Completing a SYNC Master/Factory Reset

Importante:

  • A master/factory reset erases all stored data, such as call history, text messages, previously paired phones, navigation favorites, personalized keyless entry codes, and modem activation.
  • A master/factory reset does not return your SYNC system to previous software versions.
  • Your vehicle must be parked and running, and in an open location (e.g., free of overhead foliage, ceilings, etc.). 

Select your vehicle's SYNC generation from the drop-down options below to learn how to complete a master/factory reset.
