Autopark
Autopark uses data to simplify parking on public roads by maneuvering CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y into
parallel and perpendicular parking spaces.
CAUTION: Ensure all cameras and sensors (if equipped) are clean. Dirty cameras and sensors, as well as environmental
conditions such as rain and faded lane markings, can affect Autopilot performance.
WARNING: Autopark's performance depends on the ability of the cameras and sensors (if equipped) to determine the
vehicle's proximity to curbs, objects, and other vehicles.
WARNING: Do not use Autopark if anything, such as a ball hitch, bike rack, or trailer, is attached to the tow hitch.
Autopark may not stop for hitches when parking between or in front of other vehicles.
Parameters
Autopark detects potential parking spaces based on the following parameters:
Perpendicular Parking
• Your driving speed must be below 8 mph (13 km/h). If driving too fast, Autopark may not be able to accurately detect your
desired parking space.
• The parking space must be at least as wide as your vehicle.
• The parking space must have at least three visible lines for the vehicle to park into, such as parking lines, road markings, or
distinct curbs. Autopark may not work in a garage, for example, without three visible parking lines.
• Autopark may not work with textured road surfaces such as cobblestone or brick.
Parallel Parking
• Your driving speed must be below 8 mph (13 km/h). If driving too fast, Autopark may not be able to accurately detect your
desired parking space.
• There must be a vehicle in front of or behind the space you want to park in.
NOTE: Autopark does not operate on angled parking spaces.
To Use Autopark
When driving, follow these steps to allow Autopark to maneuver CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y into a parking
space:
1. While driving slowly, monitor the instrument clustertouchscreen to see potential parking spaces detected by Autopilot.
When CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y is positioned such that it can reverse into one of the detected
locations, the instrument clustertouchscreen displays a parking iconpotential open parking spaces.

614

Owner's Manual

Owners Manual

NOTE: The parking icon apears detected parking spaces appear only if the vehicle's position and/or the circumstances of
the surrounding area are such that Autopark can determine an appropriate driving path. If Autopark cannot determine an
appropriate path (for example, when driving on a narrow street where moving into the parking space causes the front of the
vehicle to extend into the adjacent lane), you can either reposition the vehicle, find a different parking space, or park
manually.
2. Move the right scroll wheel up or down to select a parking space. Choose a spot. Check to determine if it is appropriate
and safe, then pull forward and stop approximately one car length ahead of the parking space (as you normally would when
parallel parking or when backing into a perpendicular parking space).
3. When ready to park, press the right scroll wheel button and release the steering wheelsteering yoke (or steering wheel).
4. Release the steering wheelsteering yoke (or steering wheel), shift the vehicle into Reverse, then touch and hold Autopark in
the drive mode strip on the touchscreen. You can release the button once Autopark engages.
5. Release the steering wheelsteering yoke (or steering wheel), then touch Start on the touchscreen.
6. Release the steering wheelsteering yoke (or steering wheel), then touch Start on the touchscreen.
7. Release the steering wheelsteering yoke (or steering wheel), then touch and hold Autopark in the drive mode strip on the

Summon allows you to automatically park and retrieve CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y while you are standing
outside the vehicle. Summon moves CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y forward and reverse up to 39 ft. (12 meters)
in, or out of, a parking space.
To move CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y a longer distance while steering around objects, you can use Smart
Summon 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 620.
To move CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y, your phone must be paired via Bluetooth (see Pairing a Phone or
Bluetooth Device on page 360).
Summon requires that CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y can detect a valid key nearby.
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.
For more information about the limitations of Summon and conditions that may interfere with its use, see Warnings and
Limitations on page 630.
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:
616

Owner's Manual

Owners Manual
• 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 CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y when moving forward, or directly behind
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y when reversing.
• Summon Distance: Set a maximum distance that CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model 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
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y to enter and exit very narrow parking spaces.
WARNING: Parking in a narrow space limits the ability of the cameras and sensors (if equipped) to accurately detect
the location of obstacles, increasing the risk of damage to CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model 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
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model 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
Operating Summon with the Key Fob on page 618) and you can start a parking sequence from inside the vehicle (see
Starting Summon Before Exiting the Vehicle on page 619). Also, when Require Continuous Press is set to No, you can
operate Summon using the key fob accessory instead of the mobile app (see Operating Summon with the Key Fob on page
618) and you can start a parking sequence from inside the vehicle (see Starting Summon Before Exiting the Vehicle on
page 619).
• 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 CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y enters or exits during a Summon
session. In a Smart Summon session, the device automatically opens when, at the beginning of a session, Smart Summon
detects that CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y is parked in a garage.
WARNING: Always ensure that CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y is fully in or out of a garage before
HomeLink lowers the garage door. Summon and Smart Summon 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. 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 Smart Garage
on page 365).
The above settings, with the exception of HomeLink, apply only to Summon—not Smart Summon (see Before Using Smart
Summon on page 620). 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 CybertruckModel SModel XModel
3Model Y moving. Also, Smart Summon operates with the mobile app only—not the key fob—not the key fob. All settings are
retained until you manually change them.
Using Summon to Park and Retrieve your Vehicle
Follow these steps to use Summon to park your CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y:
• Align CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y within 39 ft. (12 meters) of the parking space so
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y can follow a straight path into or out of the space in either Drive or Reverse.
• Ensure CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y key fob is in close range.
• Pair your phone with CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y via Bluetooth (see Pairing a Phone or Bluetooth Device
on page 360). After you pair once, your phone automatically connects to CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y
every time. Your phone must be within approximately 6 meters of the vehicle for Summon to work.
• From outside the vehicle, initiate the parking maneuver by touching Summon on the mobile app, then holding down the
Forward or Reverse button.
NOTE: If the Require Continuous Press setting is No, you do not need to hold down the button, just press and release.
NOTE: You can also initiate the parking maneuver from inside the vehicle (see Starting Summon Before Exiting the Vehicle
on page 619).

