Using the Touch-sensitive Controls on Your System
To turn a feature on and off, just touch the graphic with your finger.
To get the best performance from the touch-sensitive controls, keep in
mind:
•Do not press hard on the controls. They are sensitive to light touch.
•Use your bare finger to touch the center of a touch-control graphic.
Touching off-center of the graphic may affect operation of a nearby
control.
•Make sure your hands are clean and dry.
•
Keep metal and other conductive material away from the surface of
the touchscreen as this may cause electronic interference (for example,
inadvertently turning on a feature other than the one you meant to
turn on).
Depending on your vehicle and option package, you may also have these
controls on your bezel:
•Power: Switch the media or climate features off and on.
•VOLand fan slider bars: Slide your finger over the rear slider area to
control the volume of playing media or the climate system fan.
•Seek and Tune buttons: Use as you normally would in media modes.
•Eject: Eject a CD from the entertainment system.
•SOURCE:Touch the word repeatedly to see all available media
modes. The screen does not change, but you see the media change in
the lower left status bar.
•SOUND:Touch the word to access the Sound menu where you can
adjust settings such as: Bass, Treble, Midrange, Balance and Fade,
THX Deep note Demo, DSP (Digital Signal Processing), Occupancy
Mode and Speed Compensated Volume. (Your vehicle may not have
all of these sound options.)
•Hazard flasher: Switch the hazard flashers off and on.
Cleaning the Touchscreen Display
Use a clean, soft cloth such as one used for cleaning glasses. If dirt or
fingerprints are still visible, apply a small amount of alcohol to the cloth.
Do not pour or spray alcohol onto the display. Do not use detergent or
any type of solvent to clean the display.

Safety information
WARNING:Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle
control, accident and injury. Ford strongly recommends that
drivers use extreme caution when using any device that may take their
focus off the road. Your primary responsibility is the safe operation of
the vehicle. We recommend against the use of any handheld device
while driving, encourage the use of voice-operated systems when
possible and that you become aware of applicable state and local laws
that may affect use of electronic devices while driving.
•Do not attempt to service or repair SYNC®. See your authorized
dealer.
•Do not operate playing devices if the power cords and/or cables are
broken, split or damaged. Carefully place cords and/or cables where
they will not be stepped on or interfere with the operation of pedals,
seats and/or compartments, or safe driving abilities.
•Do not leave playing devices in the vehicle in extreme conditions as it
could cause damage to your device. Refer to your device’s user guide
for further information.
•For your safety, some SYNC® functions are speed dependent and
cannot be performed when the vehicle is traveling at speeds greater
than 3 mph (5 km/h).
•Ensure that you review your device’s user guide before using with
SYNC®.

Privacy information
When a cellular phone is connected to SYNC®, SYNC® creates a profile
within your vehicle that is linked to that cellular phone. This profile is
created in order to offer you more cellular features and to operate more
efficiently. Among other things, this profile may contain data about your
cellular phone book, text messages (read and unread), and call history,
including history of calls when your cell phone was not connected to
SYNC®. In addition, if you connect a media device, SYNC® creates and
retains an index of media content supported by SYNC®. SYNC® also
records a short development log of approximately 10 minutes of all
recent SYNC® activity. The log profile and other SYNC® data may be
used to improve SYNC® and help diagnose any problems that may occur.
The cellular profile, media device index, and development log will remain
in the vehicle unless you delete it and are generally accessible only in
the vehicle when the cellular phone or media player is connected. If you
no longer plan to use SYNC® or the vehicle, we recommend you perform
a Master Reset to erase all information stored in SYNC®.
SYNC® data cannot be accessed without special equipment and access
to the vehicle’s SYNC® module. Ford Motor Company and Ford of
Canada will not access SYNC® data for any purpose other than as
described absent 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™ (if equipped),
Vehicle Health Report (if equipped), and Traffic, Directions and
Information (if equipped).

Note:If your vehicle is not equipped with Navigation, Compass appears
in the display instead of Navigation. If you press the right arrow to go
into the Compass menu, you can see the compass graphic. The compass
displays the direction in which the vehicle is traveling, not true direction
(i.e., if the vehicle is traveling west, the middle of the compass graphic
displays west; north displays to the left of west though its true direction
is to the right of west).
USING VOICE RECOGNITION
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 session (such as
Listening, Success, Failed, Paused or Try Again).
How to Use Voice Commands with Your System
Press the voice icon. After the tone, speak your command
clearly.
These commands can be said at any time.
“Cancel”
“Exit”
“Go back”
“List of commands”
“Main menu”

What Can I Say?
To access the available voice commands for the current session, do one
of the following:
•During a voice session, press the Help icon (?) in the lower left status
bar of the screen.
•Say, “What can I say?” for an on-screen listing of the possible voice
commands associated with your current voice session.
•Press the voice icon. After the tone, say, “Help” to hear a list of
possible voice commands.
Helpful Hints
•Make sure the interior of your vehicle is as quiet as possible. Wind
noise from open windows and road vibrations may prevent the system
from correctly recognizing spoken commands.
•After pressing the voice icon, wait until after the tone sounds and
Listening appears before saying a command. Any command spoken
prior to this does not register with the system.
•Speak naturally, without long pauses between words.
•At any time, you can interrupt the system while it is speaking by
pressing the voice icon.
Accessing a List of Available Commands
•If you use the touchscreen, press the Settings icon >Help>Voice
Command List.
•If you use the steering wheel control, press the voice icon. After the
tone, speak your command clearly.

Voice Settings
Voice settings allow you to customize the level of system interaction,
help and feedback. The system defaults to standard interaction that uses
candidate lists and confirmation prompts as these provide the highest
level of guidance and feedback.
Interaction Mode:Novice mode provides detailed interaction and
guidance while the advanced mode has less audible interaction and more
tone prompts.
Confirmation Prompts:The system uses these short questions to
confirm your voice request. If turned off, the system simply makes a best
guess as to what you requested. The system may still occasionally ask
you to confirm settings.
Phone/Media Candidate Lists:Candidate lists are lists of possible
results from your voice commands. The system creates these lists when
it has the same confidence level of several options based on your voice
command.
To access these settings using the touchscreen:
1. Press theSettings icon >Settings>Voice Control.
2. Select from:
•Interaction Mode
•Confirmation Prompts
•Media Candidate Lists
•Phone Candidate Lists
•Voice Control Volume.

Using Voice Commands with the Touchscreen Options
Your voice system has a dual mode feature which allows you to switch
between using voice commands and making on-screen selections. This is
available only when the system displays a list of candidates generated
during a voice session. For example, when entering in a street address or
trying to call a contact from the phone you paired to the system.
