Linking a Personal Profile to Your Remote
Control or Mobile Device
You can save preset memory positions for
up to three remote controls, by assigning a
remote control to a personal profile in your
SYNC 3. You can assign three additional
remote controls set up as Phone as a Key.
See Keys and Remote Controls (page 66).
Use the SYNC display to link a remote
control, mobile device or both to a personal
profile.
1. Switch the ignition on and leave the vehicle in park (P).
2. Select the Personal Profiles button under
Settings.
3. Touch the arrow for the profile you wish to link to a remote control or mobile
device.
4. Select the correct button to link a remote
control, mobile device, or both.
5. Follow the instructions on the display. Note:
To successfully link a mobile device,
the mobile device must be present in your
vehicle, and must have previously been
setup as a remote control for your vehicle.
Note: If more than one linked remote control
is in range, the memory function moves to
the settings of the first key to initiate a
memory recall.
Note: The guest profile consists of existing
settings when there is no driver profile
created. After you create a driver profile, the
guest profile serves as an additional driver
profile.
Note: You cannot link a personalized name,
a memory seat button or a remote control
to a guest profile.
Personal Settings
Personal Profiles allow you to personalize
positional settings such as seats and mirrors,
as well as non-positional settings such as
radio, navigation, driver assist and system
settings.
See SYNC™ 3 (page 492). You
cannot change the menu locations and
settings of those personalized features with
Personal Profiles. Note:
Non-positional settings are saved to
the active driver profile whenever you
change a setting.
Note: You can save positional settings if you
press and hold a memory seat button.
Recalling and Changing a Profile
You can recall a profile by:
• Using a remote control or mobile device
that has been linked to a driver profile to
access the remote start feature, press an
unlock button or open the door with the
exterior door handle.
• Pressing a memory seat button that has
been linked to a driver profile.
• Using the Personal Profiles menu on the
SYNC touchscreen.
Note: The recalled profile replaces the
previously active profile. If the active profile
is not your preferred profile, you can change
it using any of the three methods listed.

backrest. This could damage the heated
seat element and cause it to overheat.
Failure to follow this instruction could result
in personal injury. WARNING:

GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING: Extended idling at high
engine speeds can produce very high
temperatures in the engine and exhaust
system, creating the risk of fire or other
damage. WARNING:
Do not park, idle or drive
your vehicle on dry grass or other dry
ground cover. The emission system heats
up the engine compartment and exhaust
system, creating the risk of fire. WARNING:
Do not start the engine
in a closed garage or in other enclosed
areas. Exhaust fumes can be toxic. Always
open the garage door before you start the
engine. WARNING: Exhaust leaks may result
in entry of harmful and potentially lethal
fumes into the passenger compartment. If
you smell exhaust fumes inside your
vehicle, have your vehicle inspected
immediately. Do not drive if you smell
exhaust fumes.
If you disconnect the battery, your vehicle
may exhibit some unusual driving
characteristics for approximately 5 mi (8 km)
after you reconnect it. This is because the
engine management system must realign
itself with the engine. You can disregard any
unusual driving characteristics during this
period.
The powertrain control system meets all
Canadian interference-causing equipment
standard requirements regulating the
impulse electrical field or radio noise.
When you start the engine, avoid pressing
the accelerator pedal before and during
operation. Only use the accelerator pedal
when you have difficulty starting the engine. KEYLESS STARTING
Note:
The system may not function if the
remote control is close to metal objects or
electronic devices, for example keys or a
cell phone.
Note: A valid remote control must be located
inside your vehicle to switch the ignition on
and start your vehicle.
Note: If the remote remains motionless for
40 or more seconds you need to move the
remote for the passive entry feature to
function. If the remote remains motionless
for 8 or more hours you need to move the
remote for the push button start feature to
function.

STARTING A GASOLINE ENGINE
When you start the engine, the idle speed
increases. This helps to warm up the
engine. If the engine idle speed does not
slow down, have your vehicle checked as
soon as possible. Note:
You can crank the engine for a total
of 60 seconds without the engine starting
before the starting system temporarily
disables. The 60 seconds does not have to
be all at once. For example, if you crank the
engine three times for 20 seconds each time,
without the engine starting, you reached the
60-second time limit. A message appears in
the information display alerting you that you
exceeded the cranking time. You cannot
attempt to start the engine for at least 15
minutes. After 15 minutes, you are limited to
a 15-second engine cranking time. You need
to wait 60 minutes before you can crank the
engine for 60 seconds again.
Before starting your vehicle, check the
following:
• Make sure all occupants have fastened
their seatbelts.
• Make sure the headlamps and electrical
accessories are off.
• Make sure the parking brake is on.
• Make sure the transmission is in park (P).
• Switch the ignition on.
Note: Do not touch the accelerator pedal.
