6 – 7ELECTRONIC SHIFT
4WD SYSTEM*
The electronic shift 4WD system allows
you to choose between 2WD, 4x4
AUTO*, 4x4 HIGH or 4x4 LOW.
2H (2WD) sends power to the rear
wheels only and should be used for
street and highway driving. Provides
optimal smoothness and fuel economy
at high speeds.
4A (4x4 AUTO)* provides electronic
control four-wheel drive with power
delivered to the front and rear wheels,
as required, for increased traction.
This is appropriate for all on-road
driving conditions, including dry road
surfaces, but is especially useful on wet
pavement, snow, dirt or gravel.
4H (4x4 HIGH) helps provide extra
traction while driving in snow or
on icy roads or off road situations.
This mode is not intended for use on
dry pavement.
4L (4x4 LOW) uses extra gearing to
provide maximum power to all four
wheels at reduced speeds. Intended
only for off-road applications such
as deep sand, steep grades or pulling
heavy objects. 4L (4x4 LOW) does not
engage while the vehicle is moving
above 3 mph (5 km/h); this is normal
and should be no reason for concern.
Refer to Shifting to or from 4L (4x4
LOW) in the Four-Wheel Drive chapter
of your Owner’s Manual for details. ELECTRONIC LOCKING
DIFFERENTIAL*
When engaged, the system temporarily
locks the rear axle, allowing both rear
wheels to turn at the same speed. This
function helps to provide additional
traction as needed.
Note: Do not use this feature on
dry surfaces.
To use:
4X4: Pull the 4WD control.
4X2: Twist the
control to ON.
The indicator light
continuously
displays in the cluster when the ELD
is active.
INTEGRATED TRAILER
BRAKE CONTROLLER*
The fully integrated trailer brake
controller assists in smooth and
effective trailer braking by powering the
trailer’s electric or electric-over
hydraulic brakes with a proportional
output based on the towing vehicle’s
brake pressure.
The Gain setting is used to set the
trailer brake controller for specific
towing conditions and should be
changed as towing conditions change.
Changes to towing conditions include
trailer load, vehicle load, road
conditions and weather.
Use the Gain + and – adjustment
buttons to increase or decrease the
braking feature’s power output to
the trailer in 0.5 increments. Adjust the Gain by:
1.
Pressing the Gain+ or Gain–
buttons to increase or decrease
the setting to the desired
starting point. For example, a
Gain setting of 6.0 is a good
starting point for heavier loads.
2. Test the adjusted Gain
setting again after you make
adjustments. When testing:
A. In a traffic-free environment,
tow the trailer on a dry, level
surface at a speed of 20-25 mph
(30-40 km/h) and squeeze the
manual control lever completely.
B. If the trailer wheels lock
up (the tires will squeal),
reduce the Gain setting. If
the trailer wheels turn freely,
increase the Gain setting.
C. The proper Gain setting will
be at the point just below
trailer wheel lock-up.
Note: If towing a heavier trailer,
trailer wheel lock-up may not be
attainable even with the maximum
Gain setting of 10.

WHY DO YOU NEED A SYNC OWNER ACCOUNT?
A SYNC owner account is a requirement if you want to take advantage of the
many personalization features, such as saving your favorites. Receive the latest
software updates that add new places, directions and information; and if you
have questions, you also receive free customer support. For more information,
refer to your Owner’s Manual, visit the website or call the toll-free number. See
the inside front cover of this guide for details.
GETTING STARTED WITH
YOUR SYNC SYSTEM
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
services you may be eligible for.
2. SYNC uses a wireless connection called Bluetooth® to communicate with your
phone. Switch Bluetooth mode on in your phone’s menu options. This lets your
phone find SYNC. For more details on setting up your phone with SYNC, visit
SyncMyRide.com (U.S.) or SyncMyRide.ca (Canada), or your phone
manufacturer’s website.
PAIRING YOUR PHONE WITH SYNC
In order to use many of the features of SYNC, you must first pair and connect your
phone with SYNC. To pair your phone for the first time:
1. Make sure that your vehicle is in park (P) and you switch on your ignition and radio.
2. Press the phone button
. When the display indicates that the system does not
have a paired phone, press OK.
3. When Find SYNC appears in the display, press OK.
4. Put your phone into Bluetooth discovery mode. See your device’s manual, if necessary.
5. When prompted on your phone’s display, enter the six-digit PIN provided by SYNC in the radio display.
6. The display indicates when the pairing is successful. USING YOUR PHONE WITH SYNC
Note: You can download your phone book to make phone calls with voice commands
by name.
MAKING A PHONE CALL
Use SYNC to make a phone call to anyone in your phone book by pressing the voice
button
. When prompted, give a voice command.
For example, you could say “Call Jake Smith at home”. When the system confirms the
number, say “Dial” to initiate the call.
Note: You can also make phone calls by pressing the voice button
. When
prompted, give the voice command “Dial” and then verbally say the phone number.
ANSWERING INCOMING CALLS
Whenever you have an incoming call, you will be able to see the name and number of
the person calling in your display. Press the phone button to answer an incoming call.
You can hang up at any time by pressing and holding the phone button
.
USING SYNC TO ACCESS DIGITAL MEDIA
SYNC has a media hub with multiple inputs allowing you to access personal media from
your digital devices. Plug in your USB media devices such as phones and MP3 players
and use SYNC to play all of your favorite music.
Note: SYNC indexes all of your music. The more music that is stored on your device, the
longer it takes SYNC to index. You can then use voice indexing to find a specific song,
artist, playlist or genre when using the USB port to hard-wire your media device. When
using a Bluetooth connection, voice indexing is not available.
