If you have a Backup Start Passcode set up and your phone is not accessible (e.g. drained battery, lost, stolen, or broken), you can find the code inside your vehicle. Use the steps below for more information.
Important:
Within 1-2 minutes, your SYNC screen should display the Backup Start Passcode screen.
If the troubleshooting steps are unsuccessful, contact a Guide for further assistance.
