Pairing Your Cell Phone with SYNC
In order to use many of the features of SYNC, such as making a phone call or receiving a
text, you must first connect or pair your phone with SYNC.
To Pair Your Cell Phone for the First Time
1. Make sure that your vehicle is in park (P) or neutral (N) with the parking brake applied
(with manual transmission only), then switch your ignition and radio on. Switch on
your phone's Bluetooth
® feature before starting the pairing process. See your device's
manual, if necessary.
2. Press the phone button
. When the display indicates there is no paired phone, select
the option to add a phone.
3. When a message to begin pairing appears in the audio display, search for SYNC on your
phone to start the pairing process.
4. When prompted on your phone's display, enter the six-digit PIN provided by the system
in the audio display.
5. The display indicates when the pairing is successful.
The System May Prompt You to
» Set your phone as the primary/favorite (the primary phone receives messages
and voicemail).
» Download your phone book (a requirement to use the full set of voice commands).
» Switch on 911 Assist
®.
TIPS
» Make sure you accept the request
from SYNC to access your phone.
» To pair subsequent phones, please
refer to Using SYNC with Your Phone
section in the SYNC chapter of your
Owner’s Manual.
» If you experience pairing problems, try
performing a clean pairing by deleting
your services from SYNC, deleting your
phone pairing from SYNC, and then
repeating the Pairing Your Cell Phone
with SYNC process.
