SYNC Owner Account
Why do I need a SYNC owner account?
•
Required to activate Vehicle Health
Report and to view the reports online.
• Required to activate the
subscription-based SYNC Services and
to personalize your Saved Points and
Favorites.
• Essential for keeping up with the latest
software downloads available for
SYNC.
• Access to customer support for any
questions you may have.
Driving Restrictions
For your safety, certain features are
speed-dependent and restricted when your
vehicle is traveling over 3 mi (5 km).
Safety Information WARNING
Driving while distracted can result in
loss of vehicle control, crash and
injury. We strongly recommend that
you use extreme caution when using any
device that may take your focus off the
road. Your primary responsibility is the safe
operation of your vehicle. We recommend
against the use of any hand-held device
while driving and encourage the use of
voice-operated systems when possible.
Make sure you are aware of all applicable
local laws that may affect the use of
electronic devices while driving. When using SYNC:
•
Do not operate playing devices if the
power cords or cables are broken, split
or damaged. Place cords and cables
out of the way, so they do not interfere
with the operation of pedals, seats,
compartments or safe driving abilities.
• Do not leave playing devices in your
vehicle during extreme conditions as it
could cause them damage. See your
device's manual for further information.
• Do not attempt to service or repair the
system. See an authorized dealer.
Privacy Information
When a cellular phone is connected to
SYNC, the system creates a profile within
your vehicle that is linked to that cellular
phone. This profile is created in order to
offer you more cellular features and to
operate more efficiently. Among other
things, this profile may contain data about
your cellular phone book, text messages
(read and unread), and call history,
including history of calls when your cellular
phone was not connected to the system.
In addition, if you connect a media device,
the system creates and retains an index of
supported media content. The system also
records a short development log of
approximately 10 minutes of all recent
system activity. The log profile and other
system data may be used to improve the
system and help diagnose any problems
that may occur.
The cellular profile, media device index,
and development log will remain in the
vehicle unless you delete them and are
generally accessible only in the vehicle
when the cellular phone or media player
is connected. If you no longer plan to use
the system or the vehicle, we recommend
you perform a Master Reset to erase all
stored information.

Speed-restricted Features
Some features of this system may be too
difficult to use while your vehicle is moving
so they are restricted from use unless your
vehicle is stationary.
• Screens crowded with information,
such as Point of Interest reviews and
ratings, SIRIUS Travel Link sports
scores, movie times or ski conditions.
• Any action that requires you to use a
keyboard is restricted, such as entering
a navigation destination or editing
information.
• All lists are limited so the user can view
fewer entries (such as phone contacts
or recent phone call entries).
See the following chart for more specific
examples. Restricted features
Pairing a Bluetooth phone
Cellular Phone
Adding phonebook contacts or uploading phonebook
contacts (from a USB)

Power
Motor-to-wheel flow shows the direction of power flow between the wheels
and the electric motor.
A
Electric Motor
represents the hybrid electric motor. The higher the motor
power is, the larger the circle around this node. Any time the vehicle is ready to
be driven, the motor node illuminates.
B
Battery-to-motor flow 1
shows the direction of power flow between the
high-voltage battery and the electric motor. Flow toward the motor indicates
the battery is providing power to accelerate the vehicle (discharging the battery).
Flow toward the battery indicates the electric motor is providing power to the
battery (charging the battery).
C
Plug (Energi only)
appears when you plug your vehicle into the wall. When
charging the high voltage battery from the wall, you can see flow from the plug
to the battery on the screen.
D
Other 2
includes all power usage from the low voltage accessories such as the
climate control fan, headlights and heated seats. The higher the power usage
is from these accessories, the larger the circle around the node. This node
illuminates anytime the vehicle is on since there is always some low level power
in use.
E
Climate 2,3
includes the power usage from the high-voltage climate control
components such as the electric A/C compressor and the electric heater (Energi
only). The higher the power usage is from these components, the larger the
circle around this node.
