 Pairing your phone for the first time   
WARNING: Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle control, accident and injury. 
Ford strongly recommends that drivers use extreme caution when using any device that may 
take their focus off the road.  The driver’s primary responsibility is the safe operation of their 
vehicle. Only use cell phones and other devices not essential to the driving task when it is safe 
to do so. 
The first thing you must do to use the phone features of SYNC is to ‘pair’ your Bluetooth enabled 
cellular phone with SYNC.  This allows your phone to communicate with the hands-free system.  
To pair your phone for the first time:
1.   Ensure that the vehicle ignition and radio are on and that your vehicle is in Park (P).
2.     Press  
  to enter the PHONE MENU.  SYNC will attempt to connect and the radio 
display will indicate that no phone is paired.
3.   Press OK.  ADD DEVICES will appear in the radio display.
    Note:  Press 
/ repeatedly if ADD DEVICES does not first appear in the   
radio display.
4.   Press OK to confirm your selection and enter the ADD DEVICES MENU.  
5.     When FIND SYNC appears in the radio display, press OK.  Follow the instructions in  
your cellular phone’s user guide to put your phone into Bluetooth discovery mode.    
A six digit PIN will appear in the radio display.  
6.   When prompted on your phone’s display, enter the six digit PIN provided by SYNC.
         
         
7.  The radio display will read CONNECTED when the pairing process   
  is successful.  
Congratulations!  Your phone is now successfully paired to SYNC.  Depending on 
your phone’s capability, you may be prompted on your phone’s display or radio 
display with additional options.  For further information, refer to your phone’s 
user guide and visit www.SyncMyRide.com.
Note:  You can, at any time, press and hold  
  to exit phone mode and listen   
to other audio sources.  You can also press VOICE or  and say “Help” for   
more options.
     Stay connected 
The voice -activated, hands-free calling system means you can focus on driving without 
putting everything else on hold.  The system supports you with:
•      Voice activated, hands-free calling:  To initiate a call, press  or VOICE, then say   
“Phone.”  When prompted, say “Call” <phonebook name> or say “Dial” and, when 
prompted, the desired number.  When SYNC confirms the number, say “DIAL” again.   
SYNC will automatically connect with the names in your mobile phone’s contact list.   
To answer incoming calls, simply press 
.  To end a call, press and hold .
•    Uninterrupted connections while entering your vehicle:  In the middle of a phone call 
while  entering your car?  No need to hang up.  If your phone has been previously paired, 
SYNC
 will  instantly connect to your Bluetooth  phone and automatically transfer the call 
to a hands-free   environment.  (The system can also transfer the call back to your phone 
as you exit your vehicle.)
•     Audible text messages:  If your connected cell phone supports text messaging   
  downloads via Bluetooth wireless technology, you can use SYNC’s text messaging   
  feature.  If you receive a text message while driving, press OK and SYNC  will read it to  
  you out loud.  The system is smart enough to translate commonly used text messaging  
  expressions such as “LOL” and “ :) ”.  You can even reply with a list of predefined responses.

WHAT IS SYNC? 
Thank you for purchasing SYNC! 
SYNC is a hands-free communications and entertainment system that 
literally ‘syncs up’ with all other multimedia systems in your vehicle.
SYNC delivers convenience with voice activated calling and hands-free
conversations, digital media player command and control as well as easy
to use voice commands. The world outside your vehicle cabin may be
chaotic, but inside, with SYNC, it’s always a smooth ride. All you have to
do is sync it and stow it. We’ll take care of the rest. 
Welcome to the new world of ingenuity and passion - technology that is 
both fun and functional. Welcome to SYNC.

Search/Play Genre:You can search for and play a specific genre (type) 
of music. SYNC will search all the data from your indexed music and, if
available, will begin to play that type of music.
Note:  You can only play genres of music which are present in the 
GENRE metadata tags that you have on your digital media player. 
Similar music:  You can tell the system to play music ‘similar’ to what 
you are currently playing from the USB port. SYNC will use the metadata
information of each indexed song to compile a playlist for you. 
Search/play artist/track/album:  You can search for a specific 
artist/track or album from the music SYNC has indexed through the USB
port. 
Refine:  This allows you to ‘refine’ your previous commands. For 
example, if you told SYNC to search and play all music by a certain
artist, you could then tell SYNC to “refine album” and choose a specific
album from the list to view. If you then select ‘Play’, the system will only
play music from that specific album.
