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.
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.

Tips
• Make sure you accept the request
from SYNC to access your phone.
• To pair subsequent phones,
please refer to Pairing Subsequent
Phones in the SYNC chapter of
your Owner’s Manual.
• If you experience pairing problems,
try performing a clean pairing by:
1) deleting your phone from SYNC;
2) deleting the SYNC connection
from your phone; and 3) repeating
the Pairing Your Phone with
SYNC process.
Using Your Phone with SYNC
Note: You must 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
and
when prompted, say any of the
following voice commands:
Call
Call at work
Call on mobile or cell
Call at home
For example, you could say Call Jake
Smith at home. SYNC repeats the
command back to you and dials
the number.
Note: You can also make phone calls
by giving the voice command Dial,
then verbally say the phone number.
Answering Incoming Calls
Whenever you have an incoming call,
the name and number of the person
calling appears 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
.
Do Not Disturb Mode
This feature blocks incoming calls
and text messages and saves them
for later. You still have access to
outgoing calls when this feature is
active. Say the voice command Do
not disturb on to enable and Do not
disturb off to disable.
Note: Using the display, you can
choose from privacy mode (listen
and talk through your phone) or open
mode (listen and talk through your
vehicle's speakers and microphone).
