SYNC 3 only supports four languages in a single module for textdisplay, voice control and voice prompts. The country where youbought your vehicle dictates the four languages based on the mostpopular languages spoken. If the selected language is not available,SYNC 3 remains in the current active language.SYNC 3 does not support the currentlyselected language for the instrumentcluster and information and entertainmentdisplay.
The language selected forthe instrument cluster andinformation and entertain-ment display does notmatch the SYNC 3language (phone, USB,Bluetooth audio, voicecontrol and voice prompts).
SYNC 3 offers several new voice control features for a wide range oflanguages. Dialing a contact name directly from the phonebookwithout pre-recording (for example, “call John Smith”) or selecting atrack, artist, album, genre or playlist directly from your media player(for example, "play artist Madonna").
