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
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) or neutral (N) with the
parking brake applied (for vehicles
with manual transmissions only)
and you switch your ignition and
radio on.
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.
Why Do You Need a SYNC Owner Account?
A SYNC owner account is required to receive the latest
software updates that add new places, directions and
information; and if you have questions, you’ll get free
customer support.
Note: Your SYNC system may offer advanced features such
as AppLink
TM. Some services may not be available in your
area. Visit the website or call the toll-free number for more
information. See the inside front cover of this guide for details.

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 control
. 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 by pressing the voice
button
. When prompted, give the voice command “Dial”,
then say the phone number.
The System May Prompt You to

• Set your phone as primary or
favorite (the primary phone
receives messages
and voicemail).
• Download your phone book
(required to use the full
set of voice commands).
• Turn 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 SYNC
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 Pairing Your
Phone with SYNC process. Answering Incoming Calls
Whenever you have an incoming call, the display shows the
name and number of the person calling. Press the phone
button to answer an incoming call. You can hang up at
any time by pressing 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.
Using SYNC to Access Digital Media
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 music that is
stored on your 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 control
. When prompted, say
“USB”, and then follow-up with a voice command.

PowerShift Six-speed 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:
• Although the gears shift automatically, the shifting
feel and sound experienced from the PowerShift
transmission are similar to those of a manual transmission, which
is normal.
• The PowerShift transmission continuously makes electronic
adjustments to optimize shift quality. During the initial 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 more details.
FUNCTION
Rear View Camera
Provides a video image of the area behind
the vehicle in the display in the center
of the instrument panel. The image
automatically appears when the vehicle
is in reverse (R) and uses green, yellow
and red guides to alert you of
your proximity to objects.
Integrated Blind Spot Mirrors
Designed to assist you by increasing the visibility along the side of
your vehicle.
• The integrated convex mirror is within the upper outboard corner of
the exterior mirrors.
• When an approaching vehicle moves toward you, the reflection
appears first in the main mirror, and then in the blind spot mirror.
Active Park Assist*
The active park assist system
can detect an available parallel
parking space and automatically
steer the vehicle into that space
(hands-free). The system instructs
the driver with visual and audible
instructions with regard to braking,
accelerating and shifting gears in
order to safely park
the vehicle.
• To initiate active park assist, press the
button located
on the center console.
• To stop the parking procedure, grab the steering wheel or
press the control again. For complete information, refer to
the Parking Aids chapter in your Owner’s Manual.
Note: The driver is always responsible for controlling the vehicle,
supervising the system and intervening, if required.
Towing Your Focus
Towing your Focus behind an RV or any other vehicle
may be limited. Refer to Towing the Vehicle on Four
Wheels in the Towing chapter of your Owner’s Manual.
Headlamp Exit Delay
After you switch the ignition off, you can switch the
headlamps on by pulling the direction indicator lever
toward you. A short tone sounds. The headlamps turn off
automatically after three minutes with any door open or
30 seconds after you close the last door. You can cancel
this feature by pulling the direction indicator toward you
again or switching the ignition on.
Autolamps*
The headlamps turn on and off automatically in low light situations or during inclement weather. They
remain on for a period of time after you switch the ignition off. You can adjust the time delay through the
information display controls.

COMFORT
Ambient Lighting*
The ambient lighting system lights the interior with a choice of several colors.
The ambient lighting control is in the overhead console. Rotate the control knob to
switch the feature on and adjust the desired brightness. Press the palette button
to cycle through your color choices.
Ambient lighting switches on when:
• Y ou switch the ignition on.
• Y ou switch the headlamps on.
Traction Control
The traction control system helps avoid
drive wheel spin and loss of traction.
If your vehicle begins to slide, the
system applies the brakes to individual
wheels and, when needed, reduces
engine power at the same time. If the
wheels spin when accelerating on
slippery or loose surfaces, the system
reduces engine power in order to
increase traction.
In certain situations (for example,
stuck in snow or mud), turning the
traction control off may be beneficial
as this allows the wheels to spin with
full engine power. You can switch this
feature off in the information display.

The lamps turn on when you
open any door, press a remote
control button or press the
overhead control.
