    How to pair your mobile phone

    To use your phone hands-free with SYNC®, you need to pair it first. Make sure your phone’s Bluetooth® is turned on.

    Make sure:
    • Your phone is compatible with SYNC® and the Bluetooth® is turned on.
    • Your vehicle is in Park and running, not in Accessory mode.
    Steps:
    1. Touch the ‘Phone’ corner on your 8-inch touchscreen. Touch ‘Add Phone’.
    2. For four-digit PIN smartphones:
      3. a. When the six-digit number shows on the screen, touch ‘Find other’.
      b. When ‘Select device’ to add appears, touch the name of your phone.
      c. SYNC® will prompt you to enter a 4-digit pass-key, or PIN, into your touch screen.
      d. Touch four numbers, then ‘Enter’ to begin pairing your phone.
      e. Your phone will display a similar prompt to enter a four-digit PIN. Type in the same four numbers that you just entered on the touchscreen and press ‘OK’. If your phone asks if you always want to accept this request, choose ‘Yes’.
    3. Connected successfully appears when your phone is paired. SYNC®2 will now connect automatically to your phone when you start your engine.**
    4. SYNC®2 will then ask, “Set automatic phonebook download to ON?” If you choose yes, your phonebook may take up to several minutes to download, depending on your number of contacts.
    Note: Some smartphones use a four-digit Personal Identification Numbers (PIN) and cannot accept the six-digit PIN provided by SYNC®. To pair this type of phone, follow the alternate instructions listed for step 4.

    *Bluetooth® is a registered trademark of Bluetooth SIG Inc., and is used under licence. Some phones are not compatible.

    **If you have more than one paired phone, SYNC®2 will ask if you want to make this phone your Favourite. This is the phone SYNC®2 will automatically connect to when there’s more than one paired phone in the car. If you don’t set a Favourite, SYNC® will automatically connect to the most recently paired phone.

    Downloading your phonebook

    Download your phonebook and you can call someone simply by saying their name. Turn on automatic phonebook downloading and your contact list will be updated each time SYNC® connects to your phone.

    • Your phone is paired and connected

    Steps:

    1. Touch ‘Settings’.
    2. Touch ‘Manage Phonebook’.
    3. Touch ‘Download’ to re-download your phonebook.
    4. Touch ‘On’ for ‘Auto Phonebook Download’, so SYNC®2 automatically downloads your phonebook each time it connects.
