Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control
Type of Traffic Light
Vehicle Intended Response
Model 3 slows down and comes to a complete stop
at the red stop line shown on the touchscreen. When
you want to proceed through the intersection (for
example, after the light turns green again), you must
press down on the drive stalk or briefly press the
accelerator pedal.
NOTE: If the traffic light changes after you've
confirmed that you want to proceed (for example, a
green traffic light turns yellow), Model 3 may stop
instead of continuing, especially if Model 3
determines that it can safely stop before entering
the intersection.
NOTE: Model 3 is not designed to proceed through
an intersection when the traffic light is red or if the
light turns yellow when there is adequate distance to
safely stop before the intersection.
NOTE: You can take over driving at any time by
manually braking to cancel Autosteer or Traffic-
aware Cruise Control.
Model 3 slows down. To proceed, you must press
down on the drive stalk or briefly press the
accelerator pedal. If you don’t, Model 3 stops at the
red stop line shown on the touchscreen.
NOTE: To prevent Model 3 from stopping and to
minimize how much it slows down as it approaches,
you can confirm that you want to proceed by
pressing down on the drive stalk or pressing the
accelerator pedal at any time after the touchscreen
displays the red stop line. Model 3 resumes your set
cruising speed immediately after you confirm (taking
into consideration whether a vehicle is in front of
you).
WARNING: Approach attentively and be
prepared to press the brake pedal to slow
down or stop.
