Put your phone into Bluetooth discovery mode. See your phone’s manual, if necessary .
2. Press the
button. When the display indicates no phone paired, press OK.

display, enter the six-digit PIN provided by SYNC in the radio display .
4. The display indicates when the pairing is successful.
The System May Prompt You to

USING YOUR CELL
PHONE WITH SYNC
NOTE Enter your phone book contacts
with both first and last names to increase
the ability of SYNC to select the correct
contact. Remember to say the contact
name exactly as you listed it in your
phone book.
Making a Phone Call
Use SYNC to make a phone call to anyone
in your phone book by pulling the voice
control
and when prompted, give
a voice command. For a list of voice
commands, say “What can I say?”.
For example, you could say “Call Jake Smith
at home”. SYNC repeats the command
back to you and dials the number.
NOTE You can make phone calls by
pulling the voice control
and when
prompted, give the voice command “Dial”,
then say the phone number.
Answering Incoming Calls
Whenever you have an incoming call, the
name and number of the person calling
appears in the display. Press the
button
to answer an incoming call. You can hang
up at any time by pressing and holding the
button.
USING SYNC TO
ACCESS DIGITAL MEDIA

phones, flash drives and MP3 players, and
use SYNC to play all of your favorite music.

Using Voice Commands to Play Music
1. Plug your media player into your
USB port.
2. Pull the voice control
. When
prompted, say “USB”, then follow-up
with a voice command.

Before You Get Started

owner.ford.com (U.S.) or
