There are a few things you should do before starting step 1:
If you have an iPhone, please see Receiving iPhone text messages with SYNC® 3
Receiving a text message
When a new text message arrives, an audible tone will sound and the touchscreen will display a pop-up with the sender’s name and ID (if this feature is supported by your phone).
Press the Voice button on your steering wheel and say, “Listen to the message.”
SYNC® 3 will read the message aloud.
If you wish to call the sender, press the Voice button and say, “Dial.”
Replying to text messages with voice commands and preset messages*
After listening to a text message, press the Voice button and say, “Reply to text message.”
SYNC® will then read the list of preset messages with corresponding numbers.
Reply with the number of the message you would like to send.
SYNC® will confirm your choice.
*This option is not available with iPhones.
Note: Downloading and sending text messages using Bluetooth are phone-dependent features.
Certain features in text messaging are speed-dependent and not available when your vehicle is traveling at speeds more than 3 mph (5 km/h).
