Pairing Your Phone with SYNC
In order to use many of the features of SYNC, such as making a phone call, receiving a
text, you must first connect or pair 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
(with manual transmission only), then switch your ignition and radio on.
2. Press the phone button
. When the display indicates No Phone Found, press OK.
3. When Add Bluetooth Device? appears in the display, press OK.
4. When Find SYNC appears in the display, press OK. When prompted on your
phone’s display, enter the PIN provided by SYNC into your phone.
5. The display will indicate when the pairing is successful.
The System May Prompt You to
» Set your phone as the primary/favorite (the primary phone will receive messages
and voicemail).
» Download your phone book (this is required 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 SYNC
chapter of your Owner’s Manual.
» If you are experiencing pairing problems, try performing a clean pairing by deleting your
services from SYNC, deleting the SYNC connection from your phone and then repeating
the Pairing Your Phone with SYNC process.
SYNC is a Hands-free,
Voice Recognition System

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

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

Making a Phone Call
Use SYNC to make a phone call to anyone
in your phone book by pressing the voice

. When prompted, say a
voice command.
For example, you could say “Call Jake
Smith at home”. When the system
confirms the number, say “Dial” again
to initiate the call.

pressing the voice button
and when
prompted, give the voice command “Dial”,
then verbally say the phone number.

will be able to see the name and number of
the person calling in the display. Press the
phone button

call. You can hang up at any time by

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

phones and MP3 players, and use SYNC
to play all of your favorite music.
