Using the Touch-Sensitive
Controls on Your System
Your vehicle's centerstack has
touch-sensitive switches for your
infotainment and climate control systems.
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). Depending on your vehicle and option
package, you may also have these controls
on your bezel:
•
Power: Turn the media (or climate
features) on or off.
• VOL: Increase or decrease the volume.
• Fan: Increase or decrease the fan
speed.
• Seek and Tune buttons: Use as you
normally would in media modes.
• Eject: Eject a CD.
• SOURCE: Touch the word repeatedly
to see all available media modes. The
screen does not change, but you see
the media changes in the lower left
status bar.
• SOUND: Touch the word to access the
Sound menu where you can make
adjustments to settings such as: Bass,
Treble, Midrange, Balance and Fade,
THX Deep Note Demo (if equipped),
DSP (if equipped), Occupancy Mode
(if equipped), and Speed
Compensated Volume settings.
• Hazard flasher: Press the button to turn
the hazard flashers on or off.
Cleaning the Touchscreen Display
Clean the display with a clean, soft cloth
such as one used for cleaning glasses. If
dirt or finger prints are still visible, apply a
small amount of alcohol to the cloth. Do
not pour or spray alcohol onto the display.
Do not use detergent or any type of solvent
to clean the display.
Support
The SYNC support team is available to
help you with any questions you aren't able
to answer on your own.

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. Refer to
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're 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:
Restricted Features
Pairing a Bluetooth phone
Mobile Phone
Adding phonebook contacts or uploading phonebook
contacts (from a USB)
Lists entries are limited for phone contacts and recent
phone call entries
Editing the keypad code
