About HomeLink
You can program the HomeLink
®
Universal
Transceiver (if equipped) to operate up to
three Radio Frequency (RF) devices, including
garage doors, gates, lights, and security
systems.
Note: Depending on date of manufacture,
options selected, and time of purchase, some
Model S vehicles are not equipped with
HomeLink.
Programming HomeLink
1. Park Model S in front of the device you
want to program, and have the device's
remote control ready.
Note: Make sure you haven’t reached the
limit of learned remotes/vehicles. Most
device receivers can learn up to
five
remotes/vehicles. If necessary, clear the
receiver memory and restart the
programming process. For information
about clearing the receiver memory, refer
to the owner documentation for your
device.
2. On the touchscreen, touch Controls >
Settings > HomeLinkHomeLink icon on
the touchscreen's status bar.
3. Touch Add New HomeLink, then use the
onscreen keyboard to enter a name for
your HomeLink device.
4. Touch Program.
5. Follow the onscreen instructions.
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 security reasons, delete your
HomeLink devices if you sell your Model S
(see Deleting a Device on page 131).
Warning:
Your device might open or close
during programming. Before
programming, make sure that the device
is clear of any people or objects.
Warning: Do not use the HomeLink
Universal Transceiver with a device that
does not have safety stop and reverse
features. Using a device without these
safety features increases the risk of injury
or death.
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:
• Touch Controls > Settings > HomeLinkthe
HomeLink icon on the touchscreen's
status bar and choose the device you
want to automate.
• Select the Auto-open when arriving
check box.
• Touch the arrows to specify the distance
you want your vehicle to be from the
device before it opens.
• Select the Auto-close when leaving check
box 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. 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 Controls > Settings > HomeLinkthe
HomeLink icon on the touchscreen's status
bar. Touch the name of the device you want to
reset, then Reset Location.

Settings > HomeLinkthe HomeLink icon on
the touchscreen's status bar. Touch the name
of the device you want to delete, then touch

favorites, imported contacts, etc.). See Erasing
