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
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. If you need more details on setting up
your phone to work 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 such as making
a phone call, receiving a text or using SYNC Services, you
must first connect or pair your phone with SYNC.
To pair your phone for the first time
1. Make sure your vehicle is in park (P) (automatic
transmission) or 1 (manual transmission), and you switch
the ignition and radio on. 2.
Press the phone button
. When the display indicates no
phone is paired, press the Settings tab, then Add.
3. If Bluetooth is on, SYNC begins the pairing process
between your Bluetooth-enabled phone or device and
SYNC. See your phone’s user guide, if necessary.
4. 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 or 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.
Why Do You Need a SYNC Owner Account?
A SYNC owner account gives you 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™. 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 button
. 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.

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

the name and number of the person calling in the display.

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.
