GENERAL TIPS VOICE COMMANDS
TIPS FOR USING VOICE
Upon pressing
on the
steering wheel, make sure
to wait for the SYNC® “tone”
before speaking a command.
Speak commands in a smooth,
confi dent and normal pace,
directing your voice at the
SYNC microphone located in
the headliner. Avoid “ahhs”
or “umms” when speaking
a command.
Say, “What can I say?” if you need
an audible list of voice commands
for the current mode (e.g., Phone,
Radio, Navigation, USB).
Ensure the vehicle interior
is quiet (windows closed,
passengers aren’t talking).
TOUCH THE

VOICE BUTTON ON THE STEERING WHEEL, AND THEN SAY:

• Clean the display with a clean, soft cloth such as
