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 S while you are standing
outside the vehicle. Summon uses data from
the ultrasonic sensors to move
Model S forward and reverse up to 39 feet (12 meters) in, or out of, a parking space.
To move Model S 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 115.
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

device automatically opens and closes when using Summon

HomeLink in other situations (such as normal driving), you must adjust the
HomeLink device

NOTE: Lane Departure Avoidance does not
warn you of lane departures, or provide steering interventions, if the associated turn signal is on, which indicates an intentional
lane change.WARNING: Lane Departure Avoidance is intended to help keep you safe, but it does not work in every situation and does not replace the need to remain attentive and in control.
WARNING: Keep your hands on the steering yoke and drive attentively at all times.
WARNING: Steering interventions are minimal and are not designed to move Model S out of its driving lane. Do not rely on steering interventions to avoid side collisions.
Emergency Lane Departure
