Using the Touch-Sensitive
Controls on Your System
To turn a feature on and off, just touch
the graphic with your finger. To get the
best performance from the
touch-sensitive controls:
• Make sure your hands are clean
and dry.
• Since the touchscreen operates
based on the touch of a finger, you
may have trouble using it if you are
wearing gloves.
• Use your bare finger to touch the
center of a touch-control graphic.
Touching off-center of the graphic
may cause a nearby control to turn
on or off.
• Do not press hard on the controls.
They are sensitive to light touch.
• Metal and other conductive
material should be kept away from
the surface of the touchscreen as
this may cause electronic
interference (i.e. control
activation).

Safety Information
WARNING
Driving while distracted can
result in loss of vehicle control,
accident and injury. Ford strongly
recommends that drivers use extreme
caution when using any device or
feature that may take their focus off
the road. Your primary responsibility
is the safe operation of the vehicle.
We recommend against the use of any
handheld device while driving,
encourage the use of voice-operated
systems when possible and that you
become aware of applicable state
and local laws that may affect use of
electronic devices while driving. When using SYNC:
•
Do not operate playing devices if
the power cords or cables are
broken, split or damaged. Carefully
place cords and cables where they
cannot be stepped on or interfere
with the operation of pedals, seats,
compartments or safe driving
abilities.
• Do not leave playing devices in the
vehicle during extreme conditions
as it could cause them damage.
See your device's user guide for
further information. •
Do not attempt to service or repair
the system. See your authorized
dealer.
• For your safety, some SYNC
functions are speed-dependent
and cannot be performed when
the vehicle is traveling at speeds
greater than 3 mph (5 km/h).
Make sure that you review your
device's user guide before using it with
SYNC.
Speed-Restricted Features
Some features of this system may be
too difficult to use while the vehicle is
in motion so they are restricted from
being modified unless the vehicle is
not moving. Some examples of these
are listed below:
• Screens that are too crowded with
information, such as Point of
Interest (POI) reviews and ratings,
SIRIUS Travel Link sports scores,
movie times, ski conditions, etc.
• Any action that requires using a
keyboard, such as entering a
navigation destination or editing
information.
• All lists are limited so the user can
view fewer entries (e.g., phone
contacts, recent phone call
entries).
Listed below are more specific
features that can only be modified
while the vehicle is not moving:

Privacy Information
When a cellular phone is connected
to SYNC, the system creates a profile
within your vehicle that is linked to
that cellular phone. This profile is
created in order to offer you more
cellular features and to operate more
efficiently. Among other things, this
profile may contain data about your
cellular phone book, text messages
(read and unread), and call history,
including history of calls when your
cell phone was not connected to the
system. In addition, if you connect a
media device, the system creates and
retains an index of supported media
content. The system also records a
short development log of
approximately 10 minutes of all recent
system activity. The log profile and
other system data may be used to
improve the system and help
diagnose any problems that may
occur.
The cellular profile, media device
index, and development log remain in
the vehicle unless you delete them
and are generally accessible only in
the vehicle when the cellular phone
or media player is connected. If you
no longer plan to use the system or
the vehicle, we recommend you
perform a Master Reset to erase all
stored information.
System data cannot be accessed
without special equipment and access
to the vehicle's SYNC module. Ford
Motor Company and Ford of Canada
do not access the system data for any
purpose other than as described
absent consent, a court order, or
where required by law enforcement,
other government authorities, or other
third parties acting with lawful
authority. Other parties may seek to
access the information independently
of Ford Motor Company and Ford of
Canada. For further privacy
information, see the sections on 911
Assist® (if equipped), Vehicle Health
Report (if equipped), and Traffic,
Directions and Information (if
equipped).

Accessing and Adjusting Modes Through Your Vehicle Information
Display
The display is located on the center
of your instrument cluster (A). It
allows you to view and make minor
adjustments to active modes without
taking your hands off the wheel. For
example:
•
In entertainment mode, you can
view what is now playing, change
the audio source, select presets
and make some adjustments.
• In phone mode, you can accept or
reject an incoming call.
• In navigation mode (if equipped),
you can view the current route or
activate a route.
• In climate mode, the driver side
temperature can bet set as well as
fan speed. Use the OK and arrow buttons on the
right side of your steering wheel to
scroll through the available modes:
Entertainment
Phone
Navigation
Climate Control
343
MyLincoln Touch
™E156609 E145982 E142611 E142609 E142610 E142612

You can make selections from the
menu by using the OK button. The
selection menu expands and you are
allowed different options.
•
Press the up and down arrows to
scroll through the modes.
• Press the right arrow to enter the
mode.
• Press the left or right arrows to
make adjustments within the
chosen mode.
• Press OK to confirm your selection.
Note: If your vehicle is not equipped
with Navigation, Compass appears in
the display instead of Navigation. If you
press the right arrow to go into the
Compass menu, you can see the
compass graphic. The compass
displays the direction in which the
vehicle is traveling, not true direction
(i.e., if the vehicle is traveling west, the
middle of the compass graphic displays
west; north displays to the left of west
though its true direction is to the right
of west).
Using Voice Recognition
This system helps you control many
features using voice commands. This
allows you to keep your hands on the
wheel and focus on what is in front of
you. The system provides feedback
through audible tones, prompts,
questions and spoken confirmations
depending on the situation and the
chosen level of interaction (voice
settings). The system also asks short questions
(confirmation prompts) when it is not
sure of your request or when there are
multiple possible responses to your
request.
When using voice commands, words
and icons may also appear in the
lower left status bar indicating the
status of the voice session (i.e.,
listening, success, failed, paused or
try again).
How to Use Voice Commands with
Your System
Press the voice icon; after the
tone, speak your command
clearly.
What Can I Say?
To access the available voice
commands for the current session, do
one of the following:
• During a voice session, press the
help icon (?) in the lower left
status bar of the screen.
• Say "What can I say?" for an
on-screen listing of the possible
voice commands associated with
your current voice session.
• Press the voice icon. After the tone,
say "Help" for an audible list of
possible voice commands.

vehicle is as quiet as possible.

before this does not register with
the system.

Voice Settings
Voice settings allow you to customize
the level of system interaction, help
and feedback. The system defaults
to standard interaction which uses
candidate lists and confirmation
prompts as these provide the highest
level of guidance and feedback.
•
Interaction Mode: Novice mode
provides more detailed interaction
and guidance while the advanced
mode has less audible interaction
and more tone prompts.
• Confirmation Prompts:
These
are short questions the system
asks when it is not sure of your
request or when there are multiple
possible responses to your request.
If turned off, the system simply
makes a best guess as to what you
requested and you may still
occasionally be asked to confirm
settings.
• Phone and Media Candidate
Lists:
Candidate lists are lists of
possible results from your voice
commands. The system creates
these lists when it has the same
confidence level of several options
based on your voice command. To access these settings using the
touchscreen:
1. Press the Settings icon, Settings,
then Voice Control.
2. Select from the following:
• Interaction Mode
• Confirmation Prompts
• Media Candidate Lists
• Phone Candidate Lists
• Voice Control Volume.
To access these settings using voice
commands:
1. Press the voice icon; after the tone
sounds, the system says "Please
say a command". Another tone
sounds to let you know the system
is listening.
2. Say any of the following commands: Voice Settings Using Voice Commands
