NOTE: Dynamic brake lights will not flash
while Track Mode is enabled (see Track Mode
on page 86 ).
NOTE: If towing a trailer, the brake lights on
the trailer also operate as described above,
even when the trailer is not equipped with a
separate braking system.
WARNING: When towing a trailer,
always increase your following
distance. Sudden braking may result in
skidding, jack-knifing, and loss of
control.
Brake Disc Wiping
Model 3 is equipped with brake disc wiping,
which automatically assists in maintaining
brake responsiveness in cold and wet weather
conditions. When such conditions are
detected, brake disc wiping repeatedly
applies an imperceptible amount of brake
force to clear away water on the brake disc
surface. This ensures your brakes are
responsive even during poor weather
conditions.
Hydraulic Fade Compensation
Your vehicle is also equipped with hydraulic
fade compensation. This assists in monitoring
brake system pressure and ABS activity for
instances of lower brake performance. If lower
brake performance is detected (as a result of
brake fade, or cold or wet conditions, for
example), you may feel the brake pedal pull
away from your foot, detect some noise, and
notice a strong increase in vehicle braking.
Continue to press the brake pedal without
releasing or "pumping" them— just brake as
you normally would.
CAUTION: If the brakes are not
functioning properly, stop the vehicle
as soon as safety permits and contact
Tesla Service. See
Park on page 66 for
information on using the Park button
to stop the vehicle in case of
emergency.
WARNING: Always maintain a safe
driving distance from the vehicle in
front of you and be cautious in
hazardous driving conditions. Do not
rely on brake disc wiping or hydraulic
fade compensation to act as a
substitute for adequate braking.
Regenerative Braking
Whenever Model 3 is moving and your foot is
off the accelerator, regenerative braking slows
down Model 3 and feeds any surplus energy
back to the Battery.
By anticipating your stops and reducing or
removing pressure from the accelerator pedal
to slow down, you can take advantage of
regenerative braking to increase driving
range. Of course, this is no substitute for
regular braking when needed for safety.
NOTE: If regenerative braking is aggressively
slowing Model 3 (such as when your foot is
completely off the accelerator pedal at
highway speeds), the brake lights turn on to
alert others that you are slowing down.
NOTE: Installing winter tires with aggressive
compound and tread design may result in
temporarily-reduced regenerative braking
power. However, your vehicle is designed to
continuously recalibrate itself, and after
changing tires it will increasingly restore
regenerative braking power after some
moderate-torque straight-line accelerations.
For most drivers this occurs after a short
period of normal driving, but drivers who
normally accelerate lightly may need to use
slightly harder accelerations while the
recalibration is in progress.
WARNING: In snowy or icy conditions
Model 3 may experience traction loss
during regenerative braking,
particularly when in the
Standard
setting and/or not using winter tires.
Tesla recommends using the Low
setting (see To Set the Regenerative
Braking Level on page 79 ) in snowy
or icy conditions to help maintain
vehicle stability.
The amount of energy fed back to the Battery
using regenerative braking can depend on the
current state of the Battery and the charge
level setting that you are using. For example,
regenerative braking may be limited if the
Battery is already fully charged or if the
ambient temperature is too cold.
NOTE: If regenerative braking is limited, a
dashed line displays on the energy bar (see
Driving Status on page 74 ).
