Summon
This feature may be temporarily limited or inactive until it is enabled with a future software update for vehicles manufactured
as of approximately January 2023.
Summon allows you to automatically park and retrieve CybertruckModel SModel X while you are standing outside the vehicle.
Summon moves CybertruckModel SModel X forward and reverse up to 39 ft. (12 meters) in, or out of, a parking space.
To move CybertruckModel SModel X 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 391.
To move CybertruckModel SModel X, your phone must be paired via Bluetooth (see Pairing a Phone or Bluetooth Device on
page 216).
Summon requires that CybertruckModel SModel X can detect a valid key nearby.
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: 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 X when moving forward, or directly behind
CybertruckModel SModel X when reversing.
• Summon Distance: Set a maximum distance that CybertruckModel SModel X 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 X 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 X 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 X 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 389) and you can start a parking sequence from inside the vehicle (see Starting Summon Before Exiting the Vehicle
on page 389).
• 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 X 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 X is parked in a garage.
WARNING: Always ensure that CybertruckModel SModel X 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.

Owner's Manual

387

Owners Manual
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 221).
NOTE: The above settings, with the exception of HomeLink, apply only to Summon—not Smart Summon (see Before Using
Smart Summon on page 391). 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 X
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 X:
• Align CybertruckModel SModel X within 39 ft. (12 meters) of the parking space so CybertruckModel SModel X can follow
a straight path into or out of the space in either Drive or Reverse.
• Ensure CybertruckModel SModel X key fob is in close range.
• Pair your phone with CybertruckModel SModel X via Bluetooth (see Pairing a Phone or Bluetooth Device on page 216).
After you pair once, your phone automatically connects to CybertruckModel SModel X 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 Starting Summon Before Exiting the Vehicle
on page 389).f
Summon shifts CybertruckModel SModel X 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 X into
Park. Summon shifts CybertruckModel SModel X into Park when:
• CybertruckModel SModel X detects an obstacle in its driving path (within the Bumper Clearance setting that you
specified).
• Summon has moved CybertruckModel SModel X 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 X, you can then use Summon to return CybertruckModel SModel X
back to its original position (provided CybertruckModel SModel X 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 X along the original path, provided no obstructions have been introduced. If an obstacle is
detected, CybertruckModel SModel X 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 X 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 X a short distance laterally to avoid an obstacle, it does not
attempt to steer around an obstacle to return CybertruckModel SModel X to its original driving path. Only Smart Summon can
steer CybertruckModel SModel X around objects.
NOTE: Summon requires that CybertruckModel SModel X can detect a valid key nearby.
WARNING: CybertruckModel SModel X 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 X appropriately. Therefore, you must continually monitor the vehicle's movement and its
surroundings and remain prepared to stop CybertruckModel SModel X at any time.

Traffic-Aware Cruise Control
While using Traffic-Aware Cruise Control, it is the driver’s responsibility to stay alert, drive safely, and be in control of the vehicle
at all times. Always keep your eyes on the road when driving and be prepared to take corrective action as needed.
In addition, it is the driver’s responsibility to cruise at a safe speed and maintain a safe following distance based on road
conditions and applicable speed limits. Be aware of the following limitations while Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is active.
• There may be situations where the cruising speed may not change when the speed limit changes.
• Traffic-Aware Cruise Control does not adapt driving speed based on road and driving conditions. Do not use Traffic-Aware
Cruise Control on winding roads with sharp curves, on icy or slippery road surfaces, or when weather conditions (such as
heavy rain, snow, fog, etc.) make it inappropriate to drive at a consistent speed.
• Do not rely on Traffic-Aware Cruise Control to maintain an accurate or appropriate following distance.
• Traffic-Aware Cruise Control may be unable to provide adequate speed control because of limited braking capability and
hills. It can also misjudge the distance from a vehicle ahead. Driving downhill can increase driving speed, causing
CybertruckModel SModel X to exceed your set speed (and potentially the road's speed limit).
• Traffic-Aware Cruise Control may occasionally cause CybertruckModel SModel X to brake when not required or when you
are not expecting it. This can be caused by closely following a vehicle ahead, detecting vehicles or objects in adjacent
lanes (especially on curves), etc.
• Due to limitations inherent in the onboard GPS (Global Positioning System), you may experience situations in which
CybertruckModel SModel X slows down, especially near exits or off-ramps where a curve is detected and/or you are
navigating to a destination and not following the route.
• In some cases (such as having insufficient data), Traffic-Aware Cruise Control may not automatically reduce the set speed
on the highway interchange or off-ramp.
• Traffic-Aware Cruise Control may not detect all objects and, especially when cruising over 50 mph (80 km/h), may not
brake/decelerate when a vehicle or object is only partially in the driving lane or when a vehicle you are following moves out
of your driving path and a stationary or slow-moving vehicle or object is in front of you.
• Traffic-Aware Cruise Control may react to vehicles or objects that either do not exist, or are not in your lane of travel,
causing CybertruckModel SModel X to slow down unnecessarily or inappropriately.

