• Say the song or artist exactly as they are listed. If you say, “Play Artist Prince”, the system will not play music by Prince and the Revolution or Prince and the New Power Generation. • Ensure that you are saying the complete title such as “California remix featuring Jennifer Nettles”. • If the songs are saved in all CAPS, you will have to spell them. LOLA will require you to say, “ Play L-O-L-A” • Don’t use special characters in the title as the system will not recognize them.

Issue

SYNC does not understand or is calling the wrong contact when I want to make a call.

Possible Solution(s)

Voice command issues Possible Cause(s) • You may be using the wrong voice commands. • You may not be saying the name exactly as it is saved. • Contacts in your phonebook may be very short and similar, or they may contain special characters. • Your phonebook contacts may be saved in CAPS.

• Review the phone voice commands at the beginning of the phone chapter. • Ensure that you are saying the contacts exactly as they are listed. For example, if a contact is saved as Joe Wilson, say, “Call Joe Wilson”. • The system does better if you list full names such as “Joe Wilson” rather than “Joe”. • Don’t use special characters such as 123 or ICE as the system will not recognize them. • If contacts are saved in CAPS, you will have to spell them. JAKE will require you to say, “ Call J-A-K-E.”

Helpful Hints • Ensure that the interior of the vehicle is as quiet as possible. Wind

noise from open windows and road vibrations may prevent the system from correctly recognizing spoken voice commands. • Ensure that you are speaking naturally and without any large pauses between words. • After you push

to begin a voice session, wait until the prompt

sounds and Listening appears in the display. Anything spoken prior to this will not register with the system.

• You can, at any time, interrupt the system while it is speaking by

pushing with a listening prompt and allow you to speak a command.

during an active voice session. The system will respond

• For a list of available voice commands, you can push

and say, “Help” after the tone. The system will audibly list voice commands available in your current mode.

• The system’s microphone is either located in your rear view mirror or

in the headliner just above your windshield. Ensure that the microphone area is kept free of obstructions.

• To better understand how the system interprets your phone book contacts, select a contact and then scroll until Speak this is selected and press OK. The system will read the contact and you can better understand how to say the contact for the next time. • To better understand how the system interprets your media titles,

when the desired selection is playing, push say “What’s playing?”. The system will read the title to you so that you will know how to say the selection so that the system will understand.

WARNING: Operating certain parts of this system while driving can distract your attention away from the road, and possibly

cause an accident or other serious consequences. Do not change system settings or enter data non-verbally (using your hands) while driving. Stop the vehicle in a safe and legal manner before attempting these operations. This is important since while setting up or changing some functions you might be required to distract your attention away from the road and remove your hands from the wheel.

General operation Voice Command Control Functions within the Windows Automotive-based system may be accomplished using only voice commands. Using voice commands while driving allows you to operate the system without removing your hands from the wheel. Prolonged Views of Screen Do not access any function requiring a prolonged view of the screen while you are driving. Pull over in a safe and legal manner before attempting to access a function of the system requiring prolonged attention. Even occasional short scans to the screen may be hazardous if your attention has been diverted away from your driving task at a critical time. Volume Setting Do not raise the volume excessively. Keep the volume at a level where you can still hear outside traffic and emergency signals while driving. Driving while unable to hear these sounds could cause an accident. Use of Speech Recognition Functions Speech recognition software is inherently a statistical process which is subject to errors. It is your responsibility to monitor any speech recognition functions included in the system and address any errors.

Glossary of terms Autoplay: With Autoplay turned ON, SYNC威 allows you to listen to music which has already been randomly indexed during the indexing process. With Autoplay turned off, the chosen music will not begin to play until all of the music has been indexed by SYNC威. Depending on the size of the material, this may take a few minutes. Bluetooth enabled cellular phone: Any cellular phone which has the Bluetooth wireless technology which will enable the phone to connect with SYNC威 and exchange information wirelessly.

Digital media player / USB Device: This is a generic term used to signify any of the following media devices: iPod威, Zune™, “Plays from device” players, and most USB drives (thumb drives, flash drives, PEN drives, etc.) Discoverable mode: A mode which allows other Bluetooth enabled devices to find your Bluetooth enabled device. Discovery mode: A mode which allows your Bluetooth enabled device to search for other ‘discoverable’ Bluetooth enabled devices. In-band ringing: This is a phone dependent feature. If your Bluetooth enabled cellular phone supports this feature, SYNC威 can play your ring tone during incoming calls. Indexing: A process in which SYNC威 builds a voice recognition grammar for the media content of your digital media player. While indexing, SYNC威 will play already indexed media if Autoplay is on. However, voice recognition is not available for the media until the indexing process is complete. Metadata: Descriptive tags embedded in your digital media which provide SYNC威 with information such as ARTIST, ALBUM, GENRE and TRACK. Pairing: To use your Bluetooth enabled cellular phone with SYNC威, you must go through a pairing (bonding) process. “Pairing” is a special process used when two devices connect for the first time. The pairing process is used to generate a link key that is used for authentication purposes during subsequent Bluetooth connections between the two devices. PIN (Personal Identification number): This six digit number (sometimes referred to as a passkey) will be shown in the radio display during the pairing process with your Bluetooth enabled device. You do not need to write down this number as it will only be used for that specific pairing procedure.

