HomeLink
Once programmed, you can operate the
device by touching its corresponding
HomeLink icon on the touchscreen's status
bar. HomeLink remembers the location of your
programmed devices. When you approach a
known location, the HomeLink control on the
touchscreen automatically drops down. When
you drive away, it disappears.
Note: For additional assistance or
compatibility questions, contact HomeLink

Auto Opening and Closing
To operate a HomeLink device without
touching the touchscreen, you can automate
the device to open as you approach, and close
as you drive away:
1. Touch the HomeLink icon at the top of the
touchscreen and choose the device you
want to automate.
2. Select the Auto-open when arriving
checkbox if you want the device to open
as you approach.
3. Touch the arrows to specify the distance
you want your vehicle to be from the
device before it opens.
4. Select the Auto-close when leaving
checkbox if you want the device to close
as you drive away.
As you approach (or drive away from) a
device that is set to operate automatically, the
HomeLink status icon displays a count-down
message to let you know when the device will
automatically open or close. In situations
where you don't want the device to
automatically open or close, touch Skip Auto-
Open or Skip Auto-Close at any time during
the count-down message.
Resetting the Location of the
HomeLink Device
If you experience situations in which you
sometimes drive up to your HomeLink device
and it doesn't open, or the HomeLink icon on
the touchscreen's status bar does not display
the dropdown when you approach the device,
you may need to reset the device's location.
To do so, park as close as possible to the
HomeLink device (garage door, gate, etc.) and
display the HomeLink settings page by
touching the HomeLink icon at the top of the
touchscreen. Touch the name of the device
you want to reset, then Reset Location.

Troubleshooting HomeLink
Standard Mode
In Standard Mode, Model S records the signal
from the remote of your RF device. The
touchscreen instructs you to stand in front of
the vehicle, point the remote at the front
bumper, and press and hold the button until
the headlights flash. When the headlights
flash, Model S has learned the remote and you
can touch Continue on the touchscreen. If the
headlights do not flash, refer to the following
guidelines:
• Check the batteries in the remote. It is a
good idea to replace the batteries before
you start programming.
• While standing in front of your vehicle,
press and hold the button on your
device's remote, with the remote
approximately 2 inches (5 cm) in front of
the Tesla emblem. In some cases you must
hold the button on the remote for up to
three minutes.
• Certain garage door remotes may require
multiple short remote presses
(approximately 1 second each press)
instead of one long duration press.
D-Mode and UR-Mode
In D Mode and UR-Mode, the device's receiver
learns Model S. The touchscreen instructs you
to press the "Learn" button (may also be
called "Program" or "Smart") on the device's
receiver. If this does not work, refer to the
following guidelines:
• Park Model S with its bumper as close as
possible to the garage door, gate, etc. that
you are trying to program.
