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 services you  
may be eligible for.
 2.    SYNC uses a wireless connection called 
 Bluetooth® to 
communicate with your phone. Switch Bluetooth mode on  
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.

Note: The system may prompt you to:
  •   Set your phone as the primary 
or favorite (the primary phone 
receives messages and voicemail).
  •   Download your phone book  
(a requirement to use the full  
set of voice commands).
  • Switch on 911 Assist
®.
Tips
 •  Make sure 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:   
1) deleting your phone from SYNC; 
2) deleting the SYNC connection 
from your phone; and 3) repeating 
the Pairing Your Phone with 
SYNC process.
 Using Your Phone with SYNC 
Note: You must download your phone 
book to make phone calls with voice 
commands by name.

to anyone in your phone book by 
pressing the voice button 
 and 
when prompted, say any of the 
following voice commands:

command back to you and dials  
the number.

by giving the voice command Dial, 
then verbally say the phone number.
Answering Incoming Calls
Whenever you have an incoming call, 
the name and number of the person 
calling appears in your display. Press 
the phone button
  to answer an 
incoming call. You can hang up at

not disturb on to enable and Do not 
disturb off to disable.
Note: Using the display, you can 
choose from privacy mode (listen

 PowerShift Automatic Transmission* 
We designed this transmission for  
fun-to-drive performance and exceptional 
fuel efficiency, by using the advantages  
of a manual transmission with the  
convenience of an automatic transmission. 
You may notice the following  
characteristics of this technology:
  •  Mechanical noises after switching the 
engine off, opening the driver door 
and during some transmission shifting 
events. These are normal and do not cause damage.
  •  Firm gearshifts when moving the accelerator pedal back  
and forth quickly.
Your transmission continuously makes electronic adjustments 
to optimize shift quality and acceleration performance. It makes 
most of the adjustments during the first 1,000 miles (1610 
kilometers) of operation. During this break-in period, you may 
feel slight vibrations when accelerating your vehicle from low 
speeds. See the Transmission chapter of your Owner's Manual 
for details.
 SelectShift Automatic   Transmission* 
This transmission gives you the ability to 
manually change gears if you’d like.
To Use 
  •  Move the gearshift lever from drive (D)  
to sport (S).
 •    Activate SelectShift by using the thumb 
toggle located on the side of your  
gearshift lever to make manual shifts. 
  •  Press the (+) button to upshift. Press  
the (–) button to downshift.
 Hill Start Assist* 
The system makes it easier to pull away when you park your 
vehicle on a slope without using the parking brake. When active, 
this feature allows your vehicle to remain stationary on a slope 
for up to two to three seconds after you release the brake 
pedal. This short period gives you time to move your foot to the 
accelerator and pull away. This feature activates automatically 
if the sensors detect that the vehicle is on a slope.

 Rear View Camera System with Parking Aid* 
This system provides 
a video image of the 
area behind the vehicle. 
Switch on your audio 
system and ignition, and 
the display appears in 
the touchscreen when 
the vehicle is in reverse 
(R). The system uses 
green, yellow and red guides to alert you of your proximity to 
objects. The camera is on the liftgate (near the handle) or on 
the trunk near the license plate bracket. 
 Heated Exterior Mirrors* 
The outside mirrors have 
heating elements that 
defrost or de-mist the 
mirror glass. The feature 
turns on automatically 
when you switch on the  
rear defrost.
 Rear Sensing System* 
The system sounds an audible 
warning tone if there is an 
obstacle near the vehicle’s rear 
bumpers. As the vehicle moves 
closer to the obstacle, the rate 
of the warning tone increases in 
frequency. The rear sensors are 
active only when the vehicle is in 
reverse (R), and detects objects 
up to 6 feet (1.8 meters) away, 
with decreased coverage at the 
outer corners of the bumper. See the Parking Aids chapter in 
your Owner’s Manual for complete information  
on your vehicle’s sensing systems.
Note: Visibility aids do not replace the need to watch where 
the vehicle is moving. Refer to your Owner’s Manual for safety 
information, more details and limitations.
