ISSUE
Some customers of 2008-2010 SYNC-equipped vehicles may express concern with their SYNC paired device defaulting, switching or staying on
privacy mode. The customer may not be able to accept the call through the SYNC system or must answer the call manually on their personal device.
ACTION
Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Set the Privacy mode to Off on the device and recheck Sync operation.

TO TRANSFER THIS RESPONSIBILITY OR AUDIO TO SYNC. IF THE PHONE DOES NOT ACCEPT THIS REQUEST OR THERE IS A
PROBLEM IN THE COMMUNICATION TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN, YOU ARE BY DEFAULT IN PRIVACY MODE.
