Safety information
WARNING:Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle
control, accident and injury. Ford strongly recommends that
drivers use extreme caution when using any device that may take their
focus off the road. Your primary responsibility is the safe operation of
the vehicle. We recommend against the use of any handheld device
while driving, encourage the use of voice-operated systems when
possible and that you become aware of applicable state and local laws
that may affect use of electronic devices while driving.
•
Do not attempt to service or repair SYNC. See your authorized dealer.
•Do not operate playing devices if the power cords and/or cables are
broken, split or damaged. Carefully place cords and/or cables where
they will not be stepped on or interfere with the operation of pedals,
seats and/or compartments, or safe driving abilities.
•Do not leave playing devices in the vehicle in extreme conditions as it
could cause damage to your device. Refer to your device’s user guide
for further information.
•
Ensure that you review your device’s user guide before using with SYNC.
Privacy information
When a cellular phone is connected to SYNC, SYNCcreates a profile
within your vehicle that is linked to that cellular phone. This profile is
created in order to offer you more cellular features and to operate 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
SYNC. In addition, if you connect a media device, SYNCcreates and
retains an index of media content supported by SYNC. SYNCalso
records a short development log of approximately 10 minutes of all
recent SYNCactivity. The log profile and other SYNCdata may be
used to improve SYNCand help diagnose any problems that may occur.
The cellular profile, media device index, and development log will remain
in the vehicle unless you delete it and are generally accessible only in
the vehicle when the cellular phone or media player is connected. If you
no longer plan to use SYNCor the vehicle, we recommend you perform
a Master Reset to erase all information stored in SYNC.
SYNCdata cannot be accessed without special equipment and access to
the vehicle’s SYNCmodule. Ford Motor Company and Ford of Canada will
not access SYNCdata 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 your voice recognition system
Your SYNCsystem comes equipped with an advanced voice recognition
(VR) system. This system is easy to use and helps you control many
features via voice commands, thereby allowing you to keep your hands
on the wheel and focus on what is in front of you.
Here we’ll cover the basics of how the system works and some global
voice commands. The majority of the voice commands will be covered
later in the supplement with their respective modes (phone, media, etc.)
and will also be indicated with the voice icon shown below.
Initiating a voice session
To initiate a voice session with your SYNC system:
1. Press
.
2. Wait until you hear a tone prompt and Listening appears in the display.
3. Say any of the following global commands:
•“Phone”: Say to make calls.
•“USB”: Say to access the device connected to your USB port.
•“Bluetooth Audio”: Say to stream audio from your phone.
•“Line in” : Say to access the device connected to the auxiliary
input jack.

•“ Services” (if equipped, U.S. only): Say to access the SYNC
Services portal.

Applications (if available).
System interaction and feedback
The system provides feedback through audible tones, prompts, questions
and spoken confirmations depending on the situation and the chosen
level of interaction (voice settings). You can customize your VR system
to provide more or less instruction and feedback.
The default setting is to a higher level of interaction in order to be of
more help when you are first using the system. You can change these
settings at any time.
Adjusting the interaction level
1. Press
and when prompted, say, “Voice settings”.
2. You can say any of the following commands:
•“Interaction mode standard” / “Interaction mode advanced”
Standardinteraction provides more detailed interaction and
guidance whileadvancedhas less audible interaction and more
tone prompts. The system defaults to the standard setting.
•“Confirmation prompts on” / “Confirmation prompts off”
Confirmation promptsare short questions the system asks when
it is not sure of your request or when there are multiple possible
responses to your request. (For example, the system may ask,
“Phone, is that correct?”) If turned off, the system will simply
make a best guess as to what you requested and you may still
occasionally be asked to confirm settings.
•“Phone candidate lists on” / “Phone candidate lists off”
•“Media candidate lists on” / “ Media candidate lists off”
The system createscandidate listswhen it has the same
confidence level of several options based on your voice command.
When turned on, the system may submit back as many as four
possibilities for clarification.

For example, “Say 1 after the tone to call John Doe at home. Say 2
after the tone to call Johnny Doe on mobile. Say 3 after the tone
to call Jane Doe at home.” Or, “Say 1 after the tone to play John
Doe, Say 2 after the tone to play Johnny Doe.
Helpful Hints
•Ensure that 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
, ensure that you wait until after the tone
sounds and Listening appears in the display before saying a
command. Any command spoken prior to this will 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
.
