911 Assist® (If Equipped)
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.
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.
See Supplementary Restraints System
(page 35). Important information
regarding airbag deployment is in this
chapter.
See Roadside Emergencies (page 197).
Important information regarding the fuel
pump shut-off is in this chapter.
Setting 911 Assist On
Press the Information button, Apps, 911
Assist, then On.
You can also access 911 Assist by:
•
Pressing the Menu icon, Settings,
Phone, then 911 Assist
• Pressing the Menu icon, Help, 911 Assist
To make sure that 911 Assist works
properly:
• SYNC must be powered and working
properly at the time of the incident and
throughout feature activation and use.
• The 911 Assist feature must be set on
prior to the incident.
• A Bluetooth-enabled and compatible
phone has to be paired and connected
to SYNC.
• A connected Bluetooth-enabled phone
must have the ability to make and
maintain an outgoing call at the time
of the incident.
365
MyFord Touch®

•A connected Bluetooth-enabled phone
must have adequate network coverage,
battery power and signal strength.
• The vehicle must have battery power
and be located in the U.S., Canada or
in a territory in which 911 is the
emergency number.
In the Event of a Crash
Not all crashes deploy an airbag or activate
the fuel pump shut-off (which would
activate 911 Assist); however, if 911 Assist
is triggered, SYNC tries to contact
emergency services. If a connected phone
is damaged or loses connection to SYNC,
SYNC searches for, and tries to connect
to, any available previously paired phone
and tries to make the call to 911.
Before making the call:
• SYNC provides a short window of time
(about 10 seconds) to cancel the call.
Failure to cancel the call results in
SYNC attempting to dial 911.
• SYNC says the following, or a similar
message: "SYNC will attempt to call
911, to cancel the call, press Cancel on
your screen or press and hold the
phone button on your steering wheel."
If the call is not cancelled and a successful
call is made, a pre-recorded message is
played for the 911 operator, then the
occupant(s) in the vehicle is able to talk
with the operator. Be prepared to provide
your name, phone number and location
immediately, because not all 911 systems
are capable of receiving this information
electronically. 911 Assist May Not Work If
•
Your mobile phone or 911 Assist
hardware was damaged in a crash.
• The vehicle's battery or the SYNC
system has no power.
• The phone(s) paired and connected to
the system was thrown from the
vehicle.
911 Assist Privacy Notice
Once 911 Assist is set on, it may disclose to
emergency services that the vehicle has
been in a crash involving the deployment
of an airbag or activation of the fuel pump
shut-off. Certain versions or updates to 911
Assist may also be capable of
electronically or verbally disclosing to 911
operators the vehicle location or other
details about the vehicle or crash to assist
911 operators to provide the most
appropriate emergency services. If you do
not want to disclose this information, do
not turn the feature on.
Vehicle Health Report (If Equipped)
WARNING
Always follow scheduled
maintenance instructions, regularly
inspect your vehicle, and seek repair
for any damage or problem you suspect.
Vehicle Health Report supplements, but
cannot replace, normal maintenance and
vehicle inspection. Vehicle Health Report
only monitors certain systems that are
electronically monitored by the vehicle and
will not monitor or report the status of any
other system, (i.e., brake lining wear).
Failure to perform scheduled maintenance
and regularly inspect your vehicle may
result in vehicle damage and serious injury.
