Summon
NOTE: Depending on market region, vehicle
configuration, options purchased, and
software version, your vehicle may not be
equipped with Summon.
• 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 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.
• Summon Distance: Set a maximum
distance that Model 3 can travel when
entering or exiting 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 139.
• 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.
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 affect Autopilot
performance.
• 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
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.
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 137), or if
you want to start a parking sequence
from inside the vehicle (see Starting
Summon Before Exiting the Vehicle on
page 137).
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.
• 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.
