NOTE:
When enabled, the HomeLink
device automatically opens and closes
when using Summon, and automatically
opens as needed when using Smart
Summon (if equipped). To automate
HomeLink in other situations (such as
normal driving), you must adjust the
HomeLink device's main settings by
touching the HomeLink icon at the top of
the touchscreen (see
NOTE:
The above settings, with the exception
of HomeLink, apply only to Summon—not
Smart Summon, if equipped (see
Using Smart Summon on page 113
). You
cannot customize Smart Summon's bumper
clearance, distance, and side clearance. And
when using Smart Summon, you must always
hold down the button on the mobile app to
keep Model S moving. Also, Smart Summon
operates with the mobile app only—not the
key.
NOTE:
All settings are retained until you
manually change them.
Using Summon to Park and
Retrieve your Vehicle
Follow these steps to use Summon to park
your Model S:
• Align Model S within 12 meters of the
parking space so Model S can follow a
straight path into or out of the space in
either Drive or Reverse.
• Ensure Model S key fob is in close range.
• Pair your phone with Model S via
Bluetooth (see
). After you pair once, your
phone automatically connects to Model S
every time. Your phone must be within
approximately six meters of the vehicle
for Summon to work.
• From outside the vehicle, initiate the
parking maneuver by touching
Summon
on the mobile app, then holding down the
FORWARD
or
REVERSE
button.
NOTE:
If the
Require Continuous Press
setting is
NO
, you do not need to hold
down the button, just press and release.
NOTE:
You can also initiate the parking
maneuver from inside the vehicle (see
Starting Summon Before Exiting the
Vehicle on page 111
).
Summon shifts Model S into Drive or Reverse
(based on the direction you specified) and
drives into or out of the parking space. When
parking is complete, or if an obstacle is
detected, Summon shifts Model S into Park.
Summon shifts Model S into Park when:
• Model S detects an obstacle in its driving
path (within the
Bumper Clearance
setting that you specified).
• Summon has moved Model S the
maximum distance of 12 meters.
• You release the
FORWARD
or
REVERSE
button (when Require Continuous Press is
turned on).
• You press any button to manually stop
Summon.
If you used Summon to park Model S, you can
then use Summon to return Model S back to
its original position (provided the vehicle has
remained in Park), or to the maximum
Summon Distance
that you have specified
(whichever comes first). Simply specify the
opposite direction on the mobile app and
Summon moves the vehicle along the original
path, provided no obstructions have been
introduced. If the ultrasonic sensors detect an
obstacle, Summon attempts to avoid the
obstacle while staying very close to its
original path (Summon does not steer around
obstacles).
NOTE:
To move Summon multiple times in the
same direction (not to exceed the maximum
of 12 meters, cancel Summon and then restart
the parking process using the same direction.
NOTE:
Although Summon can move Model S
a short distance laterally to avoid an obstacle,
it does not attempt to steer around an
obstacle to return the vehicle to its original
driving path. Only Smart Summon (if
equipped) can steer the vehicle around
objects.
NOTE:
If you release the direction button on
the mobile app, Summon stops moving
Model S.
NOTE:
Summon requires that Model S can
detect a valid key nearby.
