•Your mobile phone or 911 Assist
hardware was damaged in a crash.
• The vehicle's battery or the SYNC
system has no power.

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
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.
Note: Your Vehicle Health Report feature
requires activation prior to use. Visit
www.SYNCMyRide.com to register. There
is no fee or subscription associated with
Vehicle Health Report, but you must register
to use this feature.
Note: This feature may not function
properly if you have enabled caller ID
blocking on your mobile phone. Before
running a report, review Vehicle Health
Report privacy notice.
Note: In order to allow a break-in period for
your vehicle, you may not be able to create
a Vehicle Health Report until your vehicle
odometer has reached 200 miles.
Register for Vehicle Health Report and set
your report preferences at
www.SYNCMyRide.com. After registering
you can request a Vehicle Health Report
(inside your vehicle). Return to your
account at www.SYNCMyRide.com to view
your report. You can also choose for SYNC
to automatically remind you to run reports
at specific mileage intervals. Mobile phone
airtime usage may apply when reporting.
The system allows you to check your
vehicle's overall health in the form of
diagnostic report card. The vehicle health
report contains valuable information such
as:
• Vehicle diagnostic information
• Scheduled maintenance
• Open Recalls and Field Service Actions
• Unserviced items from vehicle
inspections by your authorized dealer
To run a report (after the vehicle has been
running a minimum of 60 seconds):

•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
