your vehicle. The touchscreen works the same way as traditional controls,

place. The system provides easy interaction with your cellular phone,
multimedia entertainment, climate controls and navigation system*.

Pairing Your Cell Phone with SYNC
In order to use many of the features of SYNC, you
must first pair and connect your phone with SYNC.
To Pair Your Phone for the First Time

switch on your ignition and radio.

the touchscreen.

cellular phone is in the proper mode.

the directions on the screen. Select SYNC appears
on your device and then a six-digit PIN also
displays. If you are prompted to enter a PIN on
your device, it does not support Secure Simple
Pairing. To pair, enter the PIN displayed on the
touchscreen. Skip the next step. 5.
When SYNC finds your phone, it displays a
six-digit PIN. Add the PIN into your phone.
6. The display indicates when the pairing
is successful.
Note: The system may prompt you to:
Set your phone as the primary or favorite
(the primary phone receives messages
and voicemail).

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

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.

calling with your phone securely put away. With

(phone-dependent feature).
Transfer calls seamlessly from SYNC to phone
as you get in or out of your vehicle.
Note: Your phone allows you to connect
automatically with a 911 Operator in the event of
an accident (you must switch on this feature prior
to an event).

your phone book by pressing the voice button
and when prompted, say a voice command.
