What is Summon mode?
Let’s know Summon mode is a remote parking and retrieval feature. Suppose your car is parked in a super tight spot, then by using Summon mode, you can operate your car from outside without sitting in it.
Using the key fob or a mobile app, you can move the car forward or backward at low speeds, making it incredibly convenient in crowded Indian parking lots.
Summon mode is a car technology that allows the vehicle to automatically go to or park at a location you specify, just like you call someone.
This feature is especially useful for situations when you want to take your car out of a narrow space or park it in a special place from a distance. Allows access to the desired location.
Tata Harrier EV – The First Indian SUV With Summon Mode
The Harrier EV is not just another electric SUV; it’s the first Indian car to introduce Summon Mode. This is a milestone because Tata Motors is bringing global-level technology to Indian buyers at a competitive price.
It’s part of the e-Valet suite, which also includes auto park assist and other intelligent driver-assist features.
Where we can use Summon Mode ?
Tata’s Summon Mode is a feature that allows the driver to move the car back and forth or slightly sideways through the remote control without anyone sitting inside. This helps in taking the vehicle out in a tight parking space or a crowded place. For this, you have to long press the lock button from the key fob of the car, then drive the car by long pressing the forward (forward) or backward (back) button. This feature works up to 12 meters and then the car stops automatically.
