Compass Zone Adjustment
When something affects the compass readings, typically the compass
corrects itself after a few days of operating your vehicle in normal
conditions. If the compass still appears to be inaccurate, a manual
calibration may be necessary.
1. Determine which magnetic zone
you are in for your geographic
location by referring to the zone
map.
2. Turn ignition to the on position.
3. Press and hold the 7 and 9 radio
preset buttons together for
approximately five seconds until
ZONE XX appears in the CID.
4. Press and release the 7 and 9
radio preset buttons together,
repeatedly until ZONE XX
changes to the correct zone
(1–15) in the CID.
5. The direction displays after the buttons are released. The zone is now
updated.
Compass Calibration Adjustment
Most geographic areas (zones) have a magnetic north compass point that
varies slightly from the northerly direction on maps. This variation is four
degrees between adjacent zones and becomes noticeable as the vehicle
crosses multiple zones. A correct zone setting eliminates this error.
Perform compass calibration in an open area free from steel structures
and high voltage lines. For optimum calibration, turn off all electrical
accessories (heater/air conditioning, wipers, etc.) and make sure all the
vehicle’s doors are shut.
1. Start the vehicle.
2. Press and hold the 7 and 9 radio preset buttons together for
approximately 10 seconds until CAL appears. Release the buttons.
3. Drive the vehicle in a circle slowly (under than 3 mph [5 km/h]); it
may take up to five circles to complete calibration.
4. When the CAL display changes to the direction value (N, S, E, W,
etc.), the compass is calibrated.

IGNITION SWITCH
A. Off – the ignition is off.Note:In
order to switch off the engine while
the vehicle is in motion, shift to
neutral and use the brakes to bring
the vehicle to a safe stop. After the
vehicle has stopped, shift into park
and turn the engine off. Then, turn
the key to the accessory or off
position.
B. Accessory – allows the electrical accessories such as the radio to
operate while the engine is not running.
C. On – all electrical circuits operational. Warning lights illuminated. Key
position when driving.
D. Start – cranks the engine. The engine may continue cranking for up to
10 seconds or until the vehicle starts. Release the key as soon as the
engine starts.
Note:Do not store the key in the ignition after the vehicle is turned off
and you have left the vehicle. This could cause a drain on the battery.
STARTING A GASOLINE ENGINE
When the engine starts, the idle RPM runs faster to warm the engine. If
the engine idle speed does not slow down automatically, have the vehicle
checked.
Before starting the vehicle:
•Make sure all occupants buckle their safety belts.
•Make sure the headlamps and electrical accessories are off.
•If starting a vehicle with an automatic transmission, make sure the
gearshift is in P (Park) and the parking brake is set.
•If starting a vehicle with a manual transmission, make sure the parking
brake is set, then push the clutch pedal to the floor.
•Turn the key to on without turning the key to start.
Some warning lights will briefly illuminate.
Note:Do not touch the accelerator pedal.
1. Select park or neutral.
2. Fully press the brake pedal.

USING SYNC WITH YOUR PHONE
Hands-free calling is one of the main features of SYNC. While the system
supports a variety of features, many are dependent on your cellular
phone’s functionality. At a minimum, most cellular phones with Bluetooth
wireless technology support the following functions:
•Answering an incoming call
•Ending a call
•Using privacy mode
•Dialing a number
•Redialing
•Call waiting notification
•Caller ID
Other features such as text messaging using Bluetooth and automatic
phonebook download are phone-dependent features. To check your
phone’s compatibility, refer to your phone’s user manual and visit
www.SYNCMyRide.com or www.syncmaroute.ca.
Pairing a Phone for the First Time
Note:Make sure the vehicle ignition and radio are turned on and the
transmission is in P (Park) (vehicles equipped with an automatic
transmission) or 1st gear (vehicles equipped with a manual transmission).
Wirelessly pairing your phone with SYNC allows you to make and receive
hands-free calls.
1. Press the PHONE hard button; when the display indicates no phone
is paired, press the Settings tab, then Add.
2. If Bluetooth is on, SYNC begins the pairing process between your
Bluetooth-enabled phone or device and SYNC. Refer to your phone’s
user guide if necessary.
3. When prompted on your phone’s display, enter the six-digit PIN
provided by SYNC in the radio display.
4. The display indicates when the pairing is successful.
5. Depending on your phone’s capability and your market, the system
may prompt you with questions such as setting the current phone as
the primary phone (the phone SYNC automatically tries to connect
with first upon vehicle start-up), downloading your phone book, etc.

transmission) or 1st gear (vehicles equipped with a manual transmission).
Note:SYNC can store up to 12 previously paired phones.
1. Press the PHONE hard button; select the Settings tab, then Add.
2. When prompted on your phone’s display, enter the six-digit PIN
provided by SYNC in the radio display. The display indicates when

3. The system then prompts with questions such as if you would like to
set the current phone as the primary phone (the phone SYNC
automatically tries to connect with first upon vehicle start-up),
download your phone book, etc.
