Before You Get Started
1. Set up your owner account
at SyncMyRide.com (U.S.)
or SyncMyRide.ca (Canada).
Register and you will see which
complimentary services you are
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. For more details on

Pairing Your Phone with SYNC
In order to use many of the features of SYNC, such as making a phone call or 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), then switch your ignition and radio on.
2. Press the phone button
. When the display indicates there is no phone paired,
press OK.
3. Put your phone into Bluetooth discovery mode. See your phone's manual, if necessary.
4. When prompted on your phone’s display, enter the six-digit PIN provided by SYNC into
your phone.
5. The display indicates when the pairing is successful.
The System May Prompt You to
» Set your phone as the primary or favorite (the primary phone receives messages
and voicemail).
» Download your phone book (a requirement to use the full set of voice commands).

®.
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
