rates may apply. Ford Motor Company reserves
the right to change or discontinue this product
service at any time without prior notification
or incurring any future obligation. Note:

traffic regulations. Do not follow the route
suggestions if doing so would result in an
unsafe or illegal maneuver, if you would be
placed in an unsafe situation, or if you would
be directed into an area that you consider
unsafe. Maps used by this system may be
inaccurate because of errors, changes in roads,
traffic conditions or driving conditions. Note:
When you connect, the service uses
GPS technology and advanced vehicle sensors
to collect your vehicle's current location, travel
direction and speed to help provide you with
the directions, traffic reports, or business
searches you request. Further, to provide the
services you request, for continuous
improvement, the service may collect and
record call details and voice communications.
For more information, see SYNC Services
Terms and Conditions at
www.SYNCMyRide.com. If you do not want
Ford or its service providers to collect your
vehicle travel information or other information
identified in the Terms and Conditions, do not
subscribe or use the service.

sensors, integrated GPS technology and
comprehensive map and traffic data, to give

911 Assist
(If Equipped) WARNINGS
Unless the 911 Assist setting is set on
before 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. 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. Always place your phone in a secure
location in your vehicle so it does not
become a projectile or damaged in a
crash. Failure to do so may cause serious
injury to someone or damage the phone,
which could prevent 911 Assist from working
properly. Note:
The SYNC 911 Assist feature must be
set on prior to the incident.
357
MKS (), enUSA MyLincoln Touch
™E142608 E142608

Note:
Before setting this feature on, make
sure that you read the 911 Assist Privacy Notice
later in this section for important information.
Note: If any user turns 911 Assist on or off, that
setting applies for all paired phones. If 911
Assist is turned off, either a voice message
plays or a display message (or icon) comes
on (or both) when your vehicle is started after
a previously paired phone connects.
Note: Every phone operates differently. While
SYNC 911 Assist works with most cellular
phones, some may have trouble using this
feature.
If a crash deploys an airbag (excludes knee
airbags and rear inflatable safety belts [if
equipped]) 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. You can learn
more about the 911 Assist feature, visit
www.SYNCMyRide.com,
www.SYNCMyRide.ca or
www.syncmaroute.ca.
See Supplementary Restraints System
(page 36). Important information regarding
airbag deployment is in this chapter. See
Roadside Emergencies (page 207).
Important information regarding the fuel
pump shut-off is in this chapter.
Setting 911 Assist On If your vehicle is equipped with
Navigation, touch the i
(Information) button to access
these features. If your vehicle is not equipped
with Navigation, touch the corner of the
touchscreen with the green tab.
Touch
Apps > 911 Assist, then select On. You can also access 911 Assist by:
• Pressing the Settings icon >
Settings >
Phone > 911 Assist, or
• Pressing the Settings icon >
Help > 911
Assist.
To make sure that 911 Assist works properly:
• SYNC must be powered and working
properly at the time of the incident and
throughout feature activation and use.
• The 911 Assist feature must be set on prior
to the incident.
• You must pair and connect a
Bluetooth-enabled and compatible
phone 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 United States, 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 trigger
911 Assist); however, SYNC tries to contact
emergency services if 911 Assist triggers. If a
connected phone sustains damage 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.
358
MKS (), enUSA MyLincoln Touch
™E142608 E142607

Before making the call:
•
SYNC provides a short window of time
(about 10 seconds) to cancel the call. If
you fail to cancel the call, SYNC attempts
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 you do not cancel the call, and SYNC
makes a successful call, a pre-recorded
message plays for the 911 operator, and then
the occupant(s) in your 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
sustains damage in a crash.
• The vehicle's battery or the SYNC system
has no power.
• The phones(s) previously paired or
connected to the system are thrown from
the vehicle. 911 Assist Privacy Notice
When you turn on 911 Assist, it may disclose
to emergency services that your 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 your
vehicle location or other details about your
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.
