System data cannot be accessed without
special equipment and access to the
vehicle's SYNC module. Ford Motor
Company and Ford of Canada will 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
(if equipped), Vehicle Health Report (if
equipped), and Traffic, Directions and
Information (if equipped).
USING VOICE RECOGNITION
This system helps you control many
features using voice commands. This
allows you to keep your hands on the
wheel and focus on what is in front of you.Helpful Hints
Make sure the interior of the vehicle is as
quiet as possible. Wind noise from open
windows and road vibrations may prevent
the system from correctly recognizing
spoken commands.
After pressing the voice icon, wait until
after the tone sounds and "Listening"
appears before saying a command. Any
command spoken prior to this does not
register with the system.
Speak naturally, without long pauses
between words.
At any time you can interrupt the system
while it is speaking by pressing the voice
icon.
Initiating a Voice Session
Push the voice icon; a tone
sounds and "Listening" appears
in the display. Say any of the
following:
If You Want To
Say
Stream audio from your phone.

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
1. Press the phone button to enter thePhone menu.
2. Scroll until 911 Assist is selected.
3. Press OK to confirm and enter the 911 Assist menu.
4. Scroll to choose between the On and Off selections.
5. Press OK when the desired option appears in the radio display. Set On or
Set Off appears in the display as
confirmation.
Off selections include: Off with reminder
and Off without reminder. Off with
reminder provides a display and voice
reminder at phone connection at vehicle
start. Off without reminder provides a
display reminder only without a voice
reminder at phone connection.
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. •
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.

2. Follow the voice prompts to select your
destination. Once your destination is
selected, your current vehicle location
is uploaded and a route based on
current traffic conditions is calculated
and sent back to your vehicle. After the
route download is complete, the phone
call is automatically ended. You then
receive audible and visual driving
instructions as you travel towards you
destination. 3.

or say "Route summary" or "Route
status" to view the Route Summary
turn list or the Route Status ETA. You

Using Your Voice Recognition
System
This system helps you control many
features using voice commands. This
allows you to keep your hands on the
wheel and focus on what is in front of you.
The system provides feedback through
audible tones, prompts, questions and
spoken confirmations depending on the
situation and the chosen level of
interaction (voice settings).
The system also asks short questions
(confirmation prompts) when it is not sure
of your request or when there are multiple
possible responses to your request.
When using voice commands, words and
icons may also appear in the lower left
status bar indicating the status of the voice
session (i.e., listening, success, failed,
paused or try again).
How to Use Voice Commands with Your
System
Press the voice icon; after the
tone, speak your command
clearly.
What Can I Say?

• Say "What can I say?" for an on-screen
listing of the possible voice commands
associated with your current voice
session
• Press the voice icon; after the tone, say
