Pairing your phone for the first time
WARNING: Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle control, accident and injury.
Ford strongly recommends that drivers use extreme caution when using any device that may
take their focus off the road. The driver’s primary responsibility is the safe operation of their
vehicle. Only use cell phones and other devices not essential to the driving task when it is safe
to do so.
The first thing you must do to use the phone features of SYNC is to ‘pair’ your Bluetooth enabled
cellular phone with SYNC. This allows your phone to communicate with the hands-free system.
To pair your phone for the first time:
1. Ensure that the vehicle ignition and radio are on and that your vehicle is in Park (P).
2. Press
to enter the PHONE MENU. SYNC will attempt to connect and the radio
display will indicate that no phone is paired.
3. Press OK. ADD DEVICES will appear in the radio display.
Note: Press
/ repeatedly if ADD DEVICES does not first appear in the
radio display.
4. Press OK to confirm your selection and enter the ADD DEVICES MENU.
5. When FIND SYNC appears in the radio display, press OK. Follow the instructions in
your cellular phone’s user guide to put your phone into Bluetooth discovery mode.
A six digit PIN will appear in the radio display.
6. When prompted on your phone’s display, enter the six digit PIN provided by SYNC.
7. The radio display will read CONNECTED when the pairing process
is successful.
Congratulations! Your phone is now successfully paired to SYNC. Depending on
your phone’s capability, you may be prompted on your phone’s display or radio
display with additional options. For further information, refer to your phone’s
user guide and visit www.SyncMyRide.com.
Note: You can, at any time, press and hold
to exit phone mode and listen
to other audio sources. You can also press VOICE or and say “Help” for
more options.
Stay connected
The voice -activated, hands-free calling system means you can focus on driving without
putting everything else on hold. The system supports you with:
• Voice activated, hands-free calling: To initiate a call, press or VOICE, then say
“Phone.” When prompted, say “Call”
prompted, the desired number. When SYNC confirms the number, say “DIAL” again.
SYNC will automatically connect with the names in your mobile phone’s contact list.
To answer incoming calls, simply press
. To end a call, press and hold .
• Uninterrupted connections while entering your vehicle: In the middle of a phone call
while entering your car? No need to hang up. If your phone has been previously paired,
SYNC
will instantly connect to your Bluetooth phone and automatically transfer the call
to a hands-free environment. (The system can also transfer the call back to your phone
as you exit your vehicle.)
• Audible text messages: If your connected cell phone supports text messaging
downloads via Bluetooth wireless technology, you can use SYNC’s text messaging
feature. If you receive a text message while driving, press OK and SYNC will read it to
you out loud. The system is smart enough to translate commonly used text messaging
expressions such as “LOL” and “ :) ”. You can even reply with a list of predefined responses.

the USB port. Just push the VOICE or button and SYNC will prompt you for a command:
