SYNC is a hands-free, voice recognition system used 
for entertainment, information and communication. 
SYNC….Say the word.
 
Before you get started:
 1.   Set up your owner account at SyncMyRide.com (U.S.) or 
SyncMyRide.ca (Canada). Register by following the on-screen 
instructions. After registering, you can see what complimentary 
services you are eligible for.
 2.    SYNC uses a wireless connection called 
 Bluetooth® to 
communicate with your phone. Turn Bluetooth mode on in your 
phone’s menu options. This lets your phone find SYNC. If you 
need more details on setting up your phone with SYNC, visit 
SyncMyRide.com (U.S.) or SyncMyRide.ca (Canada) or your phone 
manufacturer’s website.
