is a dynamic listing, meaning that
it could be the name of anything, such as
a group, artist or song.
2 This voice command is not available until
indexing is complete.
3 This voice command is only available in
folder mode. Voice command guide
Turn autoplay on to listen to music processed during
indexing. Turn autoplay off to allow the indexing process
to finish before the system plays any of your music. *
"Autoplay"
The system searches all the data from your indexed music
and, if available, begins to play the chosen type of music.
You can only play genres of music that are present in the
GENRE metadata tags that you have on your digital media
player.
"Search genre" or "Play
genre"
The system compiles a playlist and then plays music
similar to what is currently playing from the USB port using
indexed metadata information.
"Similar music"
The system searches for specific artist, track or album
information from the music indexed through the USB port.
"Search" or "Play" artist,
track or album
This allows you to make your previous command more
specific. For example, if you asked to search and play all
music by a certain artist, you could then say, "Refine
album" and choose a specific album from the list to view.
If you then select Play, the system only plays music from
that specific album.
"Refine"
* Indexing times can vary from device to device and with regard to the number of songs
the system needs to process.
Press the voice icon. When prompted, say,
"Bluetooth audio", then any of the
following: "BLUETOOTH AUDIO"
"Connections""Pause""Play"
"Play next track"
"Play previous track"

Privacy Information
When you connect a cellular phone to
SYNC, the system creates a profile within
your vehicle that links to that cellular
phone. This profile helps in offering you
more cellular features and operating 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 your
vehicle unless you delete them and are
generally accessible only in your vehicle
when the cellular phone or media player
is connected. If you no longer plan to use
the system or your vehicle, we recommend
you perform a Master Reset to erase all
stored information.
System data cannot be accessed without
special equipment and access to your
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,
Vehicle Health Report, and Traffic,
Directions and Information.

HD Radio
™ Information (If Available)
Note: HD Radio broadcasts are not
available in all markets.
HD Radio technology is the digital
evolution of analog AM/FM radio. Your
system has a special receiver that allows
it to receive digital broadcasts (where
available) in addition to the analog
broadcasts it already receives. Digital
broadcasts provide a better sound quality
than analog broadcasts with free,
crystal-clear audio and no static or
distortion. For more information and a
guide to available stations and
programming, please visit
www.hdradio.com.
When HD Radio is on and you tune to a
station broadcasting HD Radio technology,
you may notice the following indicators on
your screen: The HD Radio logo either blinks when
acquiring a digital station and then stays
solid when digital audio is playing, or is grey
when acquiring a digital station and then
changes to orange when digital audio is
playing. When this logo is available, you
may also see Title and Artist fields
on-screen.

(If Equipped)E142616

The multicast indicator appears in FM
mode (only) if the current station is
broadcasting multiple digital broadcasts.
The highlighted numbers signify available
digital channels where new or different
content is available. HD1 signifies the main
programming status and is available in
analog and digital broadcasts. Other
multicast stations (HD2 through HD7) are
only available digitally.
TAG allows you to save a song to
download later when you are on an
acquired HD Radio station and the feature
is on. To switch the feature on and use it:
1. Press
AM or FM > Options > TAG >
On.
2. When you hear a song you like, touch TAG
.
3. The system automatically saves the song's information and transfers it to
your portable music player (if
supported) when you connect it to the
system. The system automatically
transfers the tag to your player (if
already connected) and a pop-up
confirms the transfer. 4. When you access iTunes with your
portable music player, the tags appear
to you as a reminder. The system
allows you to tag up to approximately
100 songs. For a list of devices that
support tagging, see
www.SYNCMyRide.com,
www.SYNCMyRide.ca or
www.syncmaroute.ca.
When HD Radio broadcasts are active, you
can access the following functions:
• Scan
allows you to hear a brief
sampling of all available stations. This
feature still works when HD Radio
reception is on, although it does not
scan for HD2-HD7 channels. You may
see the HD logo appear if the station
has a digital broadcast.
• Memory presets
allow you to save an
active channel as a memory preset.
Touch and hold a memory preset slot
until the sound returns. There is a brief
mute while the radio saves the station.
Sound returns when finished. When
switching to an HD2 or HD3 memory
preset, the sound mutes before the
digital audio plays, because the system
has to reacquire the digital signal.
Note: As with any saved radio station, you
cannot access the saved station if your
vehicle is outside the station ’s reception
area.
