Safety Information
WARNING
Driving while distracted can result in
loss of vehicle control, crash and injury.
We strongly recommend that you use
extreme caution when using any device that
may take your focus off the road. Your
primary responsibility is the safe operation
of your vehicle. We recommend against the
use of any hand-held device while driving
and encourage the use of voice-operated
systems when possible. Make sure you are
aware of all applicable local laws that may
affect the use of electronic devices while
driving. •
Do not attempt to service or repair the
system. See an authorized dealer.
• Do not operate playing devices if the
power cords or cables are broken, split
or damaged. Place cords and cables out
of the way, so they do not interfere with
the operation of pedals, seats,
compartments or safe driving abilities.
• Do not leave playing devices in your
vehicle during extreme conditions as it
could cause them damage. See your
device's user guide for further
information.
• For your safety, some SYNC functions
are speed-dependent. Their use is limited
to when your vehicle is traveling at
speeds under 3 mph (5 km/h).
Make sure that you review your device's
manual before using it with SYNC. Speed-restricted Features
Some features of this system may be too
difficult to use while your vehicle is moving
so they are restricted from use unless your
vehicle is stationary.
•
Screens crowded with information, such
as Point of Interest reviews and ratings,
SIRIUS Travel Link sports scores, movie
times or ski conditions.
• Any action that requires you to use a
keyboard is restricted, such as entering
a navigation destination or editing
information.
• All lists are limited so the user can view
fewer entries (such as phone contacts or
recent phone call entries).
See the following chart for more specific
examples. Restricted Features

Voice Settings
Voice settings allow you to customize the
level of system interaction, help and
feedback. The system defaults to standard
interaction that uses candidate lists and
confirmation prompts as these provide the
highest level of guidance and feedback. •
Interaction Mode: Novice mode provides
detailed interaction and guidance while
the advanced mode has less audible
interaction and more tone prompts.
• Confirmation Prompts: The system uses
these short questions to confirm your
voice request. If turned off, the system
simply makes a best guess as to what
you requested. The system may still
occasionally ask you to confirm settings.
• Phone and Media Candidate Lists:
Candidate lists are lists of possible results
from your voice commands. The system
creates these lists when it has the same
confidence level of several options based
on your voice command.
To access these settings using the
touchscreen:
1. Press the Settings icon > Settings > then
Voice Control.
2. Select from the following:
• Interaction Mode
• Confirmation Prompts
• Media Candidate Lists

Bluetooth wireless technology support the
following functions:
• Answering an incoming call.
• Ending a call.
• Using privacy mode.
• Dialing a number.
• Redialing. •
Call waiting notification.
• Caller ID.
Other features, such as text messaging using
Bluetooth and automatic phonebook
