Hands-free calling is one of the main
features of SYNC. While the system

Answering an incoming call.
• Ending a call.
• Dialing a number.
• Redialing.
• Call waiting notification.
• Caller identification.
Other features, such as text messaging
using Bluetooth® and automatic
phonebook download, are
phone-dependent features.

allows you to make and receive hands-free
calls.

and the radio. Shift the transmission into

with questions, such as setting the current
