SYNC is a hands-free, voice recognition system used for
entertainment, information and communication. SYNC…Say the word.
Use the four-corner, four-color touch screen to explore and interact
with your vehicle. The touch screen works the same way as traditional
controls, knobs and buttons do. Press the various corners on your
touch screen to personalize the many features and settings of your
vehicle, all in one place. The system provides easy interaction with
your cellular phone, multimedia entertainment, climate controls and
navigation system*.
A revolutionary way to connect with your car.