BULB REPLACEMENT

Lamp assembly condensation Exterior lamps are vented to accommodate normal changes in pressure. Condensation can be a natural by-product of this design. When moist air enters the lamp assembly through the vents, there is a possibility that condensation can occur when the temperature is cold. When normal condensation occurs, a thin film of mist can form on the interior of the lens. The thin mist eventually clears and exits through the vents during normal operation. Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours under dry weather conditions. Examples of acceptable condensation are: • Presence of thin mist (no streaks, drip marks or droplets) • Fine mist covers less than 50% of the lens Examples of unacceptable moisture (usually caused by a lamp water leak) are: • Water puddle inside the lamp • Large water droplets, drip marks or streaks present on the interior of

the lens

Take your vehicle to a dealer for service if any of the above conditions of unacceptable moisture are present.

Using the right bulbs Replacement bulbs are specified in the chart below. Headlamp bulbs must be marked with an authorized “D.O.T.” for North America and an “E” for Europe to ensure lamp performance, light brightness and pattern and safe visibility. The correct bulbs will not damage the lamp assembly or void the lamp assembly warranty and will provide quality bulb burn time. Function Headlamp (low beam) Headlamp (high beam) Headlamp (park/turn)

REMOTE ENTRY SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

FCC ID: LXP-RX4318

IC: 2298A-RX4318

The integrated keyhead transmitters (IKTs) and intelligent access keys (IA key) comply with part 15 of the FCC rules and with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. The typical operating range for your transmitter is approximately 33 feet (10 meters). A decrease in operating range could be caused by: • weather conditions, • nearby radio towers, • structures around the vehicle, or • other vehicles parked next to your vehicle. The transmitter allows you to: • remotely unlock the vehicle doors. • remotely lock all the vehicle doors. • remotely open the trunk. • arm and disarm the perimeter anti-theft system. • operate the illuminated entry feature. The remote entry lock/unlock feature operates in any ignition position except when the engine is running and vehicle speed is more than 4 mph (7 km/h). If there are problems with the remote entry system, make sure to take ALL integrated keyhead transmitters or intelligent access keys with you to the authorized dealer in order to aid in troubleshooting the problem.

Intelligent Access (if equipped) Your vehicle will allow you to unlock and enter your vehicle without actively using a key or transmitter. You can use the intelligent access feature at the driver door, passenger front door or at the trunk. You can activate the intelligent access feature as long as you have one of your intelligent access keys within range of the driver door, passenger front door or the trunk. 138

Activating intelligent access at the front doors: If your IA key is within 3 feet (1 meter) of the driver’s door or passenger front door, you can activate your intelligent access system by pressing the lock button. To lock/unlock the doors, press the lock button on the handle.

Pressing the driver’s door lock button while two-stage unlock is enabled will only unlock the driver’s door. Pressing the button with two-stage unlock disabled will unlock all doors. The passenger front door lock button will unlock all doors regardless of two-stage unlock mode. To disable/enable two-stage unlock, refer to Unlocking the doors/two-stage unlock later in this section. Activating intelligent access at the trunk: If your IA key is within 3 feet (1 meter) of the trunk, you can activate your intelligent access system by pressing the exterior trunk release button, located above the license plate. The trunk will release and open. Refer to the Remote entry system in this section for more details on how to use the lock, unlock, panic or trunk buttons on the transmitter. Your intelligent access system uses a radio frequency (RF) signal to communicate with your vehicle and authorize your vehicle to unlock when commanded (either by pressing any keyless entry keypad button, the trunk button, or a button on the transmitter itself). If excessive RF interference is present in the area, or if your vehicle battery is low, it may be necessary to mechanically unlock your door. The mechanical key blade in your IA key can be used to open the driver’s door in this situation (refer to Intelligent access key in this chapter for more information on the location and use of the mechanical key blade). A mechanical key is needed for access if the IA key battery or vehicle battery is low. Push button start: Your vehicle is equipped with a push button start system, which allows you to start your vehicle without using a key. To operate the push button start system and start your vehicle, your IA key must be present inside the vehicle, either in the passenger compartment or in the trunk.

Replacing lost remote entry transmitters–integrated keyhead transmitters (IKTs) If you would like to have your remote entry transmitter reprogrammed because you lost one, or would like to buy additional remote entry transmitters, you can either reprogram them yourself, or take all remote entry transmitters to your authorized dealer for reprogramming. Tips: • You must have two previously programmed coded keys (keys that already operate your vehicle’s engine) and the new unprogrammed key(s) readily accessible.

