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
1. Make sure that your vehicle is in park (P) and you
switch on your ignition and radio.
2. Touch Add Phone in the upper left corner of
the touchscreen.
3. Make sure that Bluetooth is set to on and your
cellular phone is in the proper mode.
4. When Find SYNC appears on the display, follow
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).
Download your phone book (a requirement
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

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.
Phone

(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).
Making a Phone Call
Use SYNC to make a phone call to anyone in
your phone book by pressing the voice button
and when prompted, say a voice command.
Note: You can also make phone calls by pressing
the voice button . When prompted, give
the voice command “Dial”, then say the
