Using Summon
Note: Summon is a BETA feature. Summon is designed and intended for use only on a private
residential property where the surrounding area is familiar and predictable. When using Summon,
you must continually monitor the vehicle. It is the driver's responsibility to use this feature safely,
responsibly, and as intended.
With Summon, you can move Model S in and out of a parking space from outside the vehicle using
the mobile app or the key. You can also customize Summon to park or retrieve Model S with a
single touch of a button and to initiate parking automatically after you double-press the Park gear
and exit the vehicle. Using data from the ultrasonic sensors, Summon maneuvers Model S forward
or reverse into a parking space. When parking is complete Summon shifts Model S into Park.
Parking is complete when:
• Model S detects an obstacle in its driving path (within a chosen distance);
• Summon has moved Model S the maximum distance of 39 feet (12 meters);
OR
• In the case of reversing, Summon has reached a maximum Summon Distance.
To use Summon:
• FIRST TIME ONLY: Enable Summon and customize how it works (see Customizing Summon on
page 80).
• Position Model S for parking (see Position the Vehicle for Parking on page 81).
• Initiate the parking maneuver using the mobile app, key, or by double-pressing the Park gear.
Detailed instructions for each method are provided below.
You can summon Model S back to its original position if you previously auto parked it and the
vehicle has remained in the Park gear. Then, using the mobile app or key, simply specify the
opposite direction. Summon moves the vehicle along the original path provided the environment
has not changed (i.e. no obstructions have been introduced). If obstacles are detected, Summon
attempts to avoid the obstacles while staying as close as possible to its original path.
To cancel Summon and stop Model S at any time during a parking maneuver, press any button on
the key, use the mobile app, press a door handle, or (if sitting in the vehicle) interact with the
steering wheel, brake pedal, accelerator pedal, or gear stalk.
Note: If you want Summon to move multiple times in the same direction, up to the maximum of 39
feet (12 meters), cancel Summon and then re-initiate the parking process, choosing the same
direction.
Note: Summon can move Model S a short distance laterally to avoid an obstacle but in doing so,
does not return the vehicle to its driving path (i.e. Summon does not attempt to move Model S
around an obstacle).
Warning: Model S cannot detect obstacles that are lower than the fascia, very narrow (i.e.
bicycles), or 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
appropriately steer Model S. Therefore, you must continually monitor the vehicle's movement
and surroundings and remain prepared to stop Model S at any time. To cancel Summon and
stop Model S, press any button on the key, use the mobile app, press a door handle, or (if
sitting in the vehicle), interact with the steering wheel, brake pedal, accelerator pedal, or gear
stalk.
