Cruise Control
Operating Cruise Control
Changing the Cruising Speed
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) until your desired speed is
reached.
You must be driving over 17 mph (27 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:
1.
When driving over 17 mph (27 km/h),
touch the end of the cruise control lever.
The light on the lever turns on.
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 17 mph
(27
km/h), cruise control cancels and the set
speed clears.
2.
3.
Accelerate until you reach your desired
cruising speed.
Move the cruise control lever up or down,
then release.
Canceling and Resuming
Cruise control cancels automatically if you do
either of the following:
•
•
•
Press the brake.
Drive below 17 mph (27 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.
The instrument panel displays the Cruise On
message above the speedometer and a white
arrow on the speedometer shows your set
speed.
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.
To resume cruising at the previously set
speed, briefly pull the cruise control lever
toward you. Cruise control resumes only if
driving over 17 mph (27 km/h).
