noise from open windows and road vibrations may prevent the
system from correctly recognizing spoken commands.

command. Any command spoken prior to this will not register with
the system.

Using SYNC’s phone features
One of the main features of SYNC is hands-free calling which works in
conjunction with yourBluetoothenabled cellular phone. In this section,
we’ll cover your phone features in menu mode, applicable voice
commands and also any additional options you may have.

the functionality of your cell phone withBluetoothwireless technology.

support the following functions:
•Answering an incoming call
