NOTE:
Depending on market region, vehicle
configuration, options purchased, and
software version, your vehicle may not be
equipped with Traffic Light and Stop Sign
Control, or the feature may not operate
exactly as described.
NOTE:
Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control is a
BETA feature and works best on roads that
are frequently driven by Tesla vehicles. Traffic
Light and Stop Sign Control attempts to stop
at all traffic lights and may also stop at green
lights.
Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control is
designed to recognize and respond to traffic
lights and stop signs, slowing Model X to a
stop when using Traffic-Aware cruise control
or Autosteer. This feature uses the vehicle's
forward-facing cameras, in addition to GPS
data, and slows the car for all detected traffic
lights, including green, blinking yellow, and off
lights in addition to stop signs and some road
markings. As Model X approaches an
intersection, the instrument panel displays a
notification indicating the intention to slow
down. You must confirm that you want to
continue or Model X stops at the red line
displayed on the instrument panel's driving
visualization.
WARNING:
NEVER make assumptions
and predict when and where Traffic
Light and Stop Sign Control will stop
or continue through an intersection or
road marking. From a driver's
perspective, the behavior of Traffic
Light and Stop Sign Control may
appear inconsistent. Always pay
attention to the roadway and be
prepared to take immediate action. It
is the driver's responsibility to
determine whether to stop or continue
through an intersection. Never depend
on Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control
to determine when it is safe and/or
appropriate to stop or continue
through an intersection.
Before Using
Before using Traffic Light and Stop Sign
Control, you must:
• Ensure that forward-facing cameras are
unobstructed (see
) and calibrated (see
Drive to Calibrate Cameras on page 104
).
Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control
depends on the ability of the cameras to
detect traffic lights, stop signs, and road
markings.
• Ensure that the latest version of maps has
been downloaded to Model X. Although
Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control
primarily uses visual data received from
the vehicle's cameras, greater accuracy is
achieved when using the most recent
map data. To check which version of
maps is currently downloaded, touch

Additional vehicle
information
. You must connect to a Wi-Fi
network to receive updated maps (see
).
• Enable the feature. With the vehicle in
Park, touch

>
Traffic
Light and Stop Sign Control
. Once
enabled, Traffic Light and Stop Sign
Control operates whenever Traffic-Aware
Cruise Control or Autosteer is active.
How it Works
When Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control is
enabled and you are using Autosteer or
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control, the instrument
panel displays a popup message to inform
you that an upcoming traffic light, stop sign,
or road marking has been detected. As it
approaches the stop location, even at an
intersection where the traffic light is green,
Model X slows down and displays a red line to
indicate where Model X will stop. To continue
through the intersection—even if the traffic
light is green —you must briefly press the
accelerator pedal to give the vehicle
permission to proceed. When you've
confirmed that you want to proceed, the red
stop line turns gray and Model X continues
through the intersection and resumes your
set cruising speed.
NOTE:
If Model X is approaching a green light
and detects that a vehicle in front of you is
continuing through the intersection, Model X
continues through the intersection without
requiring your confirmation, provided you are
not in a turning lane and your hands are
detected on the steering yoke.
