- Set Speed: When you engage Traffic-Aware Cruise
Control or Autosteer, choose whether you want the
initial cruising speed set to the Speed Limit or your
Current Speed (see Traffic-Aware Cruise Control).
- Off set: When set to cruise at the speed limit, you can
choose a Fixed off set, in which the speed is adjusted
by a specific number of mph (km/h) on all roads, or a
Percentage off set, in which the speed adjustment
varies depending on the detected speed limit of the
road.
- Blind Spot Camera (if equipped): When ON, the
touchscreen displays the view from the
corresponding side repeater camera whenever you

want the steering wheel to respond if a front wheel
passes over a lane marking when the associated turn
signal is off (see Lane Assist).
- Forward Collision Warning: Choose if and when
Model Y displays visual and audible warnings in
situations when there is a high risk of a frontal
collision (see Collision Avoidance Assist).
- Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance (if equipped):
When enabled, Model Y attempts to prevent a
potential collision with an object in an adjacent lane
by steering the vehicle back into your driving lane in
emergency situations (see Emergency Lane
Departure Avoidance).
- Automatic Emergency Braking: Choose if you want
Model Y to automatically apply braking when a
frontal collision is imminent (see Collision Avoidance
Assist).

acceleration to be automatically reduced in situations
where Model Y is stopped (or moving slowly) and
you accelerate toward a detected obstacle (see

sounds when you engage or cancel Traffic-Aware
Cruise Control.
