Some folks would say to read the manual but I am not some folks. If the passenger has set the right hand temperature and seat controls differently than the left side, touching the sync button will restore the right to the values of the master control.

From the Owner's Manual:
SYNC: Press to link all climate zone settings to the driver settings. The SYNC indicator light will turn on. When the passenger temperature setting is adjusted, the SYNC indicator light turns off.
In layman's terms it means that if the SYNC light is lit both of the climate control temperature settings will be the same; if you adjust the driver's side it will change the passenger side to the same setting.

Can’t say much else - the above posters have given you the answer. Pushing the button should turn the sync feature off.

Here I thought that if you were driving on water the sync button would turn your car into a submarine.

The Sync button when activated makes you one with the Universe.

"Nirvana" wouldn't fit.

Doesn't work that way on my '19. Once active, it takes using the passenger control(s) again to extinguish the LED.

My buddy had a Ford and I took him for a ride. He saw the Sync button and said oh you have Microsoft Sync too. 😂
