WARNING:
Model S cannot detect
obstacles that are located lower than
the bumper, are very narrow, or are
hanging from a ceiling (for example,
bicycles). In addition, many
unforeseen circumstances can impair
Summon's ability to move in or out of
a parking space and, as a result,
Summon may not move Model S
appropriately. Therefore, you must
continually monitor the vehicle's
movement and its surroundings and
remain prepared to stop Model S at
any time.
Operating Summon with the Key
NOTE:
Summon may not operate if the key's
battery is low.
Follow these steps to park Model S from
outside the vehicle using the key:
1. On the touchscreen, ensure that
Require
Continuous Press
is disabled (touch
Controls
>
Autopilot
>
Summon
>
Require Continuous Press
>
NO
).
2. With Model S in Park, stand within 3
meters and press and hold the top center
button on the key (Lock/Unlock All
button) until the hazard lights blink
continuously.
NOTE:
The hazard lights flash once as
Model S locks, then within five seconds,
Model S powers on and the hazard lights
flash continuously. Do not proceed to the
next step until the hazard lights are
flashing. If, after five seconds, the hazard
lights are not flashing, release the button
on the key, move closer to Model S, and
try again. If Summon receives no further
input within ten seconds, Summon
cancels.
3. Press the Front Trunk button on the key
to move Model S forward into the parking
space, or press the Rear Trunk button to
reverse Model S into the parking space.
Starting Summon Before Exiting the
Vehicle
To start a Summon parking sequence before
exiting Model S:
1. On the touchscreen, ensure that
Require
Continuous Press
is disabled (touch
Controls
>
Autopilot
>
Summon
>
Require Continuous Press
>
NO
).
2. Close all doors and trunks.
3. With Model S powered on and the Park
gear engaged, double press the Park
button on the gear stalk. The touchscreen
displays a popup window.
4. On the touchscreen, choose the direction
of travel.
5. Exit Model S and close the driver's door.
Summon now moves Model S according to
the direction you specified on the
touchscreen.
NOTE:
To cancel the parking maneuver before
exiting, touch
Cancel
on the popup window.
NOTE:
If you do not choose a direction of
travel on the touchscreen, Summon does not
start a parking maneuver when you exit.
Stopping or Canceling Summon
You can stop Model S at any time while
Summon is active by using the mobile app or
by pressing any button on the key. Summon
also cancels when:
• A door handle is engaged or a door is
opened.
• You interact with the steering wheel,
brake pedal, accelerator pedal, or gear
stalk.
• Model S detects an obstacle.
• Summon has moved Model S the
maximum distance of approximately 12
meters.
• Your phone enters sleep mode or loses
connectivity to Model S.
Limitations
Summon is unlikely to operate as intended in
the following types of situations:
• The driving path is sloped. Summon is
designed to operate on flat roads only
(up to 10% grade).