Owners Manual
WARNING: Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is particularly unlikely to operate as intended in the following types of
situations:
• The road has sharp curves or significant changes in elevation.
• Road signs and signals are unclear, ambiguous, or poorly maintained.
• Visibility is poor (due to heavy rain, snow, hail, etc. or poorly lit roadways at night)
• You are driving in a tunnel or next to a highway divider that interferes with the view of the camera(s)
• Bright light (such as from oncoming headlights or direct sunlight) interferes with the view of the camera(s).
WARNING: The list above does not represent an exhaustive list of situations that may interfere with proper operation of
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control. Traffic-Aware Cruise Control can cancel unexpectedly at any time for unforeseen
reasons. Always watch the road in front of you and stay prepared to take appropriate action. It is the driver's
responsibility to be in control of CybertruckModel SModel X at all times.
WARNING: Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is designed for your driving comfort and convenience and is not a collision
warning or avoidance system. Never depend on Traffic-Aware Cruise Control to adequately slow down
CybertruckModel SModel X. Always watch the road in front of you and be prepared to take corrective action at all times.
Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death.
WARNING: Although Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is capable of detecting pedestrians and cyclists, never depend on
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control to adequately slow CybertruckModel SModel X down for them. Failure to do so can result
in serious injury or death.
Autosteer
WARNING: Autosteer is a hands-on feature. Keep your hands on the steering wheel at all times, be mindful of road
conditions and surrounding traffic, and always be prepared to take immediate action. Failure to follow these instructions
could cause damage, serious injury or death.
WARNING: Autosteer is intended for use on controlled-access highways with a fully attentive driver. Do not use
Autosteer in construction zones, or in areas where bicyclists or pedestrians may be present.
WARNING: Never depend on Autosteer to determine an appropriate driving path.
CAUTION: Autosteer and its associated functions are particularly unlikely to operate as intended when:
• Autosteer is unable to accurately determine lane markings. For example, lane markings are excessively worn, have
visible previous markings, have been adjusted due to road construction, are changing quickly (lanes branching off,
crossing over, or merging), objects or landscape features are casting strong shadows on the lane markings, or the
road surface contains pavement seams or other high-contrast lines.
• Visibility is poor (heavy rain, snow, fog, etc.) or weather conditions are interfering with sensor operation.
• A camera(s) or sensor(s) is obstructed, covered, or damaged.
• Driving on hills.
• Approaching a toll booth.
• Driving on a road that has sharp curves or is excessively rough.
• Bright light (such as direct sunlight) is interfering with the view of the camera(s).
• The sensors (if equipped) are affected by other electrical equipment or devices that generate ultrasonic waves.
• A vehicle is detected in your blind spot when you engage the turn signal.
• CybertruckModel SModel X is being driven very close to a vehicle in front of it, which is blocking the view of the
camera(s).
WARNING: Many unforeseen circumstances can impair the operation of Autosteer. Always keep this in mind and
remember that as a result, Autosteer may not steer CybertruckModel SModel X appropriately. Always drive attentively
and be prepared to take immediate action.
WARNING: Autosteer is not designed to, and will not, steer CybertruckModel SModel X around objects partially in a
driving lane and in some cases, may not stop for objects that are completely blocking the driving lane. Always watch the
road in front of you and stay prepared to take immediate action. It is the driver's responsibility to be in control of
CybertruckModel SModel X at all times.

Auto Lane Change
CAUTION: When changing lanes using Auto Lane Change, It is the driver's responsibility to determine whether a lane
change is safe and appropriate. Therefore, before initiating a lane change, always check blind spots, lane markings, and
the surrounding roadway to confirm it is safe and appropriate to move into the target lane.
CAUTION: Be aware of the following limitations while using Auto Lane Change.
• Never depend on Auto Lane Change to determine an appropriate driving path. Drive attentively by watching the road
and traffic ahead of you, checking the surrounding area, and monitoring the touchscreen for warnings. Always be
prepared to take immediate action.
• Do not use Auto Lane Change on roads where traffic conditions are constantly changing and where bicycles and
pedestrians are present.
• The performance of Auto Lane Change depends on the ability of the camera(s) to recognize lane markings.
• Do not use Auto Lane Change on winding roads with sharp curves, on icy or slippery roads, or when weather
conditions (such as heavy rain, snow, fog, etc.) may be obstructing the view from the camera(s) or sensors (if
equipped).
• Overtake Acceleration can cancel for many unforeseen reasons in addition to those listed above (for example, lack of
GPS data). Stay alert and never depend on Overtake Acceleration to increase your driving speed.
• Overtake Acceleration increases your driving speed whenever the appropriate turn signal is engaged, and
accelerates CybertruckModel SModel X closer to the vehicle ahead. Although Traffic-Aware Cruise Control
continues to maintain distance from the vehicle ahead, it is important to be aware that your selected following
distance is reduced when Overtake Acceleration is active, particularly in cases where it may not be your intention to
overtake the vehicle you are following.

Stop Light and Stop Sign Warning
WARNING: Stop Light and Stop Sign Warning requires on-board maps to know that a particular stop light or stop sign
exists at a location. In some cases, map data is inaccurate or outdated and may not include all stop lights or stop signs.
Therefore, Stop Light and Stop Sign Warning may not detect all stop lights and stop signs.
WARNING: The Stop Light and Stop Sign Warning feature does not apply the brakes or decelerate
CybertruckModel SModel X and may not detect all stop lights and stop signs. Stop Light and Stop Sign Warning is
designed for guidance purposes only and is not a substitute for attentive driving and sound judgment. Keep your eyes
on the road when driving and never depend on Stop Light and Stop Sign Warning to warn you of a stop light or stop sign.
WARNING: Stop Light and Stop Sign Warning is designed to warn you only when approaching a visible red stop sign,
solid red or later portion of a yellow traffic light. It may not warn you of intersections with flashing lights and it does not
