Autopark
• Side Clearance: Allow 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.
Note: All settings associated with Summon are retained until you manually change them.
Position the Vehicle for Parking
Before operating Summon, align Model S laterally with the parking space so Model S can move
straight into the space in either Drive or Reverse. You must also position Model S within 12 meters
of the parking space (the maximum distance that Summon can move Model S).
If applicable, open your garage door.
Note: Use Summon on flat driveways only where a raised concrete edge does not exceed
approximately 2.5 cm.
Operating Summon with the Mobile App
On the mobile app, start Summon and hold down the forward or reverse button to move Model S
into the parking space.
Summon shifts Model S into Drive or Reverse (based on the direction you specified) and drives
into the parking space.
Note: If you release the direction button on the mobile app, Summon stops moving Model S.
Note: Summon requires that Model S can detect a valid key nearby.
Stopping or Canceling Summon
You can stop Model S at any time while Summon is active by pressing any button on the key or
using the mobile app. Summon also cancels when:
• A door handle is pressed or a door is opened.
• You interact with the steering wheel, brake pedal, accelerator pedal, or gear stalk.
• Model S detects an obstacle and cannot move forward for more than two seconds.
• Summon has moved Model S the maximum distance of approximately 12 meters.
Limitations
Summon is unlikely to operate as intended in the following types of situations:
• The road is sloped. Summon is designed to operate on flat roads only.
• Summon has detected a raised concrete edge when moving forward into the parking location.
Summon does not drive forward over an edge that is higher than approximately 2.5 cm.
• One or more of the ultrasonic sensors is damaged, dirty, or obstructed (such as by mud, ice,
or snow).
• Weather conditions (heavy rain, snow, fog, or extremely hot or cold temperatures) are
interfering with sensor operation.
• The sensors are affected by other electrical equipment or devices that generate ultrasonic
waves.
Warning: The list above does not represent an exhaustive list of situations that may interfere
with proper operation of Autopark's Summon feature. It is the driver's responsibility to remain
in control of Model S at all times. Pay close attention whenever Summon is actively moving
Model S and stay prepared to take immediate action.
