SYNC 3 applies the phonetic pronunciation rules of the selected
language to the names stored on your media player or USB flash

ation for these artists.

system is having trouble
recognizing foreign tracks,
artists, albums, genres and

selected language for the instrument
cluster and information and entertainment
display.

the instrument cluster and
information and entertain-
ment display does not

Bluetooth audio, voice
control and voice prompts).
