Voice command issues
Issue Possible
Cause(s)Possible Solution(s)
SYNC does not
understand or is
calling the wrong
contact when I
want to make a
call.•You may be
using the wrong
voice commands.
•You may not be
saying the name
exactly as it is
saved.
•Contacts in your
phonebook may be
very short and
similar, or they
may contain
special characters.
•Your phonebook
contacts may be
saved in CAPS.•Review the phone voice
commands at the beginning of the
phone chapter.
•Ensure that you are saying the
contacts exactly as they are
listed. For example, if a contact is
saved as Joe Wilson, say, “Call Joe
Wilson”.
•The system does better if you
list full names such as “Joe
Wilson” rather than “Joe”.
•Don’t use special characters
such as 123 or ICE as the system
will not recognize them.
•If contacts are saved in CAPS,
you will have to spell them. JAKE
will require you to say, “ Call
J-A-K-E.”
Helpful Hints
•Ensure that the interior of the vehicle is as quiet as possible. Wind
noise from open windows and road vibrations may prevent the system
from correctly recognizing spoken voice commands.
•Ensure that you are speaking naturally and without any large pauses
between words.
•After you push
to begin a voice session, wait until the prompt
sounds andListeningappears in the display. Anything spoken prior to
this will not register with the system.
•You can, at any time, interrupt the system while it is speaking by
pushing
during an active voice session. The system will respond
with a listening prompt and allow you to speak a command.
•For a list of available voice commands, you can push
and say,
“Help” after the tone. The system will audibly list voice commands
available in your current mode.
•The system’s microphone is either located in your rear view mirror or
in the headliner just above your windshield. Ensure that the
microphone area is kept free of obstructions.

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.

MANUAL HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
Manual system with A/C shown; heater only system similar.
1.
:Turn to select the desired fan speed.
2.Air flow selections:Controls the direction of the airflow in the
vehicle. See the following for a brief description on each control setting:
MAX A/C (if equipped):Distributes recirculated air through the
instrument panel vents to cool the vehicle. This re-cooling of the
interior air is more economical and efficient than normal A/C mode.
Recirculated air may also help reduce undesirable odors from entering
the vehicle.
:Distributes air through the instrument panel vents.Note:Yo u
may notice a small amount of air flowing from the floor vents and the
rear seat floor vents.
:Distributes air through the instrument panel vents, floor vents
and rear seat floor vents.
:Turns the climate control system off. When the system is off,
outside air is prevented from entering the vehicle.
:Distributes air through the floor vents and rear seat floor vents.
Note:You may notice a small amount of air flowing from the demister
and defroster vents.

:Distributes outside air through the windshield defroster and
demister vents. Can be used to clear thin ice or fog from the
windshield. The system will automatically provide outside air to reduce
window fogging. To exit
select another mode.
3.Temperature:Controls the temperature of the airflow in the vehicle.
For optimum defrosting performance, set the dial to the hottest setting.
4.
R:Press to activate/deactivate the rear window defroster. Refer to
Rear window defrosterlater in this chapter for more information. If
your vehicle is equipped with both rear defroster and heated mirrors, the
same button will activate both.
5.
:Press to activate/deactivate air recirculation in the vehicle
cabin. Recirculated air may reduce the amount of time required to cool
down the interior of the vehicle and may also help reduce undesired
odors from reaching the interior of the vehicle. Recirculated air engages
automatically when MAX A/C is selected or can be engaged manually in
any airflow mode except
(defrost).
6.A/C (if equipped):Press to activate/deactivate air conditioning. Use
with recirculated air to improve cooling performance and efficiency.
Engages automatically in
(defrost),(floor/defrost) or MAX A/C.
Operating tips
•To reduce fog build-up on the windshield during humid weather,
select
(defrost) or(floor/defrost).
•To reduce humidity build-up inside the vehicle, do not drive with the
system off or with
(recirculated air) engaged and A/C off.
•Do not put objects under the front seats that will interfere with the
airflow to the back seats.
•Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of
the windshield.
•To improve the time to reach comfort in hot weather, drive with the
windows slightly open for 2-3 minutes after start up or until the
vehicle has been “aired out.”
•A small amount of air may be felt from the floor vent regardless of the
air distribution setting that is selected.
During extreme high ambient temperatures when idling stationary for
extended periods of time in gear, it is recommended to run the A/C in
the MAX A/C position, reduce blower fan speed from the highest setting
