Receiving a Text Message
Note: If you select View and your vehicle is traveling over 5 mph
(8 km/h), the system offers to read the message to you instead of
allowing you to view it while driving.
When a new message arrives, an audible tone sounds and the screen
displays a pop-up with the caller name and ID, if supported by your
phone. You can press:
• View to view the text message.
• Listen for SYNC to read the message to you.
