Tesla Model 3 - Summon

NOTE: Depending on market region, vehicle
configuration, options purchased, and software version,
your vehicle may not be equipped with Summon.
Summon allows you to automatically park and retrieve
Model 3 while you are standing outside the vehicle.
Summon uses data from the ultrasonic sensors to move
Model 3 forward and reverse up to 39 feet (12 meters) in,
or out of, a parking space.
To move Model 3 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 Smart Summon on
page 107.
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 aect 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 3 when moving forward, or directly
behind Model 3 when reversing.
• Summon Distance: Set a maximum distance that
Model 3 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 3 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 3 and/or surrounding objects.
• Require Continuous Press
: By default, Summon
requires that you press and hold a button on the
mobile app or the key fob accessory to move Model 3
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 fob accessory instead of the
mobile app (see Operating Summon with the Key on
page 105), or if you want to start a parking sequence
from inside the vehicle (see Starting Summon Before
Exiting the Vehicle on page 105).
• 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 3 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 3 is parked in a garage.
WARNING:
Always ensure that Model 3 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.
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 HomeLink Universal Transceiver on
page 145).
NOTE: The above settings, with the exception of
HomeLink, apply only to Summon—not Smart Summon,
if equipped (see
Before Using Smart Summon on page
107). 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 3 moving. Also, Smart
Summon operates with the mobile app only—not the key
fob accessory.
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 3:
• Align Model 3 within 39 feet (12 meters) of the
parking space so Model 3 can follow a straight path
into or out of the space in either Drive or Reverse.
