Before Using Smart Summon
• Download the latest version of the Tesla
mobile app to your phone, and ensure
your phone has cellular service and GPS
enabled.
• Your phone must be connected to Model
Y and located within approximately 213
feet (65 meters).
• The vehicle's Autopilot cameras must be
fully calibrated (see Drive to Calibrate
Cameras on page 83).
• You must have a clear line of sight to
Model Y.
• Model Y must be in Park, not charging,
and all doors and trunks must be closed.
Using Smart Summon
1. Open the Tesla mobile app, and press
SUMMON.
2. Press the Smart Summon icon located in
the center of the image of your Model Y. It
may take several seconds for Smart
Summon to start up.
Note: You can use Standby Mode to
eliminate the delay that occurs when
Smart Summon is starting up (see
Standby Mode on page 105).
The mobile app displays a map with a blue
circle, which represents the maximum
proximity of 213 feet (65 meters) that you
must maintain between your phone and
Model Y. The blue dot on the map
represents your location, and the red
arrow represents the location of Model Y.
3. Position yourself anywhere within the blue
circle where you have a clear line of sight
to Model Y.
4. You can now operate Smart Summon
using either of these modes:
• COME TO ME mode: Press and hold
the COME TO ME button. Model Y
moves to your GPS location. As you
move, Model Y follows you. When
Model Y reaches you, it stops and
shifts into park.
•
GO TO TARGET mode: Touch the
crosshair icon then drag the map to
position the pin on a chosen
destination. Press and hold the GO TO
TARGET button. Model Y moves to
the destination. When reaching the
location, Model Y stops and shifts into
Park and the mobile app displays a
message indicating that Summon has
completed.
Note: To subsequently change the
location, lift your finger, reposition the
map, then press and hold GO TO
TARGET again.
To stop Model Y at any time, simply
release the COME TO ME or GO TO
TARGET button.
The map's crosshair icon toggles
between GO TO TARGET and COME
TO ME modes. When COME TO ME
mode is selected, the icon is blue.
Note: The map also has an icon that
allows you to display/hide satellite
imagery.
Immediately after initiating Smart Summon in
either mode, hazard lights briefly flash, mirrors
fold, and Model Y shifts into the appropriate
driving gear (Drive or Reverse). Model Y then
slowly moves to within 3 feet (1 meter) of you
(COME TO ME) or your chosen destination
(GO TO TARGET), navigating obstacles as
needed. As Model Y moves, the corresponding
red arrow on the map also moves to show the
vehicle’s location. As you move, the
corresponding blue dot also moves to show
your location.
In either mode, Model Y stops moving and
shifts into park when:
• You release the button on the mobile app.
• The maximum proximity of 213 feet (65
meters) between your phone and Model Y
is exceeded (if moving Model Y to a
destination away from you, you may need
to follow the car to maintain this
distance).
• The driving path is blocked.
