Using the Touch-Sensitive
Controls on Your System
To turn a feature on and off, just touch the
graphic with your finger. To get the best
performance from the touch-sensitive
controls:
• Do not press hard on the controls. They
are sensitive to light touch.
• Use your bare finger to touch the center
of a touch-control graphic. Touching
off-center of the graphic may affect
operation of a nearby control.
• Make sure your hands are clean and
dry.
• Since the touchscreen operates based
on the touch of a finger, you may have
trouble using it if you are wearing
gloves.
• Keep metal and other conductive
material away from the surface of the
touchscreen as this may cause
electronic interference (for example,
inadvertently turning on a feature other
than the one you meant to turn on).
Cleaning the Touchscreen Display
Use a clean, soft cloth such as one used
for cleaning glasses. If dirt or fingerprints
are still visible, apply a small amount of
alcohol to the cloth. Do not pour or spray
alcohol onto the display. Do not use
detergent or any type of solvent to clean
the display. Using Your Bezel Controls
Depending on your vehicle and option
package, you may also have these controls
on your bezel:
•
Power: Switch the media or climate
features off and on.
• VOL: Control the volume of playing
media.
• Temperature, fan and climate control
buttons: Control the temperature, fan
speed or settings of the climate control
system.
• Seek and Tune buttons: Use as you
normally would in media modes.
• Eject: Eject a CD from the
entertainment system.
• SOURCE:
Touch the word repeatedly
to see all available media modes. The
screen does not change, but you see
the media change in the lower left
status bar.
• MEDIA:
Touch the word to access the
Sound menu where you can adjust
settings such as: Bass, Treble,
Midrange, Balance and Fade, DSP
(Digital Signal Processing), Occupancy
Mode and Speed Compensated
Volume. (Your vehicle may not have
all of these sound options.)
• Hazard flasher: Switch the hazard
flashers off and on.
Using Your Steering Wheel
Controls
Depending on your vehicle and option
package, you can use your steering wheel
controls to interact with the touchscreen
system. See
Steering Wheel (page 60).
Support
The SYNC support team is available to
help you with any questions you are not
able to answer on your own.

(If Equipped)

If a crash deploys an airbag (excludes knee
airbags and rear inflatable safety belts [if
equipped]) 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. You can learn
more about the 911 Assist feature, visit
www.SYNCMyRide.com,
www.SYNCMyRide.ca or
www.syncmaroute.ca.
See Supplementary Restraints System
(page 36). Important information
regarding airbag deployment is in this
chapter.
See Roadside Emergencies (page 204).
Important information regarding the fuel
pump shut-off is in this chapter.
Setting 911 Assist On If your vehicle is equipped with
Navigation, touch the i
(Information) button to access
these features. If your vehicle is not
equipped with Navigation, touch the corner
of the touchscreen with the green tab.
Touch
Apps > 911 Assist, then select On. You can also access 911 Assist
by:
• Pressing the Settings icon >
Settings
> Phone > 911 Assist, or
• Pressing the Settings 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. •
You must pair and connect a
Bluetooth-enabled and compatible
phone 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 United States,
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
trigger 911 Assist); however, SYNC tries to
contact emergency services if 911 Assist
triggers. If a connected phone sustains
damage 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.
If you fail to cancel the call, SYNC
attempts 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 you do not cancel the call, and SYNC
makes a successful call, a pre-recorded
message plays for the 911 operator, and
then the occupant(s) in your 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.
