Information on P Type Tires
P215/65R15 95H is an example of a tire
size, load index and speed rating. The
definitions of these items are listed below.
(Note that the tire size, load index and
speed rating for your vehicle may be
different from this example.)
A.P: Indicates a tire, designated by the Tire
and Rim Association (T&RA), that may be
used for service on cars, SUVs, minivans
and light trucks. Note: If your tire size does
not begin with a letter this may mean it is
designated by either ETRTO (European
Tire and Rim Technical Organization) or
JATMA (Japan Tire Manufacturing
Association).
B. 215: Indicates the nominal width of the
tire in millimeters from sidewall edge to
sidewall edge. In general, the larger the
number, the wider the tire.
C. 65: Indicates the aspect ratio which
gives the tire's ratio of height to width.
D. R: Indicates a radial type tire. E.
15: Indicates the wheel or rim diameter
in inches. If you change your wheel size,
you will have to purchase new tires to
match the new wheel diameter.
F. 95: Indicates the tire's load index. It is
an index that relates to how much weight
a tire can carry. You may find this
information in your owner ’s manual. If not,
contact a local tire dealer.
Note: You may not find this information on
all tires because it is not required by federal
law.
G. H: Indicates the tire's speed rating. The
speed rating denotes the speed at which
a tire is designed to be driven for extended
periods of time under a standard condition
of load and inflation pressure. The tires on
your vehicle may operate at different
conditions for load and inflation pressure.
These speed ratings may need to be
adjusted for the difference in conditions.
The ratings range from 81 mph (130 km/h)
to 186 mph (299 km/h). These ratings are
listed in the following chart.
Note: You may not find this information on
all tires because it is not required by federal
law.

SYNC® APPLICATIONS AND
SERVICES
In order for the following features to work,
your mobile phone must be compatible
with SYNC. To check your phone's
compatibility, visit www.SYNCMyRide.com
or www.syncmaroute.ca.
• SYNC Services (if equipped, U.S. only):
Provides access to traffic, directions
and information such as travel,
horoscopes, stock prices and more.
• 911 Assist™: Can alert 911 in the event
of an emergency.
• Vehicle Health Report (if equipped,
U.S. only): Provides a diagnostic and
maintenance report card of your
vehicle.
911 Assist
WARNINGS
Unless the 911 Assist setting is set on
prior to 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.
WARNINGS
Always place your phone in a secure
location in the vehicle so it does not
become a projectile or get damaged
in a collision. 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, ensure
that you read the 911 Assist privacy notice
later in this section for important
information.
Note: If 911 Assist is turned on or off by any
user, that setting applies for all paired
phones. If 911 Assist is turned off, either a
voice message plays or a display
message/icon comes on (or both) when the
vehicle is started after a previously paired
phone connects.
Note: Every phone operates differently.
While SYNC 911 Assist works with most
mobile phones, some may have trouble
using this feature.
If a crash deploys an airbag or activates
the fuel pump shut-off, your
SYNC-equipped vehicle may be able to
contact emergency services by dialing 911
through a paired and connected
Bluetooth-enabled phone. For more
information about 911 Assist visit
www.SYNCMyRide.com or
www.syncmaroute.ca.

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)
