portable music device to the audio
system.
Required equipment:
1. Any portable music player designed to be used with headphones

2. Ensure that the battery in your portable music player is new or fully
charged and that the device is turned off.
3. Attach one end of the audio extension cable to the headphone output
of your player and the other end of the audio extension cable to the AIJ
in your vehicle.
4. Turn the radio on, using either a tuned FM station or a CD loaded into
the system. Adjust the volume to a comfortable listening level.
5. Turn the portable music player on and adjust the volume to 1/2 the
volume.
6. Press AUX on the vehicle radio repeatedly until LINE, LINE IN or
SYNC LINE IN appears in the display.

911 Assist™ (if equipped)
For 911 Assist™ to function properly, the vehicle must have
battery power after the crash, the cell phone must be previously
paired, connected to SYNC, and continue to function properly
with the ability to make and maintain a 911 call initiated by
SYNC, and the 911 Assist™ feature must be previously enabled
(set to ON).
WARNING:Do not wait for 911 Assist™ to initiate an
emergency call if you are capable yourself. Dial emergency
services immediately to avoid delayed response time, which could
increase the risk of serious injury or death after a crash. If you do not
hear 911 Assist™ within 5 seconds after the crash, the system or
phone may be damaged or non-functional.
The cell phone or 911 Assist™ hardware may become damaged in
a crash, the vehicle may lose battery power, or the cell phone may
be thrown from the vehicle, which could prevent operation.
Additionally, every cell phone operates differently. While SYNC,
911 Assist™ works with most cell phones, some may have trouble
using this feature. Finally, not all crashes deploy an airbag or, in
certain vehicles, activate the fuel pump shut-off which are the
criteria to initiate 911 Assist™.

Airbags generally deploy in certain frontal, near frontal, side and rollover
crashes, and the deployment of any airbag is intended to act as a 911
Assist™ trigger if those events occur. For more information about airbag
deployment, see theSeating and Safety Restraintschapter of your
Owner Guide. The fuel pump shut-off, in certain vehicles, is intended to
act as a trigger for 911 Assist™ in rear-end crashes, in which airbags
generally do not deploy. To determine if your vehicle has this trigger,
check theRoadside Emergencychapter in your Owner’s Guide. If your
Owner Guide describes a “Fuel Pump Shut-off”, it will trigger 911
Assist™. If your Owner Guide describes a “Fuel Pump Shut-offSwitch”,
it will not trigger 911 Assist™.
WARNING:Always place cell phone in a secure location to
prevent it from becoming a projectile or becoming damaged in
the event of a collision. Failure to do so may cause serious injury or
damage the phone which could prevent 911 Assist from functioning
properly.
911 ASSIST™ PRIVACY NOTICE: Once 911 Assist™ is enabled
(set to ON), 911 Assist™ may, through any paired and connected
cell phone, disclose to emergency services that the vehicle has
been in a crash involving the deployment of an airbag or, in
certain vehicles, the 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, and/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
enable (set to ON) the feature.
Note:If 911 Assist™ is enabled/disabled by any user, the current setting
will apply for all paired phones. If the 911 Assist™ setting is disabled
(set to OFF), a voice message and/or display item will inform the vehicle
occupants when a previously paired phone connects to SYNCat vehicle
start up.
In the event of a crash involving the deployment of an airbag or the
activation of the fuel pump shut-off, in certain vehicles, SYNCis
designed to assist occupants in attempting to contact emergency services
by dialing 911 through the occupant’s paired and connectedBluetooth
enabled cellular phone. In the event that a connected cellular phone is
damaged or loses connection to SYNC, SYNCwill search for and
connect to any available, previously paired cell phone and attempt to
place the call to 911. Before initiating the call, SYNCprovides a short
Entertainment Systems

2011 Fiesta(fie)

Page 67 of 357
window of time (approximately 10 seconds) that allows the driver or
passenger to decide whether to cancel the call by pressing and
holding
or PHONE on the steering wheel controls or on the audio
system. Before initiating the 911 call for the occupants, SYNCwill say
the following or a similar message:
“SYNCwill attempt to call 911. If you wish to cancel the call, press and
hold the phone button.”
If the call is not cancelled and a successful call is made, a pre-recorded
message will be played for the 911 operator and then the occupant(s) in
the vehicle will be able to communicate with the 911 operator.
Note:Failure to cancel the call as described above will result in SYNC
dialing 911.
Note:When you are connected to the 911 operator, be prepared to
provide your name, phone number and location immediately, because not
all 911 systems are capable of receiving this information electronically.
The following steps are required for the 911 Assist™ feature to perform
properly:
•SYNCis on and functioning properly at the time of the incident and
throughout feature activation and use.
•SYNC911 Assist™ feature is set to ON prior to the incident.
•ABluetoothenabled and compatible cellular phone is paired and
connected to SYNC.
•A connectedBluetoothenabled cellular phone that has the ability to
make and maintain an outgoing call at the time of the incident.
•A connectedBluetoothenabled cellular phone that has adequate
network coverage, battery power and signal strength.
•The vehicle is located in the U.S. or Canada or in a territory in which
911 is the emergency number.
WARNING:Unless 911 Assist™ is previously configured to ON
prior to a crash, 911 Assist™ will not dial for help during an
emergency, which could delay response time, increasing the risk of
serious injury or death after a crash.
