Gears
Shifting Gears When Model 3 is in Park, you must press the
brake to shift to another gear.
Move the lever up or down to change gears.
If you try to shift into a gear that the current
driving speed prohibits, a chime sounds and
the gear does not change.
Reverse
Push the lever all the way up and release. You
can only shift into Reverse when Model 3 is stopped or moving less than 5 mph (8 km/h).If moving less than 1 mph (1.6 km/h), you must
press the brake.
Neutral
Push the lever up or down to the first position
and hold it there for more than 1 second to shift into Neutral. Neutral allows Model 3 to
roll freely when you are not pressing the brake
pedal.
If Model 3 is in Park and you use the
touchscreen to release the parking brake
( Controls > Safety & Security ), Model 3 shifts
into Neutral (see Parking Brake on page 61).
Model 3 automatically shifts into Park when
you exit. To leave Model 3 in Neutral, use the touchscreen to engage Transport Mode (see
Instructions for Transporters on page 159).
Drive
Push the lever all the way down and release.
You can shift into Drive when Model 3 is stopped or moving less than 5 mph (8 km/h)
in Reverse. If Model 3 is moving less than 1 mph (1.6 km/h), you must press the brake toshift into Drive.
Note: When in Drive, push the lever all the way
down and release to enable Traffic-Aware
Cruise Control (see Traffic-Aware Cruise
Control on page 73). Push the lever all the
way down twice in quick succession to enable
Autosteer (see Autosteer on page 79).
Park
Press the end of the gear selector while Model
3 is stopped. Whenever Model 3 is in Park, the
parking brake is applied.
Model 3 automatically shifts into Park
whenever you connect a charge cable or if
two or more of the following conditions are
met simultaneously:

Traffic-Aware
Cruise Control
Note: Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is a BETA
feature.
Note: If your vehicle is not equipped with the
optional Enhanced Autopilot or Full Self-
Driving Capability package, refer to the owner

Warning: Traffic-Aware Cruise Control
may be unable to provide adequate
speed control because of limited braking capability and hills. It can also misjudgethe distance from a vehicle ahead. Driving
downhill can increase driving speed, causing Model 3 to exceed your set speed
(and potentially the road

Note: The onboard Global Positioning System
(GPS) determines if you are driving in a region
with right or left hand traffic. In situations
where GPS data is unavailable (for example, if
there is inadequate signal), engaging the turn
signal near an exit does not cause Traffic-
Aware Cruise Control to slow down Model 3.
Adjust the Following Distance To adjust the following distance you want tomaintain between Model 3 and a vehicle
traveling ahead of you, press the steering
wheel

addition to those listed above (for
example, lack of GPS data). Stay alert and
never depend on Overtake Acceleration
to increase your driving speed.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 no longer
active.
Warning: Do not hold the gear lever up
for more than one second. Doing so
cancels Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and
shifts Model 3 into Neutral.
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 off
the accelerator when driving without Traffic-
Aware Cruise Control (see Regenerative
Braking on page 60).
Warning: Traffic-Aware Cruise Control
cancels, or may not be available, in the
following situations:

Summary of Cruise IndicatorsTraffic-Aware Cruise Control is
available but is not actively
controlling your speed until you
activate it. The number shown in
gray is determined by Speed Assist (see Controlling Speed Assist on
page 92).Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is
operating and is either maintaining
the set speed (no vehicle in front) or
is maintaining a chosen following
distance from a vehicle ahead (up to
the set speed).Model 3 has fully stopped but is in a
HOLD state. If safe, press the
accelerator pedal to resume cruising
at the set speed.
Limitations
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is particularly
unlikely to operate as intended in the
following types of situations:
