SYNC is a hands-free, voice recognition system used for
entertainment, information and communication.
SYNC. Say the Word.
Before You Get Started
1) Visit SyncMyRide.com (U.S.) or SyncMyRide.ca (Canada) to set up
your owner account. Register by following the on-screen instructions.
After registering, you can see what available services you are
eligible for.
2) SYNC uses a wireless connection called
Bluetooth® to
communicate with your phone. Turn 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.
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 no phone is
paired, press OK.
3) When Find SYNC appears in the display, press OK.
4) Put your phone into Bluetooth discovery mode. See your phone’s user
guide, 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.
Note: The system may prompt you to:
-
Set your phone as primary or favorite (the primary phone receives
messages and voicemail).
- Download your phone book (a requirement to use the full set
of voice commands).
- Switch on 911 Assist
®.
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 SYN C chapter of your Owner’s Manual.
- If you experience pairing problems, try performing a clean pairing by
deleting your device from SYNC, deleting the SYNC connection from
your phone, and then repeating the process.
USING VOICE COMMANDS
Every time you want to give SYNC a voice command, you must first press
the voice button . When prompted, speak your voice command. For a
list of voice commands, say “What can I say?”.
Tips

USING YOUR PHONE WITH SYNC

“Do not disturb on” to enable and “Do not disturb off” to di\
sable.
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 your music. The more stored information
you have on your USB device, the longer it takes SYNC to index.

2) Press the voice button
. When prompted, say “USB”, then
follow-up saying one of the voice commands.
3) The command repeats back to you and the selected item plays.
