PAIRING YOUR PHONE WITH SYNC
Hands-free calling is one of the main features of SYNC. While the
system supports a variety of features, many are dependent on your
phone’s functionality.
To Pair Your Phone for the First Time:
1. Make sure that your vehicle is in park (P) and switch your ignition and
radio on.
2. Press the phone button . When the display indicates there is no
phone paired, press the
OK
button.
3. When the display shows
Find SYNC
, select
OK
. You can then put
your phone into
Bluetooth
discovery mode. See your device’s manual
if necessary.
4. When prompted on your phone’s display, enter the six-digit PIN
provided by SYNC on the radio display. The display indicates when the
pairing is successful.
Depending on your phone’s capability and your market, the system
may prompt you with questions, such as setting the current
phone as the primary phone (the phone SYNC automatically
tries to connect with first upon vehicle start-up) and downloading
your phone book. To pair subsequent phones, please refer to
