on your device. To pair, enter the PIN
displayed on the touchscreen.
4. Confirm that the SYNC-provided PIN
matches the PIN displayed on your
cellular phone. The display indicates
when the pairing is successful.

controls, knobs and buttons do. Press the various corners on your touchscreen to personalize the many features and settings of your
vehicle all in one place, and press the home icon
at any time to return to your home screen. The system provides easy interaction
with your cellular phone, multimedia entertainment, climate controls and navigation system*.

only when the vehicle is in

vehicle rapidly approaches another
vehicle, a red warning light flashes and
a tone sounds.
If the risk of collision continues to

system does not automatically activate
the brakes, but if you press the brake
pedal even lightly, the brakes apply full
stopping power.
