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 85). 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 58).
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 44).

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

W hen following a vehicle, Traffic-Aware Cruise
Control remains active at low speeds, even
when Model S comes to a full stop. When the
vehicle is moving again, Traffic-Aware Cruise
Control resumes operating at the set speed.

To resume cruising at the current drivingspeed, move the cruise control lever up or
down, then release.
Note: When Traffic-Aware Cruise Control
cancels, Model S does not coast. Instead,
regenerative braking slows down Model S 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 67).
Warning:
