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 commands.
•After pressing
, ensure that you wait until after the tone
sounds and Listening appears in the display before saying a
command. Any command spoken prior to this will not register with
the system.
•Speak naturally without long pauses between words.
•At any time you can interrupt the system while it is speaking by
pressing
.
Using SYNC’s phone features
One of the main features of SYNC is
hands-free calling which works in
conjunction with yourBluetooth
enabled 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.
Phone dependent features
While SYNCsupports a variety of features, many are dependent upon
the functionality of your cell phone withBluetoothwireless technology.
At a minimum, most cellular phones withBluetoothwireless technology
support the following functions:
•Answering an incoming call
•Ending a call
•Using privacy mode
•Dial a number

911 operators to provide the most appropriate emergency
services. If you do not want to disclose this information, do not
enable (set to ON) the feature.
Note:If 911 Assist™ is enabled/disabled by any user, the current setting
will apply for all paired phones. If the 911 Assist™ setting is disabled
(set to OFF), a voice message and/or display item will inform the vehicle
occupants when a previously paired phone connects to SYNCat vehicle
start up.
In the event of a crash involving the deployment of an airbag or the
activation of the fuel pump shut-off, in certain vehicles, SYNCis
designed to assist occupants in attempting to contact emergency services
by dialing 911 through the occupant’s paired and connectedBluetooth
enabled cellular phone. In the event that a connected cellular phone is
damaged or loses connection to SYNC, SYNCwill search for and
connect to any available, previously paired cell phone and attempt to
place the call to 911. Before initiating the call, SYNCprovides a short
window of time (approximately 10 seconds) that allows the driver or
passenger to decide whether to cancel the call by pressing and
holding
or PHONE on the steering wheel controls or on the audio
system. Before initiating the 911 call for the occupants, SYNCwill say
the following or a similar message:
“SYNCwill attempt to call 911. If you wish to cancel the call, press and
hold the phone button.”
If the call is not cancelled and a successful call is made, a pre-recorded
message will be played for the 911 operator and then the occupant(s) in
the vehicle will be able to communicate with the 911 operator.
Note:Failure to cancel the call as described above will result in SYNC
dialing 911.
Note:When you are connected to the 911 operator, be prepared to
provide your name, phone number and location immediately, because not
all 911 systems are capable of receiving this information electronically.
The following steps are required for the 911 Assist™ feature to perform
properly:
•SYNCis on and functioning properly at the time of the incident and
throughout feature activation and use.
•SYNC911 Assist™ feature is set to ON prior to the incident.
•ABluetoothenabled and compatible cellular phone is paired and
connected to SYNC.
•A connectedBluetoothenabled cellular phone that has the ability to
make and maintain an outgoing call at the time of the incident.

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 press
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
pressing
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 press
and say,
“Help” after the tone. The system will audibly list voice commands
available in your current mode.
