Getting Started with 
Your SYNC System 
SYNC is a hands-free, voice 
recognition system used for 
entertainment, information  
and communication.  
SYNC. Say the Word. 
Before You Get Started
1.  Set up your owner account at 
SyncMyRide.com (U.S.) or 
SyncMyRide.ca (Canada).  
Register by following the on-screen 
instructions. After registering, you can 
see what available services you are 
eligible for.
2.  SYNC uses a wireless connection 
called 
 Bluetooth® to communicate 
with your phone. Switch on Bluetooth 
mode in your phone’s menu 
options. This lets your phone find 
SYNC. If you need more details on 
setting up your phone with SYNC, 
visit SyncMyRide.com (U.S.) or 
SyncMyRide.ca (Canada), or your 
phone manufacturer’s website.
Pairing Your Phone with SYNC
In order to use many of the features of 
SYNC, such as making a phone call or 
receiving a text , you must first pair and 
connect your phone with SYNC.
To Pair Your Phone for the First Time
1.   Make sure that your vehicle is in 
park (P), you switch the ignition and 
radio on, and your cellular phone is in 
the proper mode. See your phone’s 
manual, if necessary.
2.  Press the phone button. When the 
display indicates No Phone Found, 
press OK. 
3.  When  Find SYNC appears in the 
display, press OK. 
Note:  If the system prompts you to enter 
a PIN on your cellular phone, it does not 
support Secure Simple Pairing. To pair, 
enter the PIN displayed on the SYNC 
touchscreen, then skip Steps 4 and 5.
4.  When prompted on your phone’s 
display, confirm that the PIN provided 
by SYNC matches the PIN displayed 
on your cellular phone.  5.
 When prompted from SYNC, confirm 
that the PIN provided by SYNC 
matches the PIN that your cellular 
phone displayed. 
6.  The display indicates when the 
pairing is successful.
Note: The system may prompt you  
to set your phone as primary or favorite 
(the primary phone receives messages 
and voicemail); download your phone 
book (a requirement to use the full set  
of voice commands); and switch on  
911 Assist
®.
Tips
  •       Make sure that you accept the 
request from SYNC to access  
your phone.
  •     To pair subsequent phones, please 
refer to Pairing Subsequent Phones  
in the SYNC chapter of your  
Owner’s Manual.
  •      If  you  experience  pairing  problems, 
try performing a clean pairing by 
deleting your services from SYNC 
and deleting the SYNC connection 
from your phone, and then repeat  
the process.

Wiper Operation
Adjust the wiper lever and 
its controls to operate the 
front and rear wipers. 
 •   Single wipe –  
Pull the lever down.
  •   Intermittent wipe –  
Raise the lever upward  
to position 1.
  •   Normal wipe – Raise the 
lever upward to position 2.
  •   High speed wipe –  
Raise the lever to position 
3, its highest position.
Intermittent Wipe
Putting the wiper lever in 
intermittent mode allows 
the driver to set the amount 
of time between wipes. 
Use the rotary control on  the wiper lever to adjust the 
intermittent wipe intervals.
 
•    Rotate the control upward 
for short wipe intervals.
  •   Rotate the control 
downward for long  
wipe intervals.
Speed Dependent 
Wipers
When your vehicle speed 
increases, the interval 
between wipes decreases.
Autowipers*
The wipers function when 
the system detects moisture 
on the windshield, and 
adjusts the wiper speed 
automatically. Use the 
rotary control to adjust the 
sensitivity of the rain sensor. 
 •   Low sensitivity – The 
wipers automatically 
operate when the sensor 
detects a large amount of 
moisture on the windshield. 
  •   High sensitivity – The 
wipers automatically 
operate when the sensor  detects a small amount 
of moisture on the 
windshield. 
Note: Keep the outside of 
the windshield clean. Dirt, 
bugs and excessive road 
debris can prevent it from 
detecting rain. 
To Reduce Smearing, We 
Recommend the Following
  Lower the sensitivity of  
the autowipers.
  •   Switch to normal or  
high-speed wipe.
  •   Switch the autowipers off.
Note: Make sure you switch 
off the windshield wipers 
before entering a car wash.
Washing the 
Windshield

washer, pull the wiper lever 
toward you.  •   For a short spray, pull  
and release.   
•   For a longer spray, pull 
and hold the wiper lever 
toward you. Release the 
lever once the windshield 
is clear of dirt or debris. 
Rear Window Wiper
To operate, press the rocker 
switch on the end of the 
lever to change between 
off, intermittent and low 
speed. After you shift into 
reverse (R) and switch the 
wipers on, the rear wiper 
automatically turns on to 
intermittent speed.
Rear Window Washer
To use the rear window 
washer, push the wiper lever 
away from you. When you 
release the lever, the wiper 
operates for a short time.
