Getting Started with
Your SYNC System
SYNC is a hands-free, voice
recognition system used for
entertainment, information
and communication.
SYNC. Say the Word.
Before You Get Started
1. Set up your owner account
at owner.ford.com (U.S.) or
SyncMyRide.ca (Canada).
Register by following the
on-screen instructions. After
registering, you can see what
available services you are
eligible for.
2. SYNC uses a wireless
connection called
Bluetooth®
to communicate with your phone.
Turn Bluetooth mode on in your
phone’s menu options. This lets
your phone find SYNC. If you
need more details on setting
up your phone with SYNC, visit
owner.ford.com (U.S.) or
SyncMyRide.ca (Canada), or your
phone manufacturer’s website.
Pairing Your Phone
with SYNC
In order to use many of the features
of SYNC, you must first pair and
connect your phone with SYNC.
Note: If you have SYNC 3*, see the
pairing instructions on page 8.
To Pair Your Phone for the First Time
1. Make sure that your vehicle is in
park (P) or neutral (N) with the
parking brake applied (for vehicles
with manual transmissions only)
and you switch your ignition and
radio on.
2. Press the phone button. When
the display indicates no phone is
paired, press OK.
3. When Find SYNC appears in the
display, press OK.
4. Put your phone into Bluetooth
discovery mode. See your phone’s
user guide, if necessary.
5. When prompted on your phone’s
display, enter the six-digit PIN
provided by SYNC in the
radio display.
Why Do You Need a SYNC Owner Account?
A SYNC owner account is required to receive the latest
software updates and, if you have questions, you get free
customer support.
Note: Your SYNC system may offer advanced features such
as AppLink
TM. Some services may not be available in your
area. Visit the website or call the toll-free number for more
information. See the inside front cover of this guide for details.

Using Your Phone with SYNC
Note: You must download your phone book to make phone
calls with voice commands by name.
Making a Phone Call
Use SYNC to make a phone call to anyone in your phone
book by pressing the voice control
. When prompted,
give a voice command.
For example, you could say “Call Jake Smith at home”.
SYNC repeats the command back to you and dials
the number.
Note: You can also make phone calls by pressing the voice
button
. When prompted, give the voice command “Dial”,
then say the phone number.
The System May Prompt You to

• Set your phone as primary or
favorite (the primary phone
receives messages
and voicemail).
• Download your phone book
(required to use the full
set of voice commands).
• Turn on 911 Assist
®.
Tips
• Make sure you accept the
request from SYNC to access
your phone.
• To pair subsequent phones,
please refer to Pairing
Subsequent Phones in the SYNC
chapter of your Owner’s Manual.
• If you experience pairing
problems, try performing a clean
pairing by deleting your device
from SYNC, deleting the SYNC
connection from your phone, and
then repeating the Pairing Your
Phone with SYNC process. Answering Incoming Calls
Whenever you have an incoming call, the display
shows the name and number of the person calling.
Press the phone button to answer an incoming
call. You can hang up at any time by pressing the
phone button
.
Using SYNC to Access Digital Media
Plug in your USB media devices such as phones
and MP3 players, and use SYNC to play all of your
favorite music.
Note: SYNC indexes your music. The more music that is
stored on your device, the longer it takes SYNC to index.
Using Voice Commands to Play Music

2. Press the voice control
. When prompted,
say “USB”, and then follow-up with a
voice command.
