Interior Overview
2Model S Owner

Instrument Panel - DrivingWhen Model S is driving (or ready to drive), the instrument panel shows your current drivingstatus and a real-time visualization of the road as detected by the Autopilot components (see
About Autopilot on page 82). The visualization automatically zooms in and out as needed to
inform you when a vehicle is detected in your blind spot.
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.Indicator lights display along the top to provide status (see Instrument Panel Overview on
page 59).
2. When you are actively navigating to a destination, navigation instructions display here. Use
the left steering wheel buttons to change what displays on the left side of the instrument
panel whenever navigation instructions are not displayed (see Using Left Steering Wheel
Buttons on page 47).
3. Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is cruising at a set speed. When Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is

destination and not following the route.Warning: Traffic-Aware Cruise Control
cannot detect all objects and, especially
in situations when you are driving over 80 km/h, may not brake/decelerate when
a vehicle or object is only partially in the
driving lane or when a vehicle you are
following moves out of your driving path and a stationary or slow-moving vehicle
or object is in front of you. Always pay
attention to the road ahead and stay
prepared to take immediate corrective
action. Depending on Traffic-Aware
Cruise Control to avoid a collision can
result in serious injury or death. In
addition, Traffic-Aware Cruise Control
may react to vehicles or objects that
either do not exist or are not in the lane of travel, causing Model S to slow down
unnecessarily or inappropriately.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 S to exceed your set speed

driving lane when cruising at a set speed.
Autosteer also allows you to use the turn
signals to move Model S into an adjacent lane
(see Auto Lane Change on page 93). Using
