•Budget Text View: contains basic information to help you reach your
next charging destination or to achieve your vehicle range estimate.
Charge pt: is the distance remaining to the next charge point you
identified using the Navigation system.
Surplus: is the available range beyond your identified charge point
(current Range Estimate shown on Battery Gauge minus Charge pt
distance).
If you don’t enter a charge point, you will see:
Budget: is set to the Range Estimate at the point of departure. This
will count down with the odometer.
Status: is your performance against your Budget (current Range
Estimate shown on Battery Gauge minus Budget distance). A positive
Status indicates you are using less energy than typical and have
extended your Range Estimate by the distance shown.
• Budget view: helps you manage your energy use.
Your current Energy Use is the white line that moves up and down in
the Budget Gauge. A higher line means you are using more energy
(lower is better). Your energy use includes input from the accelerator
pedal as well as the accessories, such as Climate Control.
The Budget is shown by the blue cup shape around the Budget Gauge.
As long as your current Energy Use is within the cup, you are staying
within your budget. Your Budget represents the maximum energy
usage you can maintain in order to achieve your vehicle range
estimate, or reach your intended charge point. Driving for extended
periods outside of the Budget Cup reduces your budget and could put
you at risk of not reaching your intended charge point.
• Range view: shows your range relative to your charge point as well as
performance to your budget.
A blue charge point icon means you have a Surplus. If an E appears to
the left of an amber charge point icon, then you are projected to run
out of charge prior to reaching your charge point.
Current performance to your budget is represented by the glow of the car
icon: more Blue = better performance to budget, more Amber = worse.
The optional Surplus Graphic displays available range beyond your
charge point.
If you didn’t enter your charge point through the Navigation system,
your budget will be set to the range estimate at the start of your trip.
The gauge will show your estimated distance to E (empty) along with
your current performance to budget. The optional Surplus Graphic is
not available in this case.

Setting 911 Assist OnPress the information button > Apps > 911 Assist, then select
ON.
You can also access 911 Assist by:
• Pressing the Menu icon > Settings > Phone > 911 Assist, or
• Pressing the Menu icon > Help > 911 Assist.
To Ensure that 911 Assist Works Properly
• SYNC must be powered and working properly at the time of the
incident and throughout feature activation and use.
• SYNC 911 Assist feature must be set on prior to the incident.
• A Bluetooth-enabled and compatible phone has to be paired and
connected 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 U.S.,
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 activate 911 Assist); however, if 911 Assist is triggered,
SYNC tries to contact emergency services. If a connected phone is
damaged 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. Failure to cancel the call results in SYNC attempting 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 the call is not cancelled and a successful call is made, a prerecorded
message is played for the 911 operator, then the occupant(s) in the
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.

911 Assist Privacy Notice
Once 911 Assist is set on, it may disclose to emergency services that the
vehicle has been in a crash involving the deployment of an airbag or
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 turn the
feature on.
