Voice command issues
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.
· Be aware that SYNC's
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".
· Do not use special charac-
ters in the title. The system
does not recognize them.
· Review the Phone voice
commands at the beginning
of the phone 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
or is calling the wrong
contact when I want to
make a call.
· Make sure you are saying
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
requires you to say "Call J-
A-K-E".

Privacy Information
When you connect a cell phone to SYNC,
the system creates a profile within your
vehicle that links to that cell phone. This
profile helps in offering you more cellular
features and operating more efficiently.
Among other things, this profile may
contain data about your cell 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 your cell phone or media player is
connected. If you no longer plan to use the
system or your vehicle, we recommend you
carry out 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 without 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.
Using Voice Commands
This system helps you control many
features using voice commands. This
allows you to keep your hands on the
wheel and focus on what is in front of you.
The system provides feedback through
audible tones, prompts, questions and
spoken confirmations depending on the
situation and the chosen level of
interaction (voice settings).
The system also asks short questions
(confirmation prompts) when it is not sure
of your request or when there are multiple
possible responses to your request.
When using voice commands, words and
icons may appear in the lower left status
bar indicating the status of the voice
command session (such as Listening,
Success, Failed, Paused or Try Again).
How to Use Voice Commands
Press the voice command icon.
After the tone, speak your voice
command clearly.
These voice commands can be said at any time during a voice command session
