WARNING

Driving while distracted can result in
loss of vehicle control, crash and

operation of your vehicle. We recommend
against the use of any hand-held device
while driving and encourage the use of

Getting to Know Your System

The SYNC 3 system allows you to interact
with a variety of features using the
touchscreen and voice commands. By
integrating with your Bluetooth-enabled

interaction with audio, multimedia, climate
control, navigation, and your phone's SYNC
3 compatible apps.

Using the Touchscreen

To operate the touchscreen, you can
simply touch the item or option that you
want to select. The button changes color
when you select it.
