Owner's Guide

• 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 82).
Summon shifts Model 3 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 3 into Park.
Summon shifts Model 3 into Park when:
• Model 3 detects an obstacle in its driving
path (within the Bumper Clearance setting
that you specified).
• Summon has moved Model 3 the
maximum distance of 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 3, you can
then use Summon to return Model 3 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 12 meters, cancel Summon and then restart
the parking process using the same direction.
Note: Although Summon can move Model 3 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.
Note: Summon requires that Model 3 can
detect a valid key nearby.
Note: Summon requires that Model 3 can
detect an authenticated phone nearby.
Warning:
Model 3 cannot detect
obstacles that are located lower than the
bumper, are very narrow (i.e. bicycles), or
are hanging from a ceiling. 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 3
appropriately. Therefore, you must
continually monitor the vehicle's
movement and its surroundings and
remain prepared to stop Model 3 at any
time.
Operating Summon with the Key
Note: Summon may not operate if the key fob
accessory's battery is low.
Follow these steps to park Model 3 from
outside the vehicle using the key fob
accessory:
1. On the touchscreen, ensure that Require
Continuous Press is disabled (touch
Controls > Autopilot > Summon > Require
Continuous Press > NO).
2. With Model 3 in Park, stand within 3
meters and press and hold the top center
button on the key fob accessory (Lock/
Unlock All button) until the hazard lights
blink continuously.
Note: The hazard lights flash once as
Model 3 locks, then within five seconds,
Model 3 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 fob accessory, move closer to
Model 3, and try again. If Summon
receives no further input within ten
seconds, Summon cancels.
3. Press the Front Trunk button on the key
fob accessory to move Model 3 forward
into the parking space, or press the Rear
Trunk button to reverse Model 3 into the
parking space.
Starting Summon Before Exiting the Vehicle
To start a Summon parking sequence before
exiting Model 3:
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.
