Auto Opening and Closing
To operate a HomeLink device without using 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 Controls
screen, then 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
Model 3 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 automatically opens or closes. 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.
NOTE: Do not rely on HomeLink to ensure the device
fully closes.
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 touchscreen does not display a notification as you
approach a programmed 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 Controls screen. Touch
the name of the device you want to reset, then touch
Reset Location.
Deleting a Device
To delete a HomeLink device, touch the HomeLink icon
at the top of the Controls screen. Touch the name of the
device you want to delete, then touch Delete.
NOTE: You can also perform a factory reset to erase
your HomeLink settings, along with all other personal
data (saved addresses, music favorites, imported
contacts, etc.). See Erasing Personal Data on page
NOTE: For security reasons, delete your HomeLink
devices if you sell your Model 3.

Troubleshooting HomeLink
Standard Mode
In Standard Mode, Model 3 records the RF signal from
your HomeLink device's remote control. The
touchscreen instructs you to stand in front of the
vehicle, point the device's remote control at the front
bumper, and press and hold the button until the
headlights flash. When the headlights flash, Model 3 has
learned the remote control and you can touch Continue
on the touchscreen. If the headlights do not flash:
• Check the batteries in the remote control. It is a good
idea to replace the batteries before you start
programming.
• Ensure you are standing in front of Model 3 with the
device's remote control positioned within two inches
(five cm) of the Tesla emblem.
• Press and hold the button on your device's remote
control until the headlights flash. In some cases you
must hold the button on the remote control for up to
three minutes.
NOTE: Some HomeLink remote controls require
multiple short presses (approximately one second
each press) instead of one long duration press. If you
are unsuccessful after multiple attempts of using long
presses, try repeated presses of one second each.
D-Mode and UR-Mode
In D Mode and UR-Mode, the device's receiver learns
Model 3. 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 3 with its bumper as close as possible to
the garage door, gate, etc. that you are trying to
program.
• Make sure you are pressing the receiver's Learn/
Program/Smart button. For instructions on how to
put the receiver into learning mode, refer to the
product details provided with your RF device that
you are trying to program.
• If you see a screen called "Train the receiver" while
programming the device, remember that this is a
time-sensitive step. After pressing the Learn/
Program/Smart button on the device's remote

control or receiver, you only have approximately 30
seconds to return to your vehicle, press Continue,
then press the trained HomeLink device name twice.
Consider having someone assist you with this step.
• Most devices stay in learning mode for only three to
five minutes. Immediately after pressing the device's
Learn/Program/Smart button, follow the instructions
displayed on the vehicle's touchscreen.
