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 104). 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 Y 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 Y:
• Align Model Y within 39 feet (12 meters)
of the parking space so Model Y can
follow a straight path into or out of the
space in either Drive or Reverse.
• 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 102).
Summon shifts Model Y 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 Y into Park.
Summon shifts Model Y into Park when:
• Model Y detects an obstacle in its driving
path (within the Bumper Clearance setting
that you specified).
• Summon has moved Model Y the
maximum distance of 39 feet (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 Y, you can
then use Summon to return Model Y 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 39 feet (12 meters), cancel Summon and
then restart the parking process using the
same direction.
Note: Although Summon can move Model Y 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
Y.
Note: Summon requires that Model Y can
detect a valid key nearby.
Note: Summon requires that Model Y can
detect an authenticated phone nearby
(Canada only).
Warning:
Model Y 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 Y
appropriately. Therefore, you must
continually monitor the vehicle's
movement and its surroundings and
remain prepared to stop Model Y at any
time.
Operating Summon with the Key
Note: Using the key to operate Summon is
available only in the United States.
Note: Summon may not operate if the key fob
accessory's battery is low.
Follow these steps to park Model Y from
outside the vehicle using the key fob
accessory:
