Tesla Model Y: Controlling Speed Assist
To adjust the Speed Limit Warning setting, touch
Controls > Autopilot > Speed Limit Warning, then
choose one of these options:
- Off - Speed limit warnings do not display and chimes
are not sounded.
- Display - Speed limit signs display on the instrument
panel and the sign increases in size when you exceed
the determined limit.
- Chime - In addition to the visual display, a chime is
sounded when you exceed the determined speed
limit.
You can also specify how the speed limit is determined:
- Relative - You can set a speed limit off set (+ or -) if
you want to be alerted only when you exceed the
off set speed limit by a specified amount. For
example, you can increase the off set to +10 mph (10
km/h) if you only want to be warned when you
exceed the speed limit by 10 mph (10 km/h).
- Absolute - Manually specify any speed limit between
20 and 140 mph (30 and 240 km/h).
NOTE: Speed Assist is not always accurate. In some
situations, the location of a road can be miscalculated
and Speed Assist can display a speed for a directly
adjacent road that may have a different speed limit. For
example, Speed Assist can assume Model Y is on a
controlled-access highway when it is actually on a
nearby surface street, and vice versa.
NOTE: Your chosen setting is retained until you manually
change it.
