Operating 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.
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.
2. Accelerate until you reach your desired
cruising speed.
3. Move the cruise control lever up or down,
then release.
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.
Changing the Cruising Speed
Move the cruise control lever up (increase) or
down (decrease) until your desired speed is
reached.
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.
