Tesla Model S: Before Using Summon
Before operating Summon, use the touchscreen to
enable it and customize how you want it to work. Touch
Controls > Autopilot > Customize Summon 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 S when moving forward, or directly
behind Model S when reversing.
- Summon Distance: Set a maximum distance that
Model S 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 S 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 S and/or surrounding objects.
- Require Continuous Press: By default, Summon
requires that you press and hold a button on the
mobile app to move Model S 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,
when Require Continuous Press is set to No, you can
operate Summon using the key fob instead of the
mobile app (see Operating Summon with the Key
Fob) and you can start a parking
sequence from inside the vehicle (see Starting
Summon Before Exiting the Vehicle).
- 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 S 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 S is parked in a garage.
WARNING: Always ensure that Model S is fully
in or out of a garage before HomeLink lowers
the garage door. Summon and Smart Summon
(if equipped) cannot detect where an overhead
door will lower.
NOTE: When enabled, the HomeLink device
automatically opens and closes when using Summon,
and automatically opens as needed when using
Smart Summon (if equipped). 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
Controls screen (see HomeLink Universal Transceiver).
NOTE: The above settings, with the exception of
HomeLink, apply only to Summon-not Smart Summon
(if equipped) (see Before Using Smart Summon). You cannot customize Smart Summon's bumper
clearance, distance, and side clearance. And when using
Smart Summon, you must always hold down the button
on the mobile app to keep Model S moving. Also, Smart
Summon operates with the mobile app only-not the key
fob.
NOTE: All settings are retained until you manually
change them.
