911 Assist™ (If Equipped)
WARNING:Unless the 911 Assist™ setting is set on prior to a
crash, the system will not dial for help which could delay
response time, potentially increasing the risk of serious injury or death
after a crash.
WARNING:Do not wait for 911 Assist™ to make an emergency
call if you can do it 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 five
seconds of the crash, the system or phone may be damaged or
non-functional.
WARNING:Always place your phone in a secure location in the
vehicle so it does not becoming a projectile or get damaged in a
collision. Failure to do so may cause serious injury to someone or damage
the phone which could prevent 911 Assist™ from working properly.
Note:SYNC911 Assist™ feature must be set on prior to the incident.
Note:Before setting this feature on, ensure that you read the 911
Assist™ privacy notice later in this section for important information.
Note:If 911 Assist™ is turned on or off by any user, that setting applies
for all paired phones. If 911 Assist™ is turned off, a voice message plays
and/or a display message/icon comes on when the vehicle is started after
a previously paired phone connects.
Note:Every phone operates differently. While SYNC911 Assist™ works
with most cellular phones, some may have trouble using this feature.
If a crash deploys an airbag or activates the fuel pump shut-off, your
SYNC-equipped vehicle may be able to contact emergency services by
dialing 911 through a paired and connected Bluetooth-enabled phone.

Setting 911 Assist™ On
Press the information button > SYNC Apps. > 911 Assist, then
select ON.
You can also access 911 Assist by:
•Pressing Menu > Settings> Phone > 911 Assist, or

To Ensure that 911 Assist™ Works Properly
•SYNCmust be powered and working properly at the time of the
incident and throughout feature activation and use.
•SYNC911 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, SYNCtries to contact emergency services. If a connected
phone is damaged or loses connection to SYNC, SYNCsearches for,
and tries to connect to, any available previously paired phone and tries to
make the call to 911.
Before making the call:
•SYNCprovides a short window of time (about 10 seconds) to cancel
the call. Failure to cancel the call results in SYNCattempting to dial
911.
•SYNCsays the following, or a similar message: “SYNCwill 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.
