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.

The display is located on the center of your
instrument cluster. It allows you to view and
make minor adjustments to active modes
without taking your hands off the wheel. For
example:
•
In entertainment mode, you can view
what is now playing, change the audio
source, select presets and make some
adjustments.
• In navigation mode (if equipped), you can
view the current route or activate a route.
• In phone mode, you can accept or reject
an incoming call. Use the OK and arrow buttons on the right
side of your steering wheel to scroll through
the available modes. The selection menu expands and different
options appear.
•
Press the up and down arrows to scroll
through the modes.
• Press the right arrow to enter the mode.
• Press the left or right arrows to make
adjustments within the chosen mode.
• Press
OK to confirm your selection.
Note: If your vehicle is not equipped with
Navigation, Compass appears in the display
instead of Navigation. If you press the right
arrow to go into the Compass menu, you can
see the compass graphic. The compass
displays the direction in which the vehicle is
traveling, not true direction (for example, if
the vehicle is traveling west, the middle of
the compass graphic displays west; north
displays to the left of west though its true
direction is to the right of west). Using Voice Recognition
This system helps you control many features
using voice commands. This allows you to
keep your hands on the wheel and focus on
what is in front of you. The system provides
feedback through audible tones, prompts,
questions and spoken confirmations
depending on the situation and the chosen
level of interaction (voice settings).
The system also asks short questions
(confirmation prompts) when it is not sure of
your request or when there are multiple
possible responses to your request.
When using voice commands, words and
icons may appear in the lower left status bar
indicating the status of the voice session
(such as Listening, Success, Failed, Paused
or Try Again).
How to Use Voice Commands with Your
System
Press the voice icon. After the
tone, speak your command clearly.

Hands-free calling is one of the main features
of SYNC. Once you pair your phone, you can
access many options using the touchscreen
or voice commands. While the system
supports a variety of features, many are
dependent on your cellular phone ’s
functionality.
At a minimum, most cellular phones with
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
download, are phone-dependent features.
To check your phone ’s compatibility, see
your device ’s manual and visit
www.SYNCMyRide.com,
www.SYNCMyRide.ca or
www.syncmaroute.ca. Pairing Your Phone for the First Time WARNING

Note:
When the system is controlling the fan speed automatically, all the fan speed indicators turn off.
Recirculated air:
Touch the button to switch between outside air and recirculated air. When you select recirculated air, the air
currently in the passenger compartment recirculates. This may reduce the\
time needed to cool the interior (when used with A/C)
and may reduce unwanted odors from entering your vehicle.
D
Note:
Recirculated air may turn off automatically (or be prevented from turnin\
g on) in all airflow modes except MAX A/C to reduce
risk of fogging. Recirculated air may also turn on and off automatically in Panel or Panel and Floor airflow modes during hot weather
in order to improve cooling efficiency.
MAX A/C:
Touch the button to maximize cooling. Recirculated air flows through the instrument panel vents, air conditioni\
ng
automatically turns on, and the fan automatically adjusts to the highest\
speed.
E
A/C:
Touch the button to switch the air conditioning compressor on or off. Use air conditioning with recirculated air to improve
cooling performance and efficiency.
F
Note:
In certain conditions (such as when using Max Defrost), the air condi\
tioning compressor may continue to operate even after
you switch off the air conditioning with the A/C button.
AUTO:
Touch the button to switch on automatic operation. Select the desired tem\
perature using the temperature control. The
system adjusts fan speed, air distribution, air conditioning operation, \
and selects outside air or recirculated air to heat or cool the
vehicle in order to maintain the desired temperature. You can also use the
AUTO button to switch off dual zone operation by
touching and holding the button for more than two seconds.
G
Heated rear window:
Turns the heated rear window on and off. See Heated Windows and Mirrors (page 135).
H
Air distribution control:
Touch these buttons to switch airflow from the windshield, instrument pan\
el, or footwell vents on or off.

(when available). 2D city maps show detailed outlines of
buildings, visible land use and land elements
and detailed railway infrastructure for the
most essential cities around the globe. These
maps also contain features, such as town
blocks, building footprints and railways.
3D landmarks appear as clear, visible objects
that are typically recognizable and have a
certain tourist value. The 3D landmarks
appear in 3D map mode only. Coverage
varies and improves with updated map
releases.
Change the appearance of the map display
by repeatedly pressing the arrow button in
the upper left corner of the screen. It toggles
between three different map modes:
Heading up, North up and 3D.
Heading up (2D map) always shows
the direction of forward travel to be
upward on the screen. This view is
available for map scales up to 2.5 miles (4
kilometers). The system remembers this
setting for larger map scales, but shows the
map in North up only. If the scale returns
below this level, the system restores Heading
up.
