USING SYNC™ WITH YOUR
PHONE

Hands-free calling is one of the main
features of SYNC. While the system
supports a variety of features, many are
dependent on your cell phone's
functionality. At a minimum, most cell
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 cell phone-dependent
features. To check your cell phone's
compatibility, see your cell phone's manual
and visit www.SYNCMyRide.com,
www.SYNCMyRide.ca or
www.syncmaroute.ca.

Pairing a Cell Phone for the First
Time

Note: SYNC can support downloading up
to approximately 1000 entries per
Bluetooth-enabled cell phone.

Note: Make sure to switch on the ignition
and the radio. Put the transmission in

or neutral with the parking brake applied
(manual transmission).
