Summon - Tesla Y Owner's Manual

NOTE: Depending on market region, vehicle
configuration, options purchased, and software version,
your vehicle may not be equipped with Summon, or the
feature may not operate exactly as described.
Summon allows you to automatically park and retrieve
Model Y while you are standing outside the vehicle.
Summon moves Model Y forward and reverse up to 39
feet (12 meters) in, or out of, a parking space.
To move Model Y 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
page 114.
CAUTION: Ensure all cameras and sensors are
clean. Dirty cameras and sensors, as well as
environmental conditions such as rain and faded
lane markings, can affect Autopilot performance.
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 (if equipped)
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 > 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 Y when moving forward, or directly
behind Model Y when reversing.
• Summon Distance: Set a maximum distance that
Model Y 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 Y to enter and exit very narrow parking
spaces.

Smart Summon on
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 Y 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 Y 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 accessory instead
of the mobile app (see
Key Fob on page 112) and you can start a parking
sequence from inside the vehicle (see
Summon Before Exiting the Vehicle on page
• 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 Y 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 Y is parked in a garage.
WARNING: Always ensure that Model Y 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
on page 157).
NOTE: The above settings, with the exception of
HomeLink, apply only to Summon—not Smart Summon
(if equipped) (see Before Using Smart Summon on page
114). 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 Y moving. Also, Smart
Summon operates with the mobile app only—not the key
fob accessory.
NOTE: All settings are retained until you manually
change them.
