Summon (if equipped) allows you to
automatically park and retrieve Model S while
you are standing outside the vehicle. Summon
uses data from the ultrasonic sensors to move
Model S forward and reverse up to 12 meters
in, or out of, a parking space.
To move Model S a longer distance while
steering around objects, you can use Smart
Summon (if equipped) and your mobile
phone. Smart Summon allows your vehicle to
find you (or you can send your vehicle to a
chosen location). See
.
To move Model S, your phone must be paired
via Bluetooth (see
).
CAUTION:
Ensure all cameras and
sensors are clean. Unclean cameras
and sensors, as well as environmental
conditions such as rain and faded lane
markings, can affect Autopilot
performance.
WARNING:
Summon is designed and
intended for use only on parking lots
and driveways on private property
where the surrounding area is familiar
and predictable.
WARNING:
Summon is a BETA feature.
You must continually monitor the
vehicle and its surroundings and stay
prepared to take immediate action at
any time. It is the driver's
responsibility to use Summon safely,
responsibly, and as intended.
WARNING:
Summon's performance
depends on the ability of the
ultrasonic sensors to determine the
vehicle's proximity to objects, people,
animals, and other vehicles.
Before Using Summon
Before operating Summon, use the
touchscreen to enable it and customize how
you want it to work. Touch
Controls
>
Autopilot
>
Summon
, then touch
Customize
and adjust the following settings to suit your
preferences:
•
Bumper Clearance
: Set the distance that
you want Summon to stop from a
detected object (for example, you may
want Summon to stop within just a few
inches of a garage wall). Note that this
distance applies only to objects that
Summon detects directly in front of
Model S when moving forward, or directly
behind Model S when reversing.
•
Summon Distance
: Set a maximum
distance that Model S can travel when
entering or exiting a parking space.
•
Side Clearance
: Choose an option to
specify how much side clearance you
want to allow.
Tight
allows Model S to
enter and exit very narrow parking
spaces.
WARNING:
Parking in a narrow
space limits the ability of the
sensors to accurately detect the
location of obstacles, increasing
the risk of damage to Model S
and/or surrounding objects.
•
Require Continuous Press
: By default,
Summon requires that you press and hold
a button on the mobile app or key to
move Model S during the parking process.
When
Require Continuous Press
is set to
NO
, you can press and release the button
—you don't need to hold it down to keep
the vehicle moving. Also,
Require
Continuous Press
must be set to
NO
if
you want to operate Summon using the
key instead of the mobile app (see
Operating Summon with the Key on page
111
), or if you want to start a parking
sequence from inside the vehicle (see
Starting Summon Before Exiting the
•
Use Auto HomeLink
(if equipped): Set to
ON
if you want to activate HomeLink to
open/close a programmed HomeLink
device (such as a gate or a garage door)
during the parking process when using
Summon. If enabled, the device
automatically opens and closes when
Model S enters or exits during a Summon
session. In a Smart Summon session (if
equipped), the device automatically
opens when, at the beginning of a
session, Smart Summon detects that
Model S is parked in a garage.
WARNING:
Always ensure that
Model S is fully in or out of a
garage before HomeLink lowers
the garage door. Summon and
Smart Summon (if equipped)
cannot detect where an overhead
door will lower.
