Vehicle Hold is currently unavailable due to system constraints. When stopping, use the brake pedal to bring your
vehicle to a complete stop and keep your vehicle stationary.

to drive in the meantime.
For more information, see Vehicle Hold on page 82.
DI_a250
Adaptive ride control disabled
Drive with caution
What this alert means:
The speed of your vehicle is limited to 90 mph (144 km/h) due to an issue with the Adaptive Suspension Damping
system.
The system cannot provide real-time adjustments to the suspension system to optimize both ride and handling, and
as a result your ride may be softer than usual.
What to do:
If this alert persists throughout subsequent drives, schedule service at your earliest convenience. Your vehicle is OK
to drive in the meantime.
This alert is accompanied by a red indicator light on the instrument panel. For more information, see Air Suspension
on page 146.

Assist for low brake performance activated
To stop, keep brake pedal firmly pressed
What this alert means:
Hydraulic Fade Compensation is active. This brake assist function activates temporarily to make sure you have full
braking capability in conditions where reduced braking performance is detected by your vehicle.
When this assist function activates, you may feel the brake pedal pull away from your foot and notice a strong
increase in brake pressure. You may also hear a pumping sound coming from the brake hydraulic unit at the front of
the vehicle. This will usually last for a few seconds, depending on road surface and vehicle speed. This is completely
normal and does not indicate any issue with your vehicle.
What to do:
Continue to press the brake pedal as you normally would, and do not "pump" (repeatedly press and release) the
pedal as this will interrupt the function.
This alert will clear when your vehicle comes to a stop or you are no longer pressing the brake pedal. It may still be
displayed for up to 5 seconds afterward.
Reduced braking performance is usually temporary, and can occur for a number of reasons including high brake
temperatures after heavy brake use, or driving in extremely cold or wet conditions. It can also indicate that your
brake pads or rotors have worn to the point that normal replacement is needed.
If you continue to experience reduced braking performance which does not improve over time, please contact Tesla
service at your convenience for a brake inspection.
For more information, see Hydraulic Fade Compensation on page 76.
Troubleshooting Alerts

PCS_a016
Cannot charge - Poor grid power quality possible
Retry / Try other charge location or Supercharging
What this alert means:
Charging has stopped due to a condition that prevents your vehicle from charging with AC power. DC fast charging /
Supercharging should still function as expected.
This may be due to power supply disturbances caused by the external charging equipment or by the electrical
power grid. In some cases, this condition may be the result of using nearby electric devices that draw a lot of power.
If these possible causes can be ruled out, then a condition with your vehicle itself may also be affecting AC charging.
What to do:
If this alert is accompanied by another alert that specifies the condition affecting AC charging, start by investigating
that alert.
Further troubleshooting tips based on equipment type:

If there is clearly no power to the charging equipment, check the circuit breaker for the wall outlet / Wall Connector
to make sure it has not tripped.
Further troubleshooting tips based on equipment type:

If this alert persists when attempting to charge at multiple locations and with different charging equipment, it is
recommended that you schedule service.
For more information on troubleshooting Mobile Connector or Wall Connector status lights, refer to the product

What to do:
This alert is usually specific to external charging equipment and power sources and does not typically indicate an
issue with your vehicle that can be resolved by scheduling service.
Try charging with multiple, different types of charging equipment.
You can also try charging your vehicle using a Tesla Supercharger or Destination Charging location, all of which can
be located through the map on your vehicle

Charging has been interrupted because the onboard charger in your vehicle has detected an unusually large voltage
drop.
Likely causes of this issue include:
