Connecting to a Paired Phone
Model S automatically connects with the last
phone to which it was connected, provided it is within operating range and has Bluetooth
turned on. If the last phone is not within range,
it attempts to connect with the next phone
that it has been paired with.
To connect to a different phone, touch the
Bluetooth icon on the touchscreen's status
bar. The Bluetooth window displays a list of paired phones. Choose the phone you want to
connect to, then touch Connect. If the phone
you want to connect to is not listed, follow the instructions on Pairing a Bluetooth Phone on
page 83.
When connected, the Model S touchscreendisplays the Bluetooth symbol next to the
phone name to show that the connection is
active.

About HomeLinkIf Model S is equipped with the optional tech
package, you can program the HomeLink ®
Universal Transceiver to operate up to three
garage doors, gates, lights, and security
systems that can transmit Radio Frequency
(RF) signals.
Programming HomeLink
1. Park Model S in front of the device you
want to program, and have the device’s
remote control ready.
2. Touch Controls > Settings > HomeLink on
the touchscreen.
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, erase your
HomeLink settings if you sell Model S.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 garage door that does not meet safety standards. Agarage door opener that cannot detectan object in its path and then
automatically stop and reverse, does not
meet these standards. Using a garage
door opener without these features
increases the risk of injury or death.
Troubleshooting HomeLink
When programming a HomeLink device, the touchscreen steps you through a two-part
programming process:
• First, Model S records the signal from the remote. The touchscreen instructs you to
stand in front of the car, point the remote
at the front bumper and press and hold
the button until the headlights flash.
When headlights flash, Model S has
learned the remote and you can touch
Continue on the touchscreen . If the
headlights do not flash, refer to the
guidelines below.
• Next, the device's receiver learns Model S. The touchscreen instructs you to press
the LEARN button on the garage door or
gate's receiver. If training the receiver
does not work, refer to the guidelines
below.
NOTE: Only devices that are equipped
with a “rolling code” remote need to learn
Model S. If you have a very old device that
is not equipped with a rolling code
remote, the device does not need to learn
Model S and you can skip this part. You
can also skip this step if your receiver is
Quick-Train compatible. The opener
should work.
Headlights do not flash
• Check the batteries in the remote. It is a good idea to replace the batteries before
you start programming.
• Hold the remote against the nose cone, with the button pressed, about 6 inches to
the left of the Tesla emblem. In some
cases you must hold the remote for up to
three minutes.
• Check compatibility of the remote by contacting the HomeLink manufacturer
( www.homelink.com ).
After programming, the device does not work
• Park Model S with its front bumper as close as possible to the HomeLink device
(garage door, gate, etc).
• Make sure you haven’t reached the device receiver's limit of learned remotes/cars.
Most receivers can learn up to five
remotes/cars. If the receiver's memory is
full, you must clear the memory and
restart the programming process. For
instructions on how to clear the receiver's
memory, refer to the owner
documentation provided with the
HomeLink device.
• Make sure you are pressing the receiver's LEARN button. Most receivers have twobuttons and a LED. One button is a RESET
button and the other is a LEARN button.
Pressing the LEARN button usually causes the LED to flash. For instructions on how
to put the receiver into learning mode, refer to the owner documentation
provided with the HomeLink device.

Cleaning the InteriorFrequently inspect and clean the interior to
maintain its appearance and to prevent premature wear. If possible, immediately wipe
up spills and remove marks. For general
cleaning, wipe interior surfaces using a soft cloth (such as micro fiber) dampened with amixture of warm water and mild non-detergent cleaner (test all cleaners on a
concealed area before use). To avoid streaks,
dry immediately with a soft lint-free cloth.
Interior Glass
Do not scrape, or use any abrasive cleaning
fluid on glass or mirrored surfaces. This can
damage the reflective surface of the mirror
and the heating elements in the rear window.
Airbags
Do not allow any substance to enter an airbag
cover. This could affect correct operation.
Dashboard and Plastic Surfaces
Do not polish the upper surfaces of the
dashboard. Polished surfaces are reflective
and could interfere with your driving view.
Leather Seats
Leather is prone to dye-transfer which can cause discoloration, particularly on light
colored leather. White and tan leather is
coated with an anti-soiling treatment. Wipe
spills as soon as possible using a soft cloth
moistened with warm water and non-
detergent soap. Wipe gently in a circular
motion. Then wipe dry using a soft, lint-free
cloth. Using detergents or commercially
available leather cleaners and conditioners is
not recommended because they can discolor or dry out the leather.
Cloth Seats
Wipe spills as soon as possible using a soft cloth moistened with warm water and non-
detergent soap. Wipe gently in a circular motion. Then wipe dry using a soft, lint-free
cloth. Vacuum the seats as needed to remove
any loose dirt.
Carpets
Avoid over-wetting carpets. For heavily soiled
areas, use a diluted upholstery cleaner.Seat Belts
Extend the belts to wipe. Do not use any type
of detergent or chemical cleaning agent. Allow the belts to dry naturally while
extended, preferably away from direct sunlight.
Tesla Built-In Rear Facing Child Seats
Vacuum the seats to remove any loose dirt.
Wipe the seats with a soft cloth dampened
with warm water. You can also use an
upholstery cleaner designer for automotive use. Extend the belts to wipe. Allow the belts
to dry naturally, preferably away from direct
sunlight.
Touchscreen and Instrument Panel
Clean the touchscreen and instrument panel using a soft lint-free cloth specificallydesigned to clean monitors and displays. Donot use cleaners (such as a glass cleaner) and
do not use a wet wipe or a dry statically- charged cloth (such as a recently washed
microfiber). To wipe the touchscreen without
activating buttons and changing settings, you
can enter screen cleaning mode. Touch
Controls > Displays > Enter Screen Cleaning .
The display darkens to make it easy to see
dust and smudges.
Chrome and Metal Surfaces
Polish, abrasive cleaners or hard cloths can
damage the finish on chrome and metal surfaces.
Cautions for Interior CleaningWarning: If you notice any damage on an
airbag or seat belt, contact Tesla
immediately.Warning: Do not allow any water,
cleaners, or fabric to enter a seat belt
mechanism.Caution: Using solvents (including
alcohol), bleach, citrus, naphtha, or
silicone based products or additives on
interior components can cause damage.
