consumed while Standby Mode is active.

Stopping or Canceling
Smart Summon
Smart Summon stops Model 3 whenever you
release the button on the mobile app. To
resume the Smart Summon session, simply
press the COME TO ME or GO TO TARGET
button again.
WARNING: Always anticipate when
you need to stop Model 3. Depending
on the quality of the connectivity
between the phone and Model 3, there
may be a slight delay between when
you release the button and when the
car stops.
Smart Summon cancels, and requires you to
restart it, when:
• A door handle is engaged or a door is
opened.

• You interact with the steering wheel,
brake pedal, accelerator pedal, or gear
stalk.
• Model 3 is blocked by an obstacle.
• Smart Summon has moved Model 3 the
maximum distance of approximately 20
meters within a 6 meter radius of the
phone's location. To move further than this
distance, you must shift Model 3 into a
driving gear (Drive or Reverse) and then re-
initiate a Smart Summon session.
• Your phone enters sleep mode or loses
connectivity to Model 3.
Limitations
Smart Summon is unlikely to operate as
intended in the following types of situations:
• GPS data is unavailable due to poor
cellular coverage.
• The driving path is sloped. Smart
Summon is designed to operate on flat
roads only (up to 10% grade).
• A raised concrete edge is detected.
Depending on the height of the concrete
edge, Smart Summon may not move Model
3 over it.
• One or more of the ultrasonic sensors or
cameras is damaged, dirty, or obstructed
(such as by mud, ice, or snow, or by a
vehicle bra, excessive paint, or adhesive
products such as wraps, stickers, rubber
coating, etc.).
• Weather conditions (heavy rain, snow,
fog, or extremely hot or cold temperatures)
are interfering with sensor or camera
operation.
• The sensors are affected by other
electrical equipment or devices that
generate ultrasonic waves.
NOTE: Smart Summon is disabled if Model 3
is in Valet mode (see Valet Mode on page
