Cleaning Cameras and Sensors
To ensure the various Autopilot components
can provide information that is as accurate as
possible, keep them clean and free of
obstructions or damage. Occasionally remove
any buildup of dirt by wiping the components
with a soft cloth dampened with warm water.

abrasive cleaners. Doing so can damage
surfaces.Caution: Avoid using a high-pressure

Autopark
Autopark (if equipped) uses data from the
ultrasonic sensors and GPS to simplify parking
on public roads by maneuvering Model 3 into parallel and perpendicular parking spaces. See To Use Autopark on page 100.
Warning: Autopark

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

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
