NOTE: 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, you only
have approximately 30 seconds to return to
your vehicle, press Continue, and then
press the trained HomeLink device name
twice. Consider having an assistant help
with this step.
7. Once your device is programmed, touch
Save to complete the HomeLink
programming routine.
8. Ensure HomeLink works as expected. In
some cases the programming process may
require multiple attempts before
succeeding.
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
(www.homelink.com or call 1-800-355-3515).
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.
Using the Touchscreen
HomeLink Universal Transceiver
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.
Deleting a Device
To delete a HomeLink device, touch the
HomeLink icon at the top of the touchscreen.
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.
