park assist FORD EXPLORER 2015 5.G Owner's Manual

For your safety, some SYNC functions are speed-dependent. Their use is
limited to when your vehicle is traveling at speeds under 3 mph
(5 km/h).
Make sure that you review your device’s manual before using it with SYNC.
Speed-restricted Features
Some features of this system may be too difficult to use while your
vehicle is moving so they are restricted from use unless your vehicle is
stationary.
•Screens that are too crowded with information, such as Point of
Interest reviews and ratings, Sirius Travel Link sports scores, movie
times and ski conditions.
•Any action that requires you to use a keyboard is restricted, such as
entering a navigation destination or editing information.
•All lists are limited so the user can view fewer entries (such as phone
contacts or recent phone call entries).
See the following chart for more specific examples:
