Possible solution(s)
Possible cause(s)
Issue
· Review the phone voice
commands and the media
voice commands at the
beginning of their respective
sections.
· You may be using the
wrong voice commands.
· You may be speaking too
soon or at the wrong time.
SYNC does not understand
what I am saying.

microphone is either in your
rear view mirror or in the
headliner just above the
windshield.
· Review the media voice
commands at the beginning
of the media section.
· You may be using the
wrong voice commands.
· You may be saying the
name differently than the
way you saved it.
SYNC does not understand
the name of a song or artist.
· Say the song or artist
exactly as listed. If you say
"Play Artist Prince", the
system does not play music
by Prince and the Revolution
or Prince and the New
Power Generation.
· The system may not be
reading the name the same
way you are saying it.
· Make sure you are saying
the complete title, such as
"California remix featuring
Jennifer Nettles".
· If the song titles are in all
CAPS, you have to spell
them. LOLA requires you to
say "L-O-L-A".

ters in the title. The system
does not recognize them.

commands at the beginning
of the phone section.

name differently than the
way you saved it.

the contacts exactly as they
are listed. For example, if
you save a contact as Joe
Wilson, say "Call Joe
Wilson".
· Contacts in your phone-
book may be very short and
similar, or they may contain
special characters.

Voice command issues
Possible solution(s)
Possible cause(s)
Issue
· The system works better if
you list full names, such as
"Joe Wilson" rather than
"Joe".
· Your phonebook contacts
may be in CAPS.
· Do not use special charac-
ters, such as 123 or ICE, as
the system does not recog-
nize them.
· If a contact is in CAPS, you
have to spell it. JAKE

A-K-E".

Safety Information
WARNING
Driving while distracted can result in
loss of vehicle control, crash and
injury. We strongly recommend that
you use extreme caution when using any
device that may take your focus off the
road. Your primary responsibility is the safe
operation of your vehicle. We recommend
against the use of any hand-held device
while driving and encourage the use of
voice-operated systems when possible.
Make sure you are aware of all applicable
local laws that may affect the use of
electronic devices while driving. •
Do not attempt to service or repair the
system. See an authorized dealer.
• Do not operate playing devices if the
power cords or cables are broken, split
or damaged. Place cords and cables
out of the way, so they do not interfere
with the operation of pedals, seats,
compartments or safe driving abilities. •
Do not leave playing devices in your
vehicle during extreme conditions as it
could cause them damage. See your
device's user guide for further
information.
• 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.

ratings, SIRIUS Travel Link sports
scores, movie times or ski conditions.

Privacy Information
When you connect a cellular phone to
SYNC, the system creates a profile within
your vehicle that links to that cellular
phone. This profile helps in offering you
more cellular features and operating more
efficiently. Among other things, this profile
may contain data about your cellular
phone book, text messages (read and
unread), and call history, including history
of calls when your cell phone was not
connected to the system. In addition, if you
connect a media device, the system
creates and retains an index of supported
media content. The system also records a
short development log of approximately
10 minutes of all recent system activity.
The log profile and other system data may
be used to improve the system and help
diagnose any problems that may occur. The cellular profile, media device index,
and development log remain in your
vehicle unless you delete them and are
generally accessible only in your vehicle
when the cellular phone or media player
is connected. If you no longer plan to use
the system or your vehicle, we recommend
you perform a Master Reset to erase all
stored information.
System data cannot be accessed without
special equipment and access to your
vehicle's SYNC module. Ford Motor
Company and Ford of Canada do 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,
Vehicle Health Report, and Traffic,
Directions and Information.
