•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 May Not Work If
•Your cellular phone or 911 Assist hardware was damaged in a crash.
•The vehicle’s battery or SYNC system has no power.
•The phone(s) paired and connected to the system was thrown from
the vehicle.
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.
Vehicle Health Report (If Equipped, U.S. Only)
WARNING:Always follow scheduled maintenance instructions,
regularly inspect your vehicle, and seek repair for any damage or
problem you suspect. Vehicle Health Report supplements, but cannot
replace, normal maintenance and vehicle inspection. Vehicle Health
Report only monitors certain systems that are electronically monitored
by the vehicle and will not monitor or report the status of any other
system, (i.e., , brake lining wear). Failure to perform scheduled
maintenance and regularly inspect your vehicle may result in vehicle
damage and serious injury.
Note:Your Vehicle Health Report feature requires activation prior to
use. Visit www.SYNCMyRide.com to register. There is no fee or
subscription associated with Vehicle Health Report, but you must register
to use this feature.

Side Window Defogging or Defrosting
1. Select air distribution through the floor vent.
2. Select air distribution through the panel vent.
3. Select A/C.
4. Adjust the temperature control to maintain comfort.
5. Set the fan to the highest speed.
6. Direct the outer instrument panel vents toward the side windows.
To increase airflow to the outer instrument panel vents, close the vents
located in the middle of the instrument panel.
Improving Vehicle Drive Range
Your vehicle is equipped with a high voltage electric compressor and a
high voltage electric heater. You can increase your driving range by
minimizing the amount of energy expended to cool or heat the interior
during the drive.
•Press the brake pedal and power button while the vehicle is charging
to switch the climate control system on. This is beneficial because it
draws as much power as possible from the wall charge and not the
high voltage battery.
•Pre-condition the interior temperature during vehicle charging
reduces the battery energy use on the interior comfort and improves
range. SeeConvenience charging with MyFord mobilein the
Charging Your High Voltage Batterychapter.
•Hot and cold temperatures make your vehicle use more energy to
achieve and maintain a comfortable interior temperature. Park the
vehicle in the shade or in a parking structure when hot, and in a
garage when cold.
•Consider opening a window (or windows) to let fresh air circulate, if
weather conditions permit. Maximum energy savings can be achieved
by switching the climate system off. Do this only if conditions exist
for safe vehicle operation.
•Reduce fan speed.
•Set the AUTO temperature a couple degrees cooler than you normally
do on cold days and a couple degrees higher on hot days. Use the
heated seats on cold days to increase interior comfort.
•Switch the air conditioning system off in mild temperatures or low
humidity conditions.

condensation can occur when the temperature is cold. When normal
condensation occurs, a thin film of mist can form on the interior of the
lens. The thin mist eventually clears and exits through the vents during
normal operation. Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours under dry
weather conditions.
These are examples of acceptable condensation:
•Presence of thin mist (no streaks, drip marks or droplets).
•Fine mist covers less than 50% of the lens.
These are examples of unacceptable moisture (usually caused by a lamp
water leak):
•Water puddle inside the lamp.
•Large water droplets, drip marks or streaks present on the interior of
the lens.
Take your vehicle to a dealer for service if any of the above conditions of
unacceptable moisture are present.
Using the right bulbs
Replacement bulbs are specified in the chart below. Headlamp bulbs
must be marked with an authorized “D.O.T.” for North America to ensure
lamp performance, light brightness and pattern and safe visibility. The
correct bulbs will not damage the lamp assembly or void the lamp
assembly warranty and will provide quality bulb burn time.
