    							DIGITAL RADIO
    Note:
    HD Radio broadcasts are not
    available in all markets.
    HD Radio technology is the digital
    evolution of analog AM/FM radio. Your
    system has a special receiver that allows
    it to receive digital broadcasts (where
    available) in addition to the analog
    broadcasts, it already receives. Digital
    broadcasts provide a better sound quality
    than analog broadcasts with free,
    crystal-clear audio and no static or
    distortion. For more information, and a
    guide to available stations and
    programming, please visit
    www.hdradio.com.
    When HD Radio is on and you tune to a
    station broadcasting HD Radio technology,
    you may notice the HD Radio logo on your
    screen. When this logo is available, you
    may also see Title and Artist fields
    on-screen. The multicast indicator appears in FM
    mode (only) if the current station is
    broadcasting multiple digital broadcasts.
    The highlighted numbers signify available
    digital channels where new or different
    content is available. HD1 signifies the main
    programming status and is available in
    analog and digital broadcasts. Other
    multicast stations (HD2 through HD7) are
    only available digitally.
    When HD Radio broadcasts are active, you
    can access the following functions:
    •
    Scan allows you to hear a brief
    sampling of all available stations. This
    feature still works when HD Radio
    reception is on, although it does not
    scan for HD2-HD7 channels. You may
    see the HD logo appear if the station
    has a digital broadcast.
    • Memory presets
     allow you to save an
    active channel as a memory preset.
    Touch and hold a memory preset slot
    until the sound returns. There is a brief
    mute while the radio saves the station.
    Sound returns when finished. When
    switching to an HD2 or HD3 memory
    preset, the sound mutes before the
    digital audio plays, because the system
    has to reacquire the digital signal.
    Note: As with any saved radio station, you
    cannot access a station you save if your
    vehicle is outside the station ’s reception
    area.

    							HD Radio Reception and Station Troubleshooting
    Potential Reception Issues
    If you are listening to a multicast station and you are on
    the fringe of the reception area, the station may mute due
    to weak signal strength.
    Reception area
    If you are listening to HD1, the system switches back to
    the analog broadcast until the digital broadcast is available
    again. However, if you are listening to any of the possible
    HD2-HD7 multicast channels, the station mutes and stays
    muted unless it is able to connect to the digital signal
    again.
    When the system first receives a station (aside from HD2-
    HD7 multicast stations), it first plays the station in the
    analog version. Once the receiver verifies the station is an
    HD Radio station, it shifts to the digital version. Depending
    on the station quality, you may hear a slight sound change
    when the station changes from analog to digital. Blending
    is the shift from analog to digital sound or digital back to
    analog sound.
    Station blending
    In order to provide the best possible
    experience, use the contact form to report
    any station issues found while listening to
    a station broadcasting with HD Radio
    technology. Independent entities own and
    operate each station. These stations are
    responsible for ensuring all audio streams
    and data fields are accurate.

    Safety Information WARNING
    Driving while distracted can result in
    loss of vehicle control, crash and
    injury. We strongly recommend that
    you use extreme caution when using any
    device that may take your focus off the
    road. Your primary responsibility is the safe
    operation of your vehicle. We recommend
    against the use of any hand-held device
    while driving and encourage the use of
    voice-operated systems when possible.
    Make sure you are aware of all applicable
    local laws that may affect the use of
    electronic devices while driving. When using SYNC:
    •
    Do not operate playing devices if the
    power cords or cables are broken, split
    or damaged. Place cords and cables
    out of the way, so they do not interfere
    with the operation of pedals, seats,
    compartments or safe driving abilities.
    • Do not leave playing devices in your
    vehicle during extreme conditions as it
    could cause them damage. See your
    device's manual for further information.
    • Do not attempt to service or repair the
    system. See an authorized dealer.
    Privacy Information
    When a cellular phone is connected to
    SYNC, the system creates a profile within
    your vehicle that is linked to that cellular
    phone. This profile is created in order to
    offer you more cellular features and to
    operate more efficiently. Among other
    things, this profile may contain data about
    your cellular phone book, text messages
    (read and unread), and call history,
    including history of calls when your cellular
    phone was not connected to the system.
    In addition, if you connect a media device,
    the system creates and retains an index of
    supported media content. The system also
    records a short development log of
    approximately 10 minutes of all recent
    system activity. The log profile and other
    system data may be used to improve the
    system and help diagnose any problems
    that may occur.
    The cellular profile, media device index,
    and development log will remain in the
    vehicle unless you delete them and are
    generally accessible only in the vehicle
    when the cellular phone or media player
    is connected. If you no longer plan to use
    the system or the vehicle, we recommend
    you perform a Master Reset to erase all
    stored information.

    (page 471). USING VOICE RECOGNITION
    This system helps you control many
    features using voice commands. This
    allows you to keep your hands on the
    wheel and focus on what is around you.
    Initiating a Voice Session Press the voice button. A list of
    available voice commands
    appears in the display.
    Global Voice Commands
    These voice commands are always
    available. You can say them at any time. Global voice commands
    This command ends the voice session. You
    can also cancel a session by holding the
    voice button for two or more seconds.
    (cancel | exit)
    This command provides you with hints,
    examples and instructions.
    help
    This command restarts the voice session
    from the initial starting point.
    (main menu | start again)
    You can say any of the voice commands that appear within open and close brackets that
    are separated by |. For example, where; (cancel | exit) appears you say; cancel or exit.
    Helpful Hints
    • Make sure the interior of your vehicle is
    as quiet as possible. Wind noise from
    open windows and road vibrations may
    prevent the system from correctly
    recognizing spoken commands.
    • Before giving a voice command, wait
    for the system announcement to finish,
    followed by a single tone. Any
    command spoken before this does not
    register with the system. •
    Speak naturally, without long pauses
    between words.
    • You can interrupt the system at any
    time while it is speaking by pressing the
    voice button. You can cancel a voice
    session by pressing and holding the
    voice button.
