Cruise Control
Cruise control makes it easy for you to maintain
a consistent speed without holding your foot
on the accelerator. This is useful when driving at
the same speed over a long distance.
Move the cruise control lever up (increase) or
down (decrease).
You must be driving over 32 km/h to operate
cruise control.
WARNING: Do not use cruise control on
winding or slippery road surfaces, or
when traffic conditions make it unsafe to drive
at a consistent speed.
To operate cruise control:
•
•
•
Push the lever up/down to the first position
and release to increase/decrease speed by
1.
When driving over 32 km/h, touch the end
of the cruise control lever. The light on the
lever turns on.
1
mph.
Push the lever up/down to the second
position and release to increase/decrease
speed by 8 km/h.
Hold the lever up or down to
increase/decrease the speed in 3 km/h
increments until your desired speed is
reached.
2.
3.
Accelerate until you reach your desired
cruising speed.
Move the cruise control lever up or down,
then release.
NOTE: It may take a few seconds for Model S to
reach the new cruising speed. If you decrease
the set speed to less than 32 km/h, cruise
control cancels and the set speed clears.
Canceling and Resuming
Cruise control cancels automatically if you:
•
•
•
Press the brake.
The instrument panel displays the Cruise On
message above the speedometer and a white
arrow on the speedometer shows your set
speed.
Drive below 32 km/h.
Shift out of Drive.
To cancel cruise control manually, briefly push
the cruise control lever away from you. The
message on the instrument panel turns off, but
the set speed remains displayed until Model S
powers off.
To resume cruising at the previously set speed,
briefly pull the cruise control lever toward you.
Cruise control resumes only if driving over 32
km/h.
You can accelerate at any time when driving at
a set speed in cruise control. But when you
release the accelerator, your speed returns to
the set speed.
WARNING: Driving downhill can increase
driving speed, causing Model S to exceed
your set speed.
