About HomeLink
If your vehicle is equipped
with the HomeLink®
Universal Transceiver, you
can operate up to three
Radio Frequency (RF)
devices, including garage
doors, gates, lights, and
security systems.
NOTE:
Depending on date of manufacture,
market region, and options selected at time
of purchase, some vehicles are not equipped
with a HomeLink Universal Transceiver.
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.
Supported Modes
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
(
or call
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
Controls
screen and select the device you
want to change. Then, select
Program
and
choose the desired mode for your device.
Confirm by touching
Set Mode

onscreen instructions.
NOTE:
Check the product information for
your HomeLink device to determine which
mode is compatible with your device.
