Following the regulatory approval of Full Self-Driving (Supervised) in the Netherlands, Tesla is introducing a new prerequisite for drivers. Before taking the advanced driver assistance system out on European roads for the first time, Dutch owners will now be required to pass a mandatory safety quiz in the vehicle.
This new FSD (Supervised) Activation Tutorial is designed to ensure that every driver fully understands the capabilities and the strict limitations of the software before it is ever engaged.
Inside the Activation Tutorial
Seen in a video shared by Tesla Europe, the mandatory quiz pops up directly on your vehicle’s primary display when you attempt to activate FSD for the first time.
The tutorial is concise but highly targeted, currently featuring a simple two-question quiz that owners must complete and submit. However, most importantly, it carefully explains what each button does while you’re on FSD.

Based on the initial rollout, the quiz focuses on two critical areas of understanding. The first is for visual identification of when FSD is running. The first question asks the driver to "Select the image where FSD (Supervised) is active." It presents two side-by-side UI visualizations.
One shows standard lane lines, while the correct option clearly displays the blue steering wheel icon and the solid blue path projecting out from the vehicle. This ensures the driver knows exactly when the car is in control versus when it is in a standby state.
FSD controls and UI haven’t always been clear. We’ve noted before that Tesla should provide a clear banner across the top when FSD is active, however, this helps drivers at least know what to look for to determine whether FSD is active.
The second is for driver accountability, asking, "Are you responsible for safe vehicle operation while FSD (Supervised) is active?" Drivers must explicitly select "Yes" to proceed.
Satisfying Regulatory Requirements
While a two-question quiz might seem simple, it is a required step for Tesla. The European Union has incredibly strict safety frameworks, and the Netherlands approval was granted under the UN R-171 Level 2 DCAS (Driver Control Assistance Systems) regulation.
A core component of Level 2 systems is that the human driver remains the ultimate authority and bears full responsibility for the vehicle's actions. By forcing a mandatory, on-screen acknowledgment of this responsibility, Tesla is proactively proving to regulators that it is taking driver education seriously.
It explicitly reinforces the "Supervised" moniker that Tesla added to the FSD’s full title, helping mitigate the risk of driver complacency as the system rolls out to a brand new continent of users.