• If two previously programmed coded keys are not available, you must take your vehicle to your authorized dealer to have the spare key(s) programmed.

Please read and understand the entire procedure before you begin. Reprogramming remote entry transmitters 1. Insert the first programmed key into the ignition and turn the key from off to run (maintain the key in run for approximately 3 seconds). 2. Turn the first key to off and remove it from the ignition. 3. Within 10 seconds of turning the key to off, insert a second programmed key into the ignition and turn the key from off to run (maintain the key in run for approximately 3 seconds). 4. Turn the second key to off and remove it from the ignition. 5. Within 10 seconds of turning the second key to off, insert the new, unprogrammed key into the ignition and turn the key from off to run (maintain the key in run for approximately 3 seconds).

If you would like to program additional key(s) (up to a total of 8 keys can be programmed), repeat Steps 1-5 for each additional key.

6. The Securilock威 passive anti-theft system portion of the key is now programmed. To program the remote keyless entry functions of the key follow Steps 1-3 below. Note: When programming remote keyless entry functions, you will delete previous programming of all current keys so you must program all the keys you need every time you do the process. 1. Turn the ignition switch from off to run four times in rapid succession (within six seconds), with the fourth turn ending in off. If the program mode is successfully entered , a chime will sound. Note: If no action is taken within 10 seconds after a transmitter has been programmed, the programming sequence ends. 2. Within 10 seconds, press any button on the transmitter to be programmed. A chime will sound to confirm that the transmitter is programmed. Repeat this step for each transmitter. Note: There is NO chime or any other confirmation upon exiting the programming mode. 3. Exiting the programming mode is accomplished if one of the following occurs: • The ignition is turned to run. • Ten seconds have passed since entering programming mode or since • The maximum number (eight) of transmitters has been programmed. 143

Note: Large metallic objects, electronic devices that are used to purchase gasoline or similar items, or a second coded key on the same key chain may cause vehicle starting issues. You need to prevent these objects from touching the coded key while starting the engine. These objects will not cause damage to the coded key, but may cause a momentary issue if they are too close to the key when starting the engine. If a problem occurs, turn the ignition off, remove all objects on the key chain away from the coded key and restart the engine. Note: Do not leave a duplicate coded key in the vehicle. Always take your keys and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle. SecuriLock威 passive anti-theft system is an engine immobilization system. This system is designed to help prevent the engine from being started unless a coded key programmed to your vehicle is used. The use of the wrong type of coded key may lead to a “no-start” condition. Your vehicle comes with two coded keys; additional coded keys may be purchased from and programmed by your authorized dealer. Automatic arming The vehicle is armed immediately after switching the ignition to the off position. Anti-theft indicator The anti-theft indicator is located in the instrument cluster. • When the ignition is off, the

indicator will flash once every two seconds to indicate the SecuriLock威 system is functioning as a theft deterrent.

• When the ignition is on, the indicator will glow for three seconds, then

turn off, to indicate normal system functionality.

If a problem occurs with the SecuriLock威 system, the indicator will flash rapidly or glow steadily when the ignition is in the on position. If this occurs, turn the ignition off then back on to make sure there was no electronic interference with the programmed key. If the vehicle doesn’t start, try to start it with the 2nd programmed key and if successful contact your authorized dealership for key replacement. If the indicator still flashes rapidly or glows steadily, and the vehicle will not start, contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible for service. Automatic disarming Switching the ignition to the on position with a coded key disarms the vehicle.

Replacement keys If your keys are lost or stolen and you don’t have an extra coded key, you will need to have your vehicle towed to an authorized dealer. The key codes need to be erased from your vehicle and new coded keys will need to be programmed. Replacing coded keys can be very costly. Store an extra programmed key away from the vehicle in a safe place to help prevent any inconveniences. Please visit an authorized dealer to purchase additional spare or replacement keys. PERIMETER ALARM SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED) The perimeter anti-theft system will warn you in the event of an unauthorized entry to your vehicle. If there is any potential perimeter anti-theft problem with your vehicle, ensure ALL remote entry transmitters are taken to the authorized dealer to aid in troubleshooting. Arming the system When armed, this system will respond if unauthorized entry is attempted. When unauthorized entry occurs, the system will flash the park/turn lamps and will sound the horn. The system is ready to arm whenever the key is removed from the ignition. Either of the following actions will prearm the alarm system: • Press the lock control on the remote entry transmitter. • Open a door and press the power door lock control to lock all the

doors, and then close the door.

Disarming the system You can disarm the system by any of the following actions: • Unlock the doors by pressing the • Unlock the doors with a key. Turn the key full travel (toward the front • Turn the ignition to the on or start position with a programmed coded
