Pairing Your Phone for the First Time
WARNING: Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle
control, accident and injury. Ford strongly recommends that
drivers use extreme caution when using any device that may take their
focus off the road. Your primary responsibility is the safe operation of
the vehicle. We recommend against the use of any handheld device
while driving, encourage the use of voice-operated systems when
possible and that you become aware of applicable state and local laws
that may affect use of electronic devices while driving.
The first thing you must do to use the phone features of SYNC is to pair
your Bluetooth-enabled cellular phone with SYNC. This allows you to use
your phone in a hands-free manner.
1. Touch Add Phone in the upper left corner of the touchscreen.
2. When prompted, select Add.
3. Select Add Device.
4. Make sure that Bluetooth is set to ON and that your cellular phone is
in the proper mode. Refer to your phone’s user guide if necessary.
5. When prompted on your phone’s display, enter the six-digit PIN
provided by SYNC in the radio display. The display indicates when
the pairing is successful.
6. The system asks you if you want to download your phone book.
Depending on your phone’s capability, you may be prompted with
additional options. For more information on your phone’s capability, refer
to your phone’s user guide and visit the website.
