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.

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
Call
Call
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

.
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

You can fold down the rear seatbacks for
more cargo space. To do this, make sure the
adjustable rear head restraints are in the lowest
position. Press and hold the release button
on the seatback and fold the seatback down.
When raising the seatback(s), make sure you hear the seat latch
into place. Pull down on the seatback to make sure it has latched.
Automatic Climate Control*
Automatically control the temperature, fan speed
and airflow direction to reach and maintain your
selected temperature. Press the AUTO button
to switch the automatic system on and off.
Press OFF to switch off the climate system.
Tilting Head Restraints*
Pivot the head restraint forward to
your desired position. After it reaches
the forward-most tilt position, pivot
it forward again to return it to the
upright position.
Note: Do not force the head restraint backward after it is tilted.
Instead, continue tilting it forward until the head restraint releases
to the upright position.
Ambient Lighting
Lights the interior with a choice of
several colors. The ambient lighting
control is in the center stack, under
the climate controls. Press and
release the
button to cycle
through your color choices.
Ambient lighting turns on when the
ignition and headlamps are on.
PowerShift Automatic Transmission*
We designed this transmission for
fun-to-drive performance and exceptional
fuel efficiency, by using the advantages
of a manual transmission with the
convenience of an automatic transmission.
You may notice the following
characteristics of this technology:
• Mechanical noises after switching the
engine off, opening the driver door
and during some transmission shifting
events. These are normal and do not cause damage.
• Firm gearshifts when moving the accelerator pedal back
and forth quickly.
Your transmission continuously makes electronic adjustments
to optimize shift quality and acceleration performance. It makes
most of the adjustments during the first 1,000 miles (1610
kilometers) of operation. During this break-in period, you may
feel slight vibrations when accelerating your vehicle from low
speeds. See the Transmission chapter of your Owner's Manual
for details.
SelectShift Automatic Transmission*
This transmission gives you the ability to
manually change gears if you’d like.
To Use
• Move the gearshift lever from drive (D)
to sport (S).
• Activate SelectShift by using the thumb
toggle located on the side of your
gearshift lever to make manual shifts.
• Press the (+) button to upshift. Press
the (–) button to downshift.
Hill Start Assist*
The system makes it easier to pull away when you park your
vehicle on a slope without using the parking brake. When active,
this feature allows your vehicle to remain stationary on a slope
for up to two to three seconds after you release the brake
pedal. This short period gives you time to move your foot to the
accelerator and pull away. This feature activates automatically
if the sensors detect that the vehicle is on a slope.

and Fuel Info
Your vehicle has a 12.4 gallon
(47L) fuel tank capacity.

changing your tire, see the
Wheels and Tires chapter
in your Owner’s Manual.
Tire Pressure
Monitoring System
Your vehicle displays a low
tire pressure warning light
in your instrument cluster
when one or more of your
tires are significantly under-
inflated. If this happens stop
and check your tires as soon
as possible. Inflate them to
the proper pressure. Refer to
the Wheels and Tires chapter
of your Owner’s Manual for
more information.

Easy Fuel System
To Use
• Put your vehicle into park (P)
and switch off the ignition.
• Open the fuel-filler door.
• Insert the nozzle.
• Begin fueling.
• Wait 5-10 seconds between the time the refueling nozzle
shuts off until you remove the nozzle from the vehicle to
allow residual fuel in the nozzle to drain into the tank.
• When using a portable fuel container, slowly insert the fuel
funnel (located in the spare tire compartment) and pour the
fuel into the funnel.
Note: Do not use aftermarket funnels as they do not work with
the Easy Fuel system and may cause damage. Properly clean
the funnel after each use.
