settings of your vehicle all in one place, and press the home icon
at any time to return to your home screen. The system provides

PHONE
Voice-control your phone for hands-free
calling with your phone securely tucked
away. With SYNC, you do not need to
know the phone number. Just say the
name of the person you want from
your contacts.
Your phone connects you with many
other features:
• Automatically connects with a 911
operator in the event of an accident
(you must switch this feature on prior
to the event).
• Transfer calls seamlessly from SYNC
to your phone as you get in or out of
your vehicle.
Refer to the SYNC chapter of your
Owner’s Manual for complete details.

is by voice. 1.

street address”.
2. The system asks you to say the
full address and then displays an
example on-screen.

naturally, such as: “One two three
Main Street, Anytown”.
You can also use the touchscreen to enter
a destination and narrow your choices by
city or street as you type.
You can choose from up to three different
types of routes:
• Fastest: Uses the fastest moving
roads possible.
• Shortest: Uses the shortest
distance possible.
• Eco (EcoRoute): Uses the most
fuel-efficient route.
Tips
• Save your favorite locations by
touching Save to Favorites.
• Change your map views from Direction
Headed, North Up or 3-D.

EASY FUEL® SYSTEM
With this system, push the fuel door
to open, insert the nozzle and begin
fueling. It is self-sealing and therefore
protected against dust, dirt, water, snow
and ice. Wait 10 seconds from the time
the refueling nozzle shuts off until you
remove the nozzle from the vehicle. This
time allows residual fuel in the nozzle to
drain into the tank.
NOTE: When using a portable fuel
container, slowly insert the fuel funnel
(located in the spare tire compartment),
and pour the fuel into the funnel. Do not
use aftermarket funnels as they will not
work with the Easy Fuel system and
may cause damage. Properly clean the
funnel after each use.
