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
®.

request from SYNC to access  
your phone.

refer to Pairing Subsequent Phones  
in the SYNC chapter of your  
Owner’s Manual.
  •      If  you  experience  pairing  problems,
