Touchscreen
Controls
Overview
Touch Controls on the bottom corner of the touchscreen to control features and
customize Model 3 to suit your preferences. The Controls window appears over the map. Touch an option on the left side of the window to display the
associated controls and settings. By default, Quick Controls displays for quicker
access to commonly used settings.To close the Controls window, touch the X in the top left corner, touch Controls
again, or swipe down on the window.When an information icon displays beside a specific setting, touch it to display a
popup that provides helpful details about the associated setting.
Note: The following illustrations are for demonstration purposes only. Depending on vehicle
options, software version and market region, the options available may be different.
