continuous improvement, the service
may collect and record call details and
voice communications. For more
information, see SYNC Services Terms

want Ford or its service providers to
collect your vehicle travel information
or other information identified in the

(If Equipped) WARNINGS
Unless the 911 Assist setting is
set on before a crash, the system
will not dial for help, which could
delay response time, potentially
increasing the risk of serious injury or
death after a crash. Do not wait for 911 Assist to
make an emergency call if you
can do it yourself. Dial emergency
services immediately to avoid delayed
response time, which could increase
the risk of serious injury or death after
a crash. If you do not hear 911 Assist
within five seconds of the crash, the
system or phone may be damaged or
non-functional. Always place your phone in a
secure location in your vehicle so
it does not become a projectile or
damaged in a crash. Failure to do so
may cause serious injury to someone
or damage the phone, which could
prevent 911 Assist from working
properly. Note:
The SYNC 911 Assist feature
must be set on prior to the incident.
Note: Before setting this feature on,
make sure that you read the 911 Assist
Privacy Notice later in this section for
important information.
