What you need to get started
To use SYNC®
’s many features, you must have the following:
• Cellular phone with Bluetooth wireless technology (with the phone’s user guide).
• Compatible digital media player with USB cable.
Note: SYNC ®
is capable of hosting nearly any digital media player including:

Pairing your phone for the first time
WARNING: Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle control, accident and injury.
Ford strongly recommends that drivers use extreme caution when using any device that may
take their focus off the road. The driver’s primary responsibility is the safe operation of their
vehicle. Only use cell phones and other devices not essential to the driving task when it is safe
to do so.
The first thing you must do to use the phone features of SYNC ®
is to ‘pair’ your Bluetooth
enabled cellular phone with SYNC ®
. This allows your phone to communicate with the
hands-free system. To pair your phone for the first time:
1. Ensure that the vehicle ignition and radio are on and that your vehicle is in Park (P).
2. Press
or PHONE to enter the PHONE MENU. SYNC ®
will attempt to connect and
the radio display will indicate that no phone is paired.
3. Press OK. ADD DEVICES will appear in the radio display.
Note: Press
/ repeatedly if ADD DEVICES does not first appear in the
radio display.
4. Press OK to confirm your selection and enter the ADD DEVICES MENU.
5. When FIND SYNC appears in the radio display, press OK. Follow the instructions in
your cellular phone’s user guide to put your phone into Bluetooth discovery mode.
A six digit PIN will appear in the radio display.
6. When prompted on your phone’s display, enter the six digit PIN provided by SYNC ®
.


7. The radio display will read CONNECTED when the pairing process
is successful.
Congratulations! Your phone is now successfully paired to SYNC ®
. Depending
on your phone’s capability, you may be prompted on your phone’s display or radio
display with additional options. For further information, refer to your phone’s user
guide and visit www.SyncMyRide.com.
Note: You can, at any time, press and hold
or PHONE to exit phone mode and listen
to other audio sources. You can also press VOICE or and say “Help” for more options.
Stay connected
The voice -activated, hands-free calling system means you can focus on driving without
putting everything else on hold. The system supports you with:
• Voice activated, hands-free calling: To initiate a call, press or VOICE, then say
“Phone.” When prompted, say “Call” or say “Dial” and, when
prompted, the desired number. When SYNC ®
confirms the number, say “Dial”
again. SYNC ®
will automatically connect with the names in your mobile phone’s
contact list. To answer incoming calls, simply press
or PHONE. To end a call,
press and hold or PHONE.
• Uninterrupted connections while entering your vehicle: In the middle of a
phone call while entering your car? No need to hang up. If your phone has been
previously paired, SYNC ®
will instantly connect to your Bluetooth phone and
automatically transfer the call to a hands-free environment. (The system can also
transfer the call back to your phone as you exit your vehicle.)
• Audible text messages: If your connected cell phone supports text messaging
downloads via Bluetooth wireless technology, you can use SYNC ®
’s text
messaging feature. If you receive a text message while driving, press OK and
SYNC ®
will read it to you out loud. The system is smart enough to translate
commonly used text messaging expressions such as “LOL” and “ :) ”. You can even
reply with a list of predefined responses.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Autoplay:With Autoplay turned ON, SYNCallows you to listen to
music which has already been randomly indexed during the indexing
process. With Autoplay turned off, the chosen music will not begin to
play until all of the music has been indexed by SYNC. Depending on the
size of the material, this may take a few minutes.
Bluetooth enabled cellular phone:Any cellular phone which has the
Bluetoothwireless technology which will enable the phone to connect
with SYNCand exchange information wirelessly.
Digital media player / USB Device:This is a generic term used to
signify any of the following media devices: iPod, Zune™, “Plays from
device” players, and most USB drives (thumb drives, flash drives, PEN
drives, etc.)
Discoverable mode:A mode which allows otherBluetoothenabled
devices to find yourBluetoothenabled device.
Discovery mode:A mode which allows yourBluetoothenabled device
to search for other ‘discoverable’Bluetoothenabled devices.
In-band ringing:This is a phone dependent feature. If yourBluetooth
enabled cellular phone supports this feature, SYNCcan play your ring
tone during incoming calls.
Indexing:A process in which SYNCbuilds a voice recognition grammar
for the media content of your digital media player. While indexing,
SYNCwill play already indexed media if Autoplay is on. However, voice
recognition is not available for the media until the indexing process is
complete.
Metadata:Descriptive tags embedded in your digital media which
provide SYNCwith information such as ARTIST, ALBUM, GENRE and
TRACK.
Pairing:To use yourBluetoothenabled cellular phone with SYNC, you
must go through a pairing (bonding) process. “Pairing” is a special
process used when two devices connect for the first time. The pairing
process is used to generate a link key that is used for authentication
purposes during subsequentBluetoothconnections between the two
devices.
PIN (Personal Identification number):This six digit number
(sometimes referred to as a passkey) will be shown in the radio display
during the pairing process with yourBluetoothenabled device. You do
not need to write down this number as it will only be used for that
specific pairing procedure.
