Owner's Guide

Summon
If you have purchased the optional , 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 12 meters in, or out of, a parking space.
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
accessoryto 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 82), or if
you want to start a parking sequence from
inside the vehicle (see Starting Summon
Before Exiting the Vehicle on page 82).
• 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.
Warning: Always ensure that Model 3
is fully in or out of a garage before
HomeLink lowers the garage door.
Summon cannot detect where an
overhead door will lower.
Note: When enabled, the HomeLink device
automatically opens and closes only when
using Summon. 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
116).
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 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.