Owners Manual
Summon shifts CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y into Drive or Reverse (based on the direction you specified) and
drives into or out of the parking space. When parking is complete, or if an obstacle is detected, Summon shifts
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y into Park. Summon shifts CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y into Park
when:
• CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y detects an obstacle in its driving path (within the Bumper Clearance setting
that you specified).
• Summon has moved CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y the maximum distance of 39 ft. (12 meters).
• You release the Forward or Reverse button (when Require Continuous Press is turned on).
• You press any button to manually stop Summon.
If you used Summon to park CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y, you can then use Summon to return
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y back to its original position (provided CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model
Y has remained in Park), or to the maximum Summon Distance that you have specified (whichever comes first). Simply specify
the opposite direction on the mobile app and Summon moves CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y along the original
path, provided no obstructions have been introduced. If an obstacle is detected, CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y
attempts to avoid the obstacle while staying very close to its original path (Summon does not steer around obstacles).
NOTE: To use Summon to move CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y multiple times in the same direction (not to
exceed the maximum of 39 ft. (12 meters), cancel Summon and then restart the parking process using the same direction.
NOTE: Although Summon can move CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y a short distance laterally to avoid an
obstacle, it does not attempt to steer around an obstacle to return CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y to its original
driving path. Only Smart Summon can steer CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y around objects.
NOTE: Summon requires that CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y can detect a valid key nearby.
NOTE: Summon requires that CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y can detect an authenticated phone nearby (Canada
only).
WARNING: CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y cannot detect obstacles that are located lower than the
bumper, are very narrow, or are hanging from a ceiling (for example, bicycles). In addition, many unforeseen
circumstances can impair Summon's ability to move in or out of a parking space and, as a result, Summon may not move
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y appropriately. Therefore, you must continually monitor the vehicle's
movement and its surroundings and remain prepared to stop CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y at any time.

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 cameras and 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 CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y when moving forward, or directly behind
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y when reversing.
• Summon Distance: Set a maximum distance that CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model 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
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y to enter and exit very narrow parking spaces.
WARNING: Parking in a narrow space limits the ability of the cameras and sensors (if equipped) to accurately detect
the location of obstacles, increasing the risk of damage to CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model 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
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model 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 instead of the mobile app (see Operating
Summon with the Key Fob on page 625) and you can start a parking sequence from inside the vehicle (see Starting
Summon Before Exiting the Vehicle on page 625).
• 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 CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y enters or exits during a Summon
session. In a Smart Summon session, the device automatically opens when, at the beginning of a session, Smart Summon
detects that CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y is parked in a garage.

WARNING: Always ensure that CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y is fully in or out of a garage before
HomeLink lowers the garage door. Summon and Smart Summon 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. 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 touchscreen (see Smart Garage on
page 365).
NOTE: The above settings, with the exception of HomeLink, apply only to Summon—not Smart Summon (see Before Using
Smart Summon on page 627). 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
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y moving. Also, Smart Summon operates with the mobile app only—not the key
fob.
NOTE: All settings are retained until you manually change them.
Using Summon to Park and Retrieve your Vehicle
Follow these steps to use Summon to park your CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y:
• Align CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y within 39 ft. (12 meters) of the parking space so
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y can follow a straight path into or out of the space in either Drive or Reverse.
• Ensure CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y key fob is in close range.
• Pair your phone with CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y via Bluetooth (see Pairing a Phone or Bluetooth Device
on page 360). After you pair once, your phone automatically connects to CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y
every time. Your phone must be within approximately six meters of the vehicle for Summon to work.
• From outside the vehicle, initiate the parking maneuver by touching Summon on the mobile app, then holding down the
Forward or Reverse button.
NOTE: If the Require Continuous Press setting is No, you do not need to hold down the button, just press and release.
NOTE: You can also initiate the parking maneuver from inside the vehicle (see #unique_753 on page ).
Summon shifts CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y into Drive or Reverse (based on the direction you specified) and
drives into or out of the parking space. When parking is complete, or if an obstacle is detected, Summon shifts
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y into Park. Summon shifts CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y into Park
when:
• CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y detects an obstacle in its driving path (within the Bumper Clearance setting
that you specified).
• Summon has moved CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y the maximum distance of 39 ft. (12 meters).
• You release the Forward or Reverse button (when Require Continuous Press is turned on).
• You press any button to manually stop Summon.
If you used Summon to park CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y, you can then use Summon to return
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y back to its original position (provided CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model
Y has remained in Park), or to the maximum Summon Distance that you have specified (whichever comes first). Simply specify
the opposite direction on the mobile app and Summon moves CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y along the original
path, provided no obstructions have been introduced. If an obstacle is detected, CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y
attempts to avoid the obstacle while staying very close to its original path (Summon does not steer around obstacles).
NOTE: To use Summon to move CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y multiple times in the same direction (not to
exceed the maximum of 39 ft. (12 meters), cancel Summon and then restart the parking process using the same direction.
NOTE: Although Summon can move CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y a short distance laterally to avoid an
obstacle, it does not attempt to steer around an obstacle to return CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y to its original
driving path. Only Smart Summon can steer CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y around objects.
NOTE: Summon requires that CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y can detect a valid key nearby.

WARNING: CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y cannot detect obstacles that are located lower than the
bumper, are very narrow, or are hanging from a ceiling (for example, bicycles). In addition, many unforeseen
circumstances can impair Summon's ability to move in or out of a parking space and, as a result, Summon may not move
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y appropriately. Therefore, you must continually monitor the vehicle's
movement and its surroundings and remain prepared to stop CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y at any time.
