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:

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.
