BEFORE YOU GET STARTED
1. Set up your owner account at owner.ford.com
(U.S.) or syncmyride.ca (Canada). Register and
you will see which complimentary services you
are eligible for.
2. SYNC uses a wireless connection called
Bluetooth
®

phone. Switch Bluetooth mode on in your
phone’s menu options. This lets your phone
find SYNC. For more details on setting up your
