How do I use the automatic locking mode for a seatbelt? Buckle the combination lap and shoulder belt. Grasp the shoulder portion and pull downward until you pull the entire belt out. Allow the belt to retract. As the belt retracts, you will hear a clicking sound. This indicates the seatbelt is now in the automatic locking mode.


How do I disengage the automatic locking mode for a seatbelt? Unbuckle the combination lap and shoulder belt and allow it to retract completely to disengage the automatic locking mode and turn on the vehicle sensitive (emergency) locking mode.


How can I unlock seatbelts in the rear outermost positions if they lock? For vehicles where the rear seats recline:

  1. Recline the seat to its full rear recline position.
  2. The seatbelt should then unlock.
  3. Return the seat backrest to its desired upright position.

For vehicles with rear seats that do not recline or are locked with the seat in its full rear recline position:

  1. Grasp the seatbelt webbing at the top of the seat backrest.
  2. Pull the seatbelt webbing forward, firmly.
  3. After pulling the seatbelt forward, allow the seatbelt to feed back into the seatbelt retractor as much as possible. If necessary, press the seat backrest down to allow the seatbelt webbing to retract further.
  4. The seatbelt should then unlock.
  5. If the seatbelt does not unlock, repeat steps 1-3.

How do I adjust the seatbelt height? To adjust the shoulder belt height, squeeze the button and slide the height adjuster up or down. Release the button and pull down on the height adjuster to make sure it is locked in place.


How do I deactivate the seatbelt reminder for the front seats? Make sure that:

  • You set the parking brake.
  • The transmission is in park (P).
  • The ignition is off.
  • You close all vehicle doors.
  • You unbuckle the driver and front passenger seatbelts.
  1. Switch the ignition on. Do not start the engine.
  2. Wait until the seatbelt warning lamp turns off (about one minute). After Step 2, wait an additional five seconds before proceeding with Step 3. Once you start Step 3, you must complete the procedure within 60 seconds.
  3. For the seating position you are switching off, buckle then unbuckle the seatbelt three times at a moderate speed, ending in the unbuckled state. After Step 3, the seatbelt warning lamp turns on.
  4. When the seatbelt warning lamp is on, buckle then unbuckle the seatbelt. After Step 4, the seatbelt warning lamp flashes for confirmation. This switches the feature off if it is currently on. This switches the feature on if it is currently off.

How do I install a child restraint using combination lap and shoulder belts?

  1. Position the child restraint in a seat with a combination lap and shoulder belt.
  2. Pull down on the shoulder belt and then grasp the shoulder belt and lap belt together.
  3. While holding the shoulder and lap belt portions together, route the tongue through the child restraint according to the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions. Make sure you did not twist the belt webbing.
  4. Insert the belt tongue into the proper buckle (the buckle closest to the direction the tongue is coming from) for that seating position until you hear a snap and feel the latch engage. Make sure the tongue is latched securely by pulling on it.
  5. To put the retractor in the automatic locking mode, grasp the shoulder portion of the belt and pull downward until you pull all of the belt out.
  6. Allow the belt to retract to remove slack. The belt clicks as it retracts to indicate it is in the automatic locking mode.
  7. Try to pull the belt out of the retractor to make sure the retractor is in the automatic locking mode. You should not be able to pull more belt out. If the retractor is not locked, unbuckle the belt and repeat Steps 5 and 6.
  8. Remove remaining slack from the belt. Force the seat down with extra weight, for example, by pressing down or kneeling on the child restraint while pulling up on the shoulder belt in order to force slack from the belt. This is necessary to remove the remaining slack that exists once you add the extra weight of the child to the child restraint. It also helps to achieve the proper snugness of the child restraint to your vehicle. Sometimes, a slight lean toward the buckle will additionally help to remove remaining slack from the belt.
  9. If the child restraint has a tether strap, attach it.
  10. Before placing the child in the seat, forcibly move the seat forward and back to make sure the seat is securely held in place. To check this, grab the seat at the belt path and attempt to move it side to side and forward and back. There should be no more than 1 in (2.5 cm) of movement for proper installation.

How do I install a child restraint with tether anchors?

  1. Route the child restraint tether strap over the back of the seat. For the outermost seating positions, route the tether strap under the head restraint and between the head restraint posts.

