SYNC is a hands-free, voice recognition system used for
entertainment, information and communication.
SYNC. Say the Word.
Before You Get Started
1) Visit SyncMyRide.com (U.S.) or SyncMyRide.ca (Canada) to set up
your owner account. 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. Turn 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.
PAIRING YOUR PHONE WITH SYNC
In order to use many of the features of SYNC, 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) and you switch on your
ignition and radio.
2) Press the phone button
. When the display indicates no phone is
paired, press OK.
3) When Find SYNC appears in the display, press OK.
4) Put your phone into Bluetooth discovery mode. See your phone’s user
guide, if necessary.
5) When prompted on your phone’s display, enter the six-digit PIN
provided by SYNC in the radio display.
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).
- 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 SYN C chapter of your Owner’s Manual.
- If you experience pairing problems, try performing a clean pairing by
deleting your device from SYNC, deleting the SYNC connection from
your phone, and then repeating the process.
USING VOICE COMMANDS
Every time you want to give SYNC a voice command, you must first press
the voice button . When prompted, speak your voice command. For a
list of voice commands, say “What can I say?”.
Tips
- Make sure the interior of the vehicle is as quiet as possible.
- After pressing the voice button, wait until after the tone sounds and
“Listening” appears in your vehicle’s display before saying a command.
- Speak naturally, without long pauses between words.
- At any time, you can interrupt the system while it is speaking by
pressing the voice button
.
GETTING STARTED WITH YOUR SYNC® SYSTE MFLEX
USING YOUR PHONE WITH SYNC
Note: Enter your phone book contacts with both first and last
names to increase the ability of SYNC to select the correct
contact. Remember to say the contact name exactly as it is listed
in your phone book.
Making a Phone Call
Use SYNC to make a phone call to anyone in your phone book by
pressing the voice button
. When prompted, give a voice command.
For example, you could say “Call Jake Smith at home”. SYNC repeats the
command back to you and dials the number.
Note: You can also make phone calls from outside of your address
book by pressing the voice button
. When prompted, give 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 any time by pressing and
holding the phone button
.
Do Not Disturb Mode
This feature blocks incoming calls and text messages and sends them
to your voice mail and saves text messages for later. You still have access
to outgoing calls when this feature is active. Say the voice command
“Do not disturb on” to enable and “Do not disturb off” to di\
sable.
USING SYNC TO ACCESS DIGITAL MEDIA
SYNC has a media hub with multiple inputs allowing you to access
personal media from your digital devices. Plug in your USB media
devices such as phones and MP3 players, and use SYNC to play all of
your favorite music.
Note: SYNC indexes your music. The more stored information
you have on your USB device, the longer it takes SYNC to index.
Using Voice Commands to Play Music
1) Plug your media player into your USB port.
2) Press the voice button
. When prompted, say “USB”, then
follow-up saying one of the voice commands.
3) The command repeats back to you and the selected item plays.

that add new places, directions and information, and if you have
questions, you’ll get free customer support. Visit the website or call the
toll-free number for more information. See the inside front cover of thi\
s

EASY FUEL® SYSTE M
With this system, open the fuel door, 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 wait time allows residual fuel in
the nozzle to drain into the tank. When using a portable fuel
container, slowly insert the fuel funnel (located in the spare
tire compartment) and pour the fuel into the funnel.
Note: Do not use aftermarket funnels as they do not work with the Easy Fuel system and may
cause damage. Properly clean the funnel after each use.
FUEL TANK CAPACITY/FUEL INFO
Your vehicle has an 18.6 gallon (70.4L) fuel tank capacity. Use only “Regular” unleaded gasoline with
an octane rating of 87 or higher. Do not use E85 fuels because your vehicle was not designed
to run on fuels with more than 15% ethanol.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
Your vehicle displays a low tire pressure warning light in your instrument cluster if one or more
of your tires are significantly under-inflated. If this happens, stop and check your tires as soon as
possible. Inflate them to the proper pressure. Refer to the Inflating Your Tires section in the Wheels
and Tires chapter of your Owner’s Manual for more information.
LOCATION OF SPARE TIRE AND TOOLS
Your spare tire and tools are beneath the third-row seats under the flo\
or panel. You must unstow the
seats to access. We designed the spare tire for emergency use only and strongly advise you\
to replace
it as soon as possible. For complete details on changing your tire, refer to Changing a Road Wheel
section in the Wheels and Tires chapter of your Owner’s Manual.

as safety information and the proper equipment to use
while towing.
Note: Do not tow with the mini spare tire installed or
exceed the GVWR or the GAWR specified on the
Safety Compliance Certification Label.
TRAILER SWAY CONTROL *
This system helps to reduce trailer sway while towing, by
applying brake force to individual wheels and, if necessary,
reducing engine power. If the trailer does begin to sway,
Trailer Sway Reduce Speed appears in the information
display. Safely pull to the side of the road and check that
your equipment is properly secured.
TOWING YOUR FLEX
Towing your vehicle behind an RV or any other vehicle may
be limited. Refer to Towing the Vehicle on Four Wheels in
the Towing chapter of your Owner’s Manual.

When one or both of your rear windows are open, you may
hear a wind throb or buffeting noise. To alleviate this, lower
a front window until the noise subsides.
FUEL-EFFICIENT TRANSMISSION
We designed your vehicle for improved fuel economy by
reducing fuel usage while you coast or decelerate. You may
perceive a light to medium braking sensation when you
remove your foot from the accelerator pedal.
SOS POST-CRASH ALERT SYSTEM™

the horn (intermittently) in the event of a serious impact that
deploys an airbag equipped on your vehicle.
The horn and lamps turn off when:
