2020 TESLA MODEL 3 sensor

Summon
Summon (if equipped) allows you to
automatically park and retrieve Model 3 while
you are standing outside the vehicle. Summon
uses data from the ultrasonic sensors to move
Model 3 forward and reverse up to 39 feet (12
meters) in, or out of, a parking space.
To move Model 3 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 Smart Summon on page
105.
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

Lane Assist
The Autopilot cameras and ultrasonic sensors
monitor the markers on the lane you are
driving in as well as the areas surrounding Model 3 for the presence of vehicles or other
objects.
When an object is detected in your blind spot
or close to the side of Model 3 (such as a
vehicle, guard rail, etc.), colored lines radiate
from the image of your vehicle on the
touchscreen. The location of the lines
correspond to the location of the detected object. The color of the lines (white, yellow,
orange, or red) represent the object

TPMS malfunctions can occur for a variety of
reasons, including installing replacement or
alternate tires or wheels that prevent the
TPMS from functioning properly. Always check
the TPMS malfunction indicator light after replacing one or more tires or wheels on yourvehicle to ensure that the replacement tires or
wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function
properly.
Note: If a tire has been replaced or repaired
using a different tire sealant than the one
available from Tesla, and a low tire pressure is
detected, it is possible that the tire sensor has
been damaged. Contact Tesla to have the fault repaired as soon as possible.Seasonal Tire Types
Summer Tires
Your vehicle may be originally equipped with high performance summer tires or all season
tires. Tesla recommends using winter tires if
driving in cold temperatures or on roads
where snow or ice may be present. Contact
Tesla for winter tire recommendations.Warning: In cold temperatures or on snow
or ice, summer tires do not provide
adequate traction. Selecting and installing the appropriate tires for winter conditions
is important to ensure the safety and
optimum performance of your Model 3.
All-Season Tires
Your Model 3 may be originally equipped with all-season tires. These tires are designed to
provide adequate traction in most conditions
year-round, but may not provide the same level of traction as winter tires in snowy or icy
conditions. All-season tires can be identified
by “ALL SEASON" and/or "M+S” (mud and
snow) on the tire sidewall.
Winter Tires
Use winter tires to increase traction in snowy
or icy conditions. When installing winter tires,
always install a complete set of four tires at
the same time. Winter tires must be the same
diameter, brand, construction and tread
pattern on all four wheels. Contact Tesla for
winter tire recommendations.
Winter tires can be identified by a
mountain/snow
