If you miss a turn, SYNC automatically asks if you want the route
updated. Just say, “Yes” when prompted and the system delivers a new
route to your vehicle.
If your vehicle is equipped with Navigation, SYNC Services downloads
your requested destination to the navigation system. The navigation
system then calculates the route and provides driving instructions. See
theNavigation system section for more information.
Disconnecting from SYNC Services
1. Press and hold the phone button on the steering wheel.
2. Say “Good-bye” from the SYNC Services main menu.
SYNC Services quick tips
Personalizing You can personalize your Services feature to
provide quicker access to your most used or
favorite information. You can save address
points, such as work or home. You can also
save favorite information like sports teams,
such as Detroit Lions, or a news category. You
can learn more about personalization by
logging onto www.SYNCMyRide.com.
Push to interrupt Press the voice button at any time (while
connected to SYNC Services) to interrupt a
voice prompt or an audio clip (such as a
sports report) and say your voice command.
Portable Your subscription is associated with your
Bluetooth-enabled cellular phone number, not
your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). You
can pair and connect your phone to any
vehicle equipped with SYNC Services and
continue enjoying your personalized services.
