Note:Every phone operates differently. While SYNC 911 Assist works
with most cellular phones, some may have trouble using this feature.

SYNC equipped vehicle may be able to contact emergency services by
dialing 911 through a paired and connected Bluetooth-enabled phone.
For more information about 911 Assist, visit www.SYNCMyRide.com,
www.SYNCMyRide.ca or www.syncmaroute.ca.
