Hands-free calling is one of the main features
of SYNC. Once you pair your phone, you can
access many options using the touchscreen
or voice commands. While the system
supports a variety of features, many are
dependent on your cellular phone
’s
functionality.
At a minimum, most cellular phones with
Bluetooth wireless technology support the
following functions:
• Answering an incoming call.
• Ending a call.
• Using privacy mode.
• Dialing a number.
• Redialing.
• Call waiting notification.
• Caller ID.
Other features, such as text messaging using
Bluetooth and automatic phonebook
download, are phone-dependent features.

911 Assist (If Equipped)
WARNINGS
Unless the 911 Assist setting is set on
before a crash, the system will not dial
for help, which could delay response time,
potentially increasing the risk of serious
injury or death after a crash. Do not wait for 911 Assist to make an
emergency call if you can do it yourself.
Dial emergency services immediately to
avoid delayed response time, which could
increase the risk of serious injury or death
after a crash. If you do not hear 911 Assist
within five seconds of the crash, the system
or phone may be damaged or non-functional. Always place your phone in a secure
location in your vehicle so it does not
become a projectile or damaged in a crash.
Failure to do so may cause serious injury to
someone or damage the phone, which could
prevent 911 Assist from working properly. Note:
The SYNC 911 Assist feature must be
set on prior to the incident. Note:
Before setting this feature on, make
sure that you read the 911 Assist Privacy
Notice later in this section for important
information.
Note: If any user turns 911 Assist on or off,
that setting applies for all paired phones. If
911 Assist is turned off, either a voice
message plays or a display message (or
icon) comes on (or both) when your vehicle
is started after a previously paired phone
connects.
Note: Every phone operates differently.
While SYNC 911 Assist works with most
cellular phones, some may have trouble
using this feature.
If a crash deploys an airbag (excludes knee
airbags and rear inflatable safety belts [if
equipped]) or activates the fuel pump
shut-off, your SYNC-equipped vehicle may
be able to contact emergency services by
dialing 911 through a paired and connected
Bluetooth-enabled phone. You can learn
more about the 911 Assist feature, visit
www.SYNCMyRide.com,
www.SYNCMyRide.ca or
www.syncmaroute.ca. See Supplementary Restraints System
(page 47). Important information regarding
airbag deployment is in this chapter.
