GETTING STARTED WITH YOUR SYNC SYSTEM
SYNC is an in-vehicle communications system that works with your
Bluetooth enabled phone and portable media player.
SUPPORT
SYNC support is available from your Ford regional website:
www.syncmyride.com (United States)
www.syncmyride.ca (Canada)
DRIVING RESTRICTIONS
For your safety, certain features are speed-dependent and restricted
when your vehicle is traveling over 3 mph (5 km/h).
PAIRING YOUR PHONE WITH SYNC
Note: If you have SYNC 3*, see the pairing instructions on page 12.
Wirelessly pairing your phone with SYNC allows you to make and receive
hands-free calls.
TO PAIR YOUR PHONE FOR THE FIRST TIME
1. Make sure to switch on your phone's Bluetooth feature before starting
the search. See your device's manual if necessary.
2. Press the Settings button.
3. Select Bluetooth from the menu.
4. Press the OK button.
5. Select the option to add. This starts the pairing process.
6. When a message to begin pairing appears in the audio display, search
for SYNC on your device.
*if equipped
7. When prompted on your phone's display, confirm that the PIN
provided by SYNC matches the PIN displayed on your phone. Your
phone is now paired and the display indicates that the pairing was
successful. If you are prompted to enter a PIN on your device, enter
the PIN displayed on the screen. The display indicates when the
pairing is successful.
Depending on your phone's capability and your market, the system may
prompt you with questions, such as setting the current phone as the
primary phone and downloading your phone book.
PHONE CONTROLS
You can use the phone buttons on your steering wheel to answer, reject
or end a call.
HELPFUL HINTS
•
When using voice commands, make sure the interior of your vehicle
is as quiet as possible. Wind noise from open windows and
road vibrations may prevent the system from correctly recognizing
spoken commands.
•
Before giving a voice command, wait for the system announcement to
finish, followed by a single tone. Any command spoken before this
does not register with the system.
•
Speak naturally, without long pauses between words.
•
You can interrupt the system at any time while it is speaking by
pressing the voice button. You can cancel a voice session by pressing
and holding the voice button.
PHONE MENU
Through your phone menu, you can access your call history, phone book,
text messages, phone settings and system settings.
Press the phone button to enter the phone menu. Then you can scroll
through the menu and select the feature you want to view.
SYNC MOBILE APPS
The system enables voice and steering wheel control of SYNC AppLink-
enabled smartphone apps. When an app is running through AppLink, you
can control the main features of the app through voice commands and
steering wheel controls.
Note: You must pair and connect your smartphone to SYNC to
access AppLink.
USING SYNC TO ACCESS DIGITAL MEDIA
Using the system, you can access media from your iPod, Bluetooth device,
and most USB drives. SYNC also supports audio formats, such as MP3,
WMA, WAV and ACC.
MEDIA SOURCES
Press the AUX button to view your sources. Use the directional arrows
and OK button to select your source. You can also use the steering wheel
audio controls.
