Why Do I Need a SYNC Owner Account?
A SYNC owner account is required for Vehicle Health Report
activation and the ability to view your reports online. You’ll
also be able to take advantage of all of SYNC’s Services*
and personalization features, such as saving your Favorites
and Points of Interest. You’ll receive the latest software
updates that add new places, directions and information;

Ambient Lighting*
The ambient lighting system illuminates the interior with
a choice of several colors. The ambient lighting control
is located in the overhead console. Rotate the control
knob to switch the feature on and adjust the desired
brightness. Press the palette button to cycle through
your color choices.
Ambient lighting will switch on when the following
conditions have been met:
• You switch the ignition on, or
• You switch the headlamps on.
Traction Control
The traction control system helps avoid drive wheel
spin and loss of traction.
If your vehicle begins to slide, the system applies
the brakes to individual wheels and, when needed, reduces engine power at the same time. If the wheels
spin when accelerating on slippery or loose surfaces,
the system reduces engine power in order to
increase traction.
In certain situations (for example, stuck in snow or
mud), turning the traction control off may be beneficial
as this allows the wheels to spin with full engine power.
Turn the traction control system off through
the information display.
AdvanceTrac® Stability Control System
The system helps you keep control of your vehicle when
on a slippery surface. The electronic stability control
portion of the system helps avoid skids and lateral slides,
while the traction control system helps avoid drive wheel
spin and loss of traction.