  2. Locate the correct anchor on the back panel of the rear seat for the selected seating position. The anchors are labeled with the tether strap symbol.
  3. Clip the tether strap to the anchor.
  4. Tighten the child restraint tether strap according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

What are some possible causes and resolutions for voice recognition issues?

If the system doesn’t understand you, make sure you’re using the correct voice commands and waiting for the prompt before you speak. If the system doesn’t understand the name of a track or artist, try connecting your device to a USB port, or use Siri for iOS devices. Ensure that you are saying names exactly as they appear and rename any files with special characters. If the system doesn’t understand the name of a contact, say the first and last name exactly as it appears on your device. If the system doesn’t understand foreign names, select the name on the touchscreen and use the “Hear it” option to get an idea of how the system expects you to pronounce it.


What are some possible causes and resolutions for USB and Bluetooth audio issues?

If you cannot connect your device, try disconnecting, resetting, and reconnecting it, or ensure that you’re using the correct cable. Make sure your device is not set to only charge, or has a lock screen enabled. If the system doesn’t recognize your device, try connecting it with the recommended cable, or don’t leave the device in the vehicle during extreme temperatures. If the system doesn’t understand the name of a track or artist, try using a USB cable. If you cannot stream from Bluetooth, check that the device is compatible, paired, and the media player is running. If the system doesn’t recognize the music, repair any corrupt files, use files that aren’t copy-protected, convert files to supported formats, or re-index the device. If you cannot hear audio, disconnect your device and try again. If the audio volume is set to maximum when disconnecting an iOS device, turn the volume down on the device. If the system doesn’t play tracks in the correct order on USB, the system may be still indexing or using ID3 tags.


What are some possible causes and resolutions for phone issues?

If you hear excessive background noise, check the audio settings on your phone, switch Bluetooth on and off, and unmute your phone’s microphone. If you can’t hear the other person or they can’t hear you, restart the system. If you cannot download the phonebook, check the compatibility of your phone or allow the system to retrieve contacts. If the phonebook is empty or has missing contacts, switch automatic phonebook download on or off and try again. If you cannot connect your phone or if text messaging doesn’t work, check compatibility and text message settings. If you cannot hear text messages, check the compatibility of your phone.


What are some possible causes and resolutions for navigation issues?

If you cannot enter a street name when you are abroad, enter the street name with the country. If the system doesn’t recognize coordinates, use the correct format ##. #####, ##. #####.


What are some possible causes and resolutions for app issues?

If the system can’t find apps, check compatibility of your device. Make sure you’ve downloaded and started AppLink compatible apps. If the system still can’t find any apps, restart the apps, force close, or swipe up to close the app on an iOS device. If the system can’t find them on an Android device, switch Bluetooth off and on again. If the system can’t find them on an iOS device, disconnect and reconnect the cable. If the sound is quiet, turn up the volume on your device. If the system cannot find all running apps, close some of them.


What are some possible causes and resolutions for Wi-Fi connectivity issues?

If you cannot connect to a Wi-Fi network, enter the correct password, move closer to the hotspot, or use a unique SSID. If the connection disconnects, move closer to the hotspot. If the signal is weak, position your vehicle so the windshield is facing the hotspot. If you can’t see a network in the list, make the network visible. If you can’t see SYNC when you search for networks, SYNC does not provide a Wi-Fi hotspot at this time. If downloads take too long, the network might require a subscription, or there might not be a software update available.


What are some possible causes and resolutions for Personal Profiles issues?

If you can’t create a profile, you have not set up Personal Profiles, entered an invalid profile, not selected a memory button, you didn’t have the ignition on or in park, or Personal Profiles has been switched off. If you can’t link a remote control, the remote control was already associated with another profile, the system performed a profile recall, you didn’t have the ignition on or in park, or you are using the old linking method. If your personalized settings don’t save, Personal Profiles might not support your unsaved settings, or a different personal profile is active. If your profile will not recall, a different profile might be active, or your profile is not linked to a memory button or remote control. If your preset positions recall, but your profile does not, the vehicle is in motion. If your profile recalls but your preset positions do not, the preset positions may be the same as the guest or previously active profile. If you lose a remote control, you may need to see an authorized dealer, or the remote controls were erased and reprogrammed. If you lost all profiles, someone may have performed a master reset.


How do I reset the system?

  1. Simultaneously press and hold the seek up and the audio unit power buttons until the screen goes black.
  2. Wait three minutes to allow the system to complete the reset.
  3. Press the audio unit power button to switch the system on.
