Summon
Summon (if equipped) allows you to
automatically park and retrieve Model S while you are standing outside the vehicle. Summonuses data from the ultrasonic sensors to move
Model S forward and reverse up to 12 meters
in, or out of, a parking space.
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 S for the presence of vehicles or other
objects.
When an object is detected in your blind spot
or close to the side of Model S (such as a
vehicle, guard rail, etc.), colored lines radiate
from the image of your vehicle on the
instrument panel. 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

Blind Spot Warning ChimeIf you want a chime to sound when a vehicle isin your blind spot and possible collision is
detected, touch Controls > Autopilot > Blind

Collision Avoidance Assist
If your Model S is equipped with Autopilot
components (see About Autopilot on page
82), the following collision avoidance features are designed to increase the safety of you and
your passengers:

Warning: Forward Collision Warning is
designed only to provide visual and
audible alerts. It does not attempt to
apply the brakes or decelerate Model S.
When seeing and/or hearing a warning, it
is the driver

Obstacle-Aware AccelerationObstacle-Aware Acceleration is designed toreduce the impact of a collision by reducing
motor torque and in some cases applying the
brakes, if Model S detects an object in its driving path. For example, Model S, while
parked in front of a closed garage door with
the Drive gear engaged, detects that you have
pressed hard on the accelerator pedal.
Although Model S still accelerates and hits the
garage door, the reduced torque may result in
less damage.
Obstacle-Aware Acceleration is designed to
operate only when all of these conditions are
simultaneously met:

Speed Assist
How Speed Assist Works
When the Speed Limit Warning is turned on,
the instrument panel displays a speed limit as
determined by GPS data. Warnings (described
later) take effect when you exceed this limit.
In situations where Speed Assist is unable to
determine a speed limit (for example, speed
limit signs and GPS data are not available at
the current location), or if Speed Assist is
uncertain that an acquired speed limit is
accurate (for example, although a speed limit sign was initially detected, some time has
passed before a subsequent sign has been
detected), the instrument panel may not
display a speed limit sign and warnings do not take effect.
If you set the speed limit warning to Display
(see Controlling Speed Assist on page 107)
and exceed the determined speed limit, the
speed limit sign on the instrument panel
increases in size.
If you set the speed limit warning to Chime
(see Controlling Speed Assist on page 107)
and exceed the determined speed limit, the speed limit sign on the instrument panelincreases in size and Model S also sounds a
warning chime.
Note: Speed limit warnings go away after ten
seconds, or when Model S slows down below
the specified limit.
Warning:
Do not rely on Speed Assist to
determine the appropriate speed limit or driving speed. Always drive at a safespeed based on traffic and road
conditions.
Controlling Speed Assist
To adjust the Speed Limit Warning setting,
touch Controls > Autopilot > Speed Limit
Warning , then choose one of these options:
