Tesla Model Y: Programming HomeLink
To program HomeLink:
1. Park Model Y 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 Controls screen.
4. Touch Create HomeLink.
5. Select the mode you wish to use: Standard, D-Mode, or UR-Mode.
6. On the touchscreen, enter a name for your device, then and touch Enter or Create HomeLink.
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.
NOTE: The HomeLink icon displays at the top of the touchscreen when Model Y detects a programmed HomeLink device within range, and the touchscreen is not already displaying the HomeLink screen or popup,
