Stop Signs and Road Markings
When driving with Autosteer or Traffic-aware Cruise Control engaged, and Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control
enabled, Model S is designed to respond as follows when approaching intersections controlled by stop signs, stop
lines, or road markings:
Type of Intersection
Vehicle Intended Response
No Traffic Control
Arm of T-junction
Model S assumes the right of way and continues straight without slowing down or
stopping.
End of T-junction
If Model S detects a T-junction based on the map data, Model S slows down and
comes to a complete stop at the red stop line displayed on the instrument panel.
When you want to proceed, you must take over steering and acceleration.
WARNING:
Model S may not stop at a T-junction that does not have a stop sign
or stop line, or if the T-junction is not included in the map data. Drive
attentively and be prepared to stop (when necessary and/or appropriate).
Stop Sign
Model S slows down and comes to a complete stop at the red stop line displayed on
the instrument panel. When you want to proceed through the intersection, you must
briefly press the accelerator pedal.
NOTE:
If you confirm that you want to proceed through an intersection controlled by
a stop sign by briefly pressing the accelerator pedal before Model S has stopped,
your confirmation is ignored. Model S is not designed to proceed through a stop sign
without stopping.
NOTE:
Even when using Autosteer, and even if you have engaged a turn signal, you
must turn the steering yoke yourself (which cancels Autosteer) to complete a turn at
an intersection.
