HomeLink supports three different transmit modes, which is how your vehicle and the RF device communicate. Selecting a transmit mode is determined by your RF device's compatibility:

• Standard Mode: Use Standard Mode if your RF device is equipped with a remote control that must be used to operate the device (for example, a remote-controlled garage door). This mode is the most commonly used transmit mode for HomeLink devices.
• D-Mode or UR-Mode: Use D-Mode or UR-Mode if the RF device does not have a remote control, and the receiver has a "Learn" button (may also be called "Program" or "Smart"). D-Mode and UR-Mode function similarly in that Model X communicates directly with the device's receiver as opposed to the remote control.
  Note

  D-Mode is used primarily in North America whereas UR-Mode is popular in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. To determine the mode your device is compatible with, contact HomeLink by going to www.homelink.com.

Each of your devices can be set to a different mode. For example, your garage door can be set to Standard Mode, your front gate can be set to D-Mode, etc. To change a transmit mode, touch the HomeLink icon at the top of the and select the device you want to change. Then, select Program and choose the desired mode for your device. Confirm by touching Set Mode and follow the onscreen instructions.

To program HomeLink®:

1. Park Model X so that the front bumper is in front of the device you want to program.
   CAUTION

   Your device might open or close during programming. Therefore, before programming, make sure that the device is clear of any people or objects.
2. Check that the device's remote control has a healthy battery. Tesla recommends replacing the battery in the device's remote control before Programming HomeLink.
3. Touch the HomeLink icon at the top of the .
4. Touch Create HomeLink.
5. On the HomeLink screen, enter a name for the device, then touch Enter or Add New HomeLink.
6. Choose the mode you wish to use (Standard, D-Mode, or UR-Mode), then touch Set Mode.
7. Touch Start and follow the onscreen instructions.
   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 control, you have only approximately 30 seconds to return to your vehicle and press Continue, and then press the trained HomeLink device name twice. Consider having an assistant to ensure you can complete this step within 30 seconds.
8. Once your device is programmed, touch Save to complete the programming.
9. Ensure HomeLink works as expected. In some cases, you may need to repeat the programming process multiple times before succeeding.

Once programmed, you can operate the device by touching its corresponding HomeLink icon on the touchscreen. HomeLink remembers the location of your programmed devices. When you approach a known location, the HomeLink control on the touchscreen automatically appears. When you drive away, it disappears.

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 , touch HomeLink Settings, then choose the device you want to automate.
2. Adjust the device's HomeLink settings as needed:
   • Select the Auto-open when arriving checkbox if you want the device to open as you approach.
   • Touch the arrows to specify the distance you want Model X to be from the device before it opens.
   • Select the Auto-close when leaving checkbox if you want the device to close as you drive away.
   • Select the Auto-fold mirrors checkbox if you want mirrors to fold when you arrive at the HomeLink location. This is useful for narrow garages.
   • Select the Chime for Auto-open and Auto-close checkbox if you want Model X to sound a chime when a signal has been sent to open or close the device.

HomeLink remembers the vehicle’s GPS location at the time of pairing and uses this to determine the vehicle’s whereabouts in relation to the HomeLink device. HomeLink does not detect and differentiate between opening and closing (ex: if Auto-open is triggered and the door is already open, the door will close) but typically determines whether to auto-open or -close based on the following:

Auto-Open: Detects when Model X approaches the garage door (or other HomeLink device) within a specified distance. Auto-open initiates so long as the approaching vehicle is in Drive and HomeLink is enabled. HomeLink does not trigger when the vehicle is already in the area.

Auto-Close: HomeLink triggers when the Model X shifts from Park into Reverse, and moves at least seven meters in Reverse.

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.

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 . Touch the name of the device you want to reset, then touch Reset Location.

To delete a HomeLink device, touch the HomeLink icon at the top of the , then touch HomeLink Settings. Touch the name of the device you want to delete, then touch Delete.
