SYNC
®
Technology
(1) Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle
control. Only use mobile phones and other devices,
even with voice commands, when it’s safe to do so.
(2) The Bluetooth word mark is a trademark of the
Bluetooth, SIG, Inc.
(3)
Traffic alerts and turn-by-turn directions
available in select markets. Standard text
messaging data rates may apply.
(4) The vehicle electrical system (including the battery),
the wireless service provider’s signal and a connected
mobile phone all must be available and operating
for 911 Assist to function properly. These systems
may become damaged in a crash. The paired mobile
phone must be connected to SYNC and the 911 Assist
feature enabled for 911 to be dialed.
