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

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

paired, press OK.

messages and voicemail).

Phones in the SYN C chapter of your Owner’s Manual.

GETTING STARTED WITH YOUR SYNC® SYSTE MFLEX
USING YOUR PHONE WITH SYNC
Note: Enter your phone book contacts with both first and last
names to increase the ability of SYNC to select the correct
contact. Remember to say the contact name exactly as it is listed
in your phone book.
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”. SYNC repeats the
command back to you and dials the number.
Note: You can also make phone calls from outside of your address
book by pressing the voice button
. When prompted, give 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 sends them
to your voice mail and saves text messages 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 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.
Using Voice Commands to Play Music
1) Plug your media player into your USB port.
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.

hicle in front of you in the same lane during
highway driving. When your cruise control is active, press GAP up or down to select the ga\
p distance. Refer
to the Cruise Control chapter of your Owner’s Manual for more information.
Note: Driving aids do not replace the need to watch where the vehicle is moving and brake where
necessary. Refer to your Owner’s Manual for safety information, more details and limitations.
POWER LIFTGATE *
Your liftgate has an automatic open and close feature. To open remotely, press twice on your remote
within three seconds. Press twice again to close or reverse the movement. You can also operate the
liftgate by pressing the button on the instrument panel.
ACTIVE PARK ASSIST *
The system detects an available parallel parking space and automatically \
steers the vehicle into that space
(hands-free) while you control the accelerator, gearshift and brakes. The system visually and audibly instructs
you to park the vehicle.
- To start active park assist, press the AUTO |P| button.

ol again.

approaching another vehicle traveling in the same direction as yours. If it is, a red warning light comes on and
an audible warning tone sounds.

FUNCTION
SELECTSHIFT AUTOMATIC® TRANSMISSION*
Use this feature to change gears
manually. To use, move the gearshift
lever from drive (D) to sport (S).
Depending on your vehicle, use the
thumb switch on the side of your
gearshift lever or paddle shifters on
your steering wheel to make shifts.
With the paddle shifters:
- Pull the right paddle (+) to upshift.
- Pull the left paddle (–)
to downshift.
With the thumb switch:
- Press (+) to upshift.
- Press (–) to downshift.
REAR VIEW CAMERA *
This system displays what is behind your vehicle when you place the
transmission in reverse (R). The system uses fixed guidelines that show
your vehicle’s actual path when you back up in a straight line. This can
be helpful when backing into a parking space or aligning the vehicle with
another object directly behind you.
REVERSE SENSING SYSTEM
This system sounds a warning tone if there is an obstacle near the
vehicle’s rear bumper when the vehicle is in reverse (R) and is traveling
less than 3 mph (5 km/h). The warning tone increases in frequency as
the object gets closer.
Note: Visibility aids do not replace the need to watch where
the vehicle is moving. Refer to your Owner’s Manual for safety
information, details and limitations.
BLIND SPOT INFORMATION SYSTEM (BLIS®)
WITH CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT *
BLIS uses radar sensors to help you determine if a vehicle may be in your
blind spot zone. Cross traffic alert alerts you if a car is coming toward
you as you back out of a parking space. Both features display a yellow
indicator light in your exterior mirrors. Cross traffic alert also sounds an
alarm and displays messages to warn you from which direction vehicles
are approaching. Refer to the Driving Aids chapter in your Owner’s
Manual for more information.
